Our Editor-at-Large did not mince words at all on Fourth of July:

The absurdity of building an isolation facility in Kenya for American citizens who might hypothetically contract Ebola — even though Kenya has no cases and the outbreak is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, two countries away — cannot be overstated. As an American passport holder, it's another addition to a growing list of things I find embarrassing.

Not only does this reinforce the monolithic “Africa is a country” mindset, but it also reveals how out of touch the American government is. I cannot imagine a scenario in which any American citizen would want to be quarantined in Kenya — not just Nairobi, but Nanyuki — a town not exactly known for cutting-edge healthcare or technology.

President Trump signed an executive order directs the U.S. Postal Service to send ballots only to voters who appear on a list of citizens to be compiled by the Department of Homeland Security with the assistance of the Social Security Administration.

Maybe you heard somewhere that the COVID-19 pandemic started with a lab leak? NO! That is NOT what the evidence shows. It was not a goddamn lab leak. I’ve had enough. Here is what the evidence shows: it was zoonotic spillover at the market rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/five-reaso...

Well I would care if the intent was to actually help unhoused folks and then it turned into some stupid initiative that would bring more assholes to the neighborhood. Like how many people would really want to have an ice housing facility etc. Use does matter even if folks claim they don't care

Not saying this would have changed anything but they didn't have conditions attached to the zoning change and the cba talk seemed half baked. The main critique I heard was that once rezoned this could be used for something different... conditions and a cba would have killed that argument.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

You're paying for this. Trump's Big Ugly Bill gave BILLIONS to ICE and giant corporations—using money meant to lower your health care costs. Instead of helping your mom get cancer treatment, your tax dollars are being used to terrorize communities.

Not all "federal workers" receive back pay. About half of our colleagues that applied to the fund during the furlough were contractors whose companies provided no back pay at all. Some companies even dropped their benefits completely - leaving staff without health coverage for almost 2 months.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history has ended, but the uncertainty for federal workers is far from over. “Even with back pay, we’ll still be starting behind and playing catch-up for a while,” said one Veterans Affairs employee who was furloughed for weeks. nyti.ms/4i4bP56
