E-bikes are giving teenagers something we thought they’d lost
If you’ve spent any time reading local neighborhood social media groups lately – and for your mental health, I hope you haven’t – you’ve probably encountered a familiar complaint: teenagers on e-bikes. more…

the sum total of Sam Alito’s jurisprudence on voting adds up to “You have the right to vote for a Republican and if you aren’t likely to vote for a Republican, then Republicans are allowed to disenfranchise you.”

The Trump White House will sabotage mail-in voting, blocking before and disputing after, disenfranchising Americans however they can. The Roberts Court will make up some BS to allow it. It’s wrong, it isn’t fair, it shouldn’t be. But it is. And it’s beatable. Big numbers in person and they lose.

More than 50,000 South Dakotans became eligible for Medicaid three years ago thanks to a ballot measure that passed with 56 percent of the vote. Now, state Republicans want to raise the threshold for these measures to 60 percent.

"Disrespectful for Voters": The Dakotas Weigh Raising the Bar for Direct Democracy - Bolts
Frustrated that voters are bypassing the legislatures they control, the GOP is pushing two ballot measures this fall in North Dakota and South Dakota to require a supermajority to amend the state constitutions.

The entire Clippers/Kawhi thing is very 2026. If you’re rich, you can (apparently) do whatever you want. If you’re involved in a scandal, it might even advance your career. If you’re the press, you’ll get vilified for exposing it.

"We can't afford it" has never meant that the United States government is incapable of providing care free at the point of service. What it means is that the rich business owners who run the government don't believe they can afford their workers not being enslaved to their job to go to the doctor.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

According to a landmark study published in The Lancet, the average American family would save nearly $2,500 per year under a Medicare for All system. Even a study by the Koch-funded Mercatus Center found that Medicare for All would save America around $2 trillion over a 10-year period.
