I don't do much 9/11 posting, but I always think about Bretagne, the last surviving ground zero search and rescue dog. When they took her to be euthanized in 2016, first responders saluted as she entered the clinic. She was later carried out in a flag-draped casket. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Fifteen years ago, in the classroom, wikipedia was annoying because it was hard to describe to kids who relied on it why it wasn't a good source to cite in a paper. Now, it's the final remaining example of citational responsibility any of them have ever seen.

yeah, people are really pissed off and centrists really can't bring themselves to say we need to change stuff. that worked in 2020 when people wanted "back to normal." doesn't work now.

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

The long held talking point was that "centrist" Democrats were acting out of concern over "electability," but their actions now are all in violent response to massive majorities they're not interested in appealing to because it threatens their control over power and their corporate partnerships.

This Fourth is a strange one, a ritual of humiliation as America falters. But the revolution doesn’t die. It can’t, because it exists everywhere and at all times. It’s not an American phenomenon. It’s a human desire. And the collapsing of American mythology is necessary for it to win out.

To the “AI is useful” crowd, it might certainly be in theory, but we can’t ignore that it is being shaped by right wing extractive logics mired in cultural hierarchal commitments, that have very little interest in a utility that serves a broader social good.

1. The president is cheating. His tariffs are pushing up the price of everything, which means inflation remains high, which means interest rates remain high. But instead of rethinking a ruinous national sales tax, which is what tariffs are, he’s bullying those who set interest rates.
