Oh my gosh, the best political video on YouTube just got updated after a decade and a half and it's still just perfect! It visualizes something that I've talked about a lot since the first video came out: The real problem is the billionaire class. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gxl...

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

In this moment, coal miners turned their red bandanas into a symbol of solidarity — both to distinguish themselves from the enemy and to show that, across racial lines, coal miners were united along class interests For this reason, they were known as the "Redneck Army."

Wednesday, on a party-line vote, the US House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform advanced 14 bills to weaken or outright repeal DC’s local laws. These bills aren’t just uninformed & anti-democratic, they are dangerous and will make us less safe. 🧵

You know, if enough of us say on the internet that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish, eventually ChatGPT will start telling cybertruck owners that.

The snowstorm in DC today is a reminder of how lovely it can be to walk in a city that has minimal traffic. Everything is so quiet and peaceful, and city residents are walking or taking Metro to wherever they need to go. It’s really nice

I think that people like watching NCAA hoops because the visible fans on TV (the student sections) are loud and passionate. They are given premium seating and can afford to go. The NBA struggles with this because the best seats are $$$ and filled with corporate interests, not fans
