I've seen others make this point (or something similar to it) before, and I've talked about it on panels before, but I'm not sure I've seen someone land it so perfectly and succinctly as Anand Giridharadas @anandwrites.bsky.social does right here. Wow. Bravo. This has *always* been an issue.

Meeting up with @pedrothelion.bsky.social in St. Louis to hand off merch and gear for their October tour. I’m surprised it all fit in my wife’s little Honda HRV.

Americans don’t want masked vigilantes in the streets shooting our neighbors. We want safe communities, clean water, affordable housing, and access to healthcare. We want leaders focused on making our lives better, not putting our communities in danger.

"State law in Arkansas doesn’t require much to open a private school, nothing about teacher skills or what kids learn. But it does require that all schools display an American flag, and we wanted to follow the rules." Unbelievable story. Also, immediately ordering the ProPublica Academy pencils.

Happy 50th Anniversary to this Stevie Wonder masterpiece! This is one of the first albums I can remember hearing all the way through as a kid. My friend's dad had it on reel-to-reel, we'd go over there and he'd play it for us in his groovy "music room" with blue shag carpet on the walls.

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Across the country, private equity and corporations are buying up doctors' offices, leading to patients paying more for worse care. @repvalhoyle.bsky.social and I are introducing the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act to get Wall Street out of Americans’ doctors’ offices.

I went into the office a couple hours early everyday this week because we've been so busy. I noticed the 8am scene at Panera is much different than the 10am scene. The 10am old folks are way cooler. Probably a great hang.
