I’m old enough to remember the New York Times pushing Americans into the Iraq war that killed a million people, greatly weakened our international standing, and diverted vast resources into the pockets of a few billionaires. It’s always been this bad.

Something big has happened over the past few decades in Paris & its suburbs: Car use has declined dramatically.
Some key explanations:
—Large reductions in car-centric street space
—Vast investments in noncar transport modes

Judd Legum explains one key way Trump plans to strip power from Congress--and the officials we elected to send there to procure and fund services for us--by getting his justices to overturn The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 instituted after Nixon.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

Framing the problem as a TikTok problem is a mistake. But dismissing widespread false accusations of pedophilia is also a mistake. Among other things, it harms actual victims and survivors of CSA by making it harder to expose and hold to account actual criminals and by making light of their trauma.

The means--worldwide social media--as well as the message produces fear and trauma to individual teachers and families, the resignation and retirement of dedicated educators, and another reason for talented people, especially men, to not enter the profession. /2

I've been saddened to see so many people dismiss this activity--publicly accusing teachers of sex crimes--as typical or normal. It must be seen in the context of a political campaign to smear teachers as an attempt to silence them and break down trust in public institutions. /1

"Of the 38 people [who wrote and edited] Project 2025, 31 were appointed or nominated to positions in the Trump administration and transition. In other words, while Trump claims he has 'nothing to do' with the people who created Project 2025, over 81% had formal roles in his first administration."

A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

“Sometimes I wonder if all this coverage is because the media know how to cover a normal problem like a sub-par candidate; they don’t know how to cover something as abnormal and unprecedented as the end of the Republic. So for the most part they don’t.”

The rich who claim Trump is better for the economy don't care about the economy. They don't even care about the stock market. They care about their own taxes. "S&P 500 has achieved an average compound annual growth rate of 9.8% under Democratic presidents and 6% under [GOP]presidents since 1957."

"Roberts’ comments are not something we can just move on from. They must be taken seriously. It’s one thing for conservatives to like some of the policies Trump espouses. It’s an entirely different thing to suggest they’ll use violence against people who don’t agree."

Reading Biesta's "Good Education in an Age of Measurement", and so far it's a pretty great summary of his ideas about the purpose of education, the role of evidence, & "the hegemony of the technical-managerial approach" to accountability that have been very influential for me.

This a really important point. Since the New Deal at least conservatism has been premised on the idea that they are losing that it is “five minutes to midnight,” that civilization hangs in the balance, and that emergency politics is justified. I track this history in my book, FREE ENTERPRISE.
