YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.

This is a story about healthcare, but also how the Trump administration is assaulting immigrants from every direction, including tearing away their safety net. (As an aside, regarding the headline: People not having access to healthcare is bad whether or not they're documented!)

Emily warned the farmer about the E. coli, in case others needed to be warned about the milk. But then, Emily learned another child, a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm, was admitted to the same hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness, needing blood transfusions.

Article excerpt: After a couple of days, Brooklyn finally turned a corner. But in suburban Murietta, not far from the Marris family home, Victoria was just starting to decline.

She’d grown lethargic over the past week, with bouts of bloody diarrhea. After two unhelpful urgent care visits, the Galindos drove her to Rady on June 13. Bloodwork revealed she had the same disorder as Brooklyn, brought on by the same E. coli strain; she was rushed into intensive care. “My world just dropped,” Iris Galindo said.

Brooklyn had developed HUS, a rare condition in which microscopic blood clots clog small vessels and destroy vital organs. Doctors fastened wires to the barely conscious toddler. A tube down her trachea to help her breathe. Dialysis lines into her vessels to support her failing kidneys.

A toddler in a hospital bed with a breathing tube in her nose, a green pacifier in her mouth, and multiple medical electrodes attached to her head. She is looking at the camera and covered with a pink and purple Minnie Mouse blanket.

I'm so sick of this. Democrats do not hate your white son. They just expect your white son to treat other people like they are his equals. To accept women and non-white people as full citizens worthy of respect. Now, if he's unwilling to do that, then I hate him. But not because he's a white guy.

This is an underrated point, I think. It’s been asymmetrically distributed across the federal workforce but places like the FBI, they’ve fired people simply for doing the jobs assigned to them, when they happen to be redressing Republican wrongdoing. One of the most corrosive things of all this.

My greatest frustrating has been with policy wonks who persist in thinking we can just keep doing normal policy analysis ("calling balls and strikes") in this situation. The President of the United States is both lawless and out of his mind. That preempts all normal discussion.

got to the part of the making of the atomic bomb by richard rhodes where Merle Tuve independently discovers the scientific discipline of Marketing from first principles. NIMBYs also harder to defeat than splitting the atom

When Tuve had first proposed the Van de Graaff to the zoning board of the prosperous Chevy Chase neighborhood the board had turned him down.
Smashing atoms smacked of industrial process and the neighborhood had its property values to consider. Tuve noted the popularity of the Naval Observatory, across Connecticut Avenue a few miles west, and rechristened his project the Atomic Physics Observatory, which it was. As the APO it won approval.

People mistakenly believe that unfunded inclusionary zoning is a way to tax developers and rich people to fund subsidized housing for the poor. It is not. In reality, it’s a tax on working and middle class renters. Actual rich people, who overwhelmingly own single family homes, pay nothing at all.

when you said not to vote in 2024 you chose a future where the Republicans got to take their swing at governing, which meant they got to hurt trans people and other marginalized groups. you chose that future with every post you made about your disappointment with Biden & Harris.

In general there is an inability to recognize that parties to the Gaza war had agency & acted on it. One of the things the Atlantic article makes clear is that Hamas kept backing out of ceasefire agreements because Sinwar believed prolonging the war would drive a wedge in the US/Israeli alliance.

Again, gas prices spiked in 2022-23 because Russia invaded Ukraine which caused a major disruption in global supply. Then they came down. Biden didn’t cause it. Gas prices rose in 2026 due solely to the stupidity of Trump who started a war in the Middle East.
