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

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 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Here's a non-paywalled version of the reporting on Canada becoming a possible "associate member" of the EU. It suggests Canada is willing to agree free movement of people, which (if true) would mean that the EU would be willing to agree more internal market access. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Again, on Talarico's gender affirming care surgery on kids ban... Most gender affirming care surgery on children in the US, is white male boys, who took steroids trying to keep up with people like me, and accidentally grew a boob. They are not me. They get the titty removed to feel manly again.

You know what? FOX 2 Detroit ended their high school essay contest in 1995 because of me. I was the last winner. A (white) teacher at another HS accused me and my (white) AP English teacher of cheating. Essay was "too long." Previous winners read their essays on TV. I only got to visit the studio.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Periodic reminder that the vast majority of all gender affirming surgery done on minors in the US is "gyno correction." That means removing breast tissue from cis boys, usually football players, that didn't feel manly enough to compete with dudes like me, took steroids, and accidentally grew titties

Happy Tuesday! Who's ready to hear about 1. Flesh-eating maggots (mostly go after cattle) 2. They're native to the US 3. The USDA has kept them out of the US since the 1960s 4. But the flesh-eating maggots are making a 21st century comeback. And believe it or not it may be thanks to MAGA.
Screenshot of a CDC presentation slide on screwworm, titled "History of New World screwworm." There's a map showing its gradual eradication from the US, then southward through central America from the 1960s through the 1980s.

The fact that Russia is barely treading water in its war with Ukraine & likely to ultimately lose the war is a real testament to how colossal of a gap there is now between the quality of Ukrainian & Russian governmental institutions, and that's despite Ukr ones being pretty crooked and incompetent!

Functioning social democracies like Sweden depend on the fact that the wealthy also benefit from social services like child care because it builds mass legitimacy. If everyone benefits, everyone supports it, and you don't create a class that has a vested interest in destroying the welfare state

The Israeli interference in the Slovenian election needs attention NOW, before people go to the polls on Sunday. Slovenia recognized the Palestinian state in 2024 and was often alone in its opposition to the genocide in Gaza. This interference is a direct attack on democracy in Europe.
