Pokeweed is similarly toxic and even more common but ripping out every maybe harmful plant is madness.

No ma’am. Only 10% of prisons are private prisons. ALL PRISONS use this profit generating metric. It is not private prisons. It is ALL prisons.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

It's going to blow past that to deeper transit changes. Which already have traction. People in deep suburbia will flee to density.

New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

Smart phone are broadly useful and necessary, you can't just ditch them. It's the value in monetizing attention that makes them harmful. If they were regulated and/or social media we might have a chance. Tech must be a public utility.

We learn the hard way. The existing power structures built to service the industrial age die. Then, via lots of pain, new ones grow that change the incentives to make lying in mass not valuable to a few.

This is why I introduced a bill to ban stock trading across all three branches of government.   No one should get a free pass when they’ve been trusted to work in the best interest of the people they serve.   Especially not the President.

Everyone acts like the core news is something that you just have to know how to leverage rather than what is, a controlled tool that chooses what to amplify. Dems can't amplify themselves because they machine won't allow them.

The Pentagon is already far too secretive. Now, it wants a blanket FOIA exemption to hide unclassified records from the public. FPF is leading a coalition of transparency groups urging Congress to reject this dangerous and unnecessary secrecy push.
