I remember that people were warning about the tech bros in the 1990s. No one was listening because most people thought they were liberals and libertarians. I specifically remember reading Paulina Borsook's work at that time. I wonder what she's up to these days.

Trump’s Mass Deportation Machine Isn’t Helping Native-Born Workers
The first major study of Trump’s crackdown’s effect on labor markets shows it’s only making things worse for the U.S.-born workers it’s supposed to help.

Hawai‘i is nearing a pivotal deadline on military land leases, exposing how the US has long abused Hawaiian land and opening a rare chance for Native communities to assert Indigenous sovereignty and demand the land’s return for public and ecological healing.

What do voters want? See below. An unbought, forward-looking candidate who will stand up boldly for Hawai‘i — whether it’s against Republicans stealing our healthcare & funds, or the U.S. Military stealing Hawaiian lands. That's who should be the challenger to take on Ed Case!

Worth noting for organizers looking to replicate Zohran’s victory: Two structural things that he might not have won without — 1. Robust publicly financed elections 2. Ranked choice primary elections These structural reforms massively help underdog candidates and make democracy more real.

Child mortality used to be 50%. As recently as 1950, 25% of children died globally. Now it’s 4% globally, and 0.3% in some rich countries. A large part of that is better public health and vaccines. Republicans are trying to take us back to the past. ourworldindata.org/child-mortal...
Graph showing that throughout history, child mortality was around 50%. It wasn’t until the 20th century that this number dropped dramatically.

Welcome to the Death Spiral—aka what happens if Republicans succeed in cutting Medicaid.
Alt text: A circular infographic titled “Death Spiral: Republicans’ Medicaid cuts threaten the health care of all Americans—even people on private insurance.” The cycle is illustrated in five steps: (1) Medicaid cuts cause millions to lose health care, (2) People without coverage can’t pay for the care they need, (3) Rural hospitals lose significant revenue, (4) Health care workers are laid off and rural hospitals close, and (5) Entire communities lose health care services. Each step is accompanied by a small icon representing its message, and arrows connect the steps in a looping cycle. Source cited: CAP and Getty Images.
