Hi folks. We are down to The Headshot -- the most egregious statute in the federal criminal code, the moral vacuum in which U.S. prosecutors use a nuclear option against those they wish to target who are otherwise able to defend themselves against a criminal probe that is otherwise insubstantial:

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender, total of 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender, total of more than 4,000. Transgender folks are 1.0% of the population and they make up less than 0.1% of the mass shooters.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

"Kiss From a Rose" by Seal Banger after banger (though feels strange calling this song a "banger")
"Waterfalls" by TLC I'm not leaving til the music turns ...

Now it's "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell Im suspect they are tailoring the music specifically to me

Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness. Dems should polarize this debate to the max. Thoughts on this here: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
The more kids are invited to bike, walk and take public transit to school, the safer, healthier and smarter it is for EVERYONE. It’s shocking how much vehicle congestion in cities is actually “driven” by trips to and from schools. #BackToSchool #LetKidsBike #LetKidsWalk cartoon by Yehuda Moon

I don’t care what Bill Maher thinks about literally anything, whether I agree with it or not, because it has been decades since he did anything except get attention for saying uninteresting things. People go after Kardashians and so on for “being famous for being famous.” Maher is the same.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

I grew up on the channel (on the other side) Why I asked!
Did you walk the whole way to Burnham bridge (i.e., along VERY narrow/steep southside of the Channel)?
Let's see you at 21. This is 18 (best I can do with ease)
For the path you took? Nope The unpaved paths from Brownie to the Channel are great - those hopefully will never be paved as thta would spoil Cedar Lake's unique character
they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.
Red Hot Chili Peppers at my college "Founders Day". It rained and a lot of people left so there were maybe 200 of us there when they took the stage. The opening act was the college professor band. Their drummer was out so Chad Smith subbed in for their handful of songs!
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

This is a hell of a letter. “The intentional eroding of trust in low-risk vaccines…will bring us to a pre-vaccine era where only the strong will survive and many if not all will suffer….Eugenics plays prominently in the rhetoric being generated…”
There’s a widespread myth that Americans hate traffic cameras. It’s simply not true. On the contrary, researchers have consistently found that Americans broadly support using automatic enforcement to curb crashes. And for good reason: It works. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵
28 August 1939 | A Yugoslavian Jewish boy, Andrija Schossberger, was born in Novi Sad. In April 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
Brief 🧵, as someone who has studied mass shootings for 13 years: -gender does not cause them -SSRIs, no -mental illness, no -internet/gaming, no Above can be compounding factors—but motive is complex, often very. The most fundamental combo: suicidality + rage + isolation + easy access to guns
First trans woman to ever have perpetrated a mass shooting in the US, btw.
Oh, she was trans. That's going to make the statistical abuse here--which is now absolutely inevitable--even worse. Because the first half of the fallacy ("most shooters have trait x") doesn't even apply here: rarely are mass shooters trans! But no doubt all trans ppl will be demonized now.
I don't know any details abt the MN shooter. But I know whatever traits get revealed, they will be (statistically) misused in ways that inescapably malign entire groups, often vulnerable groups. It happens every time. It's called "selecting on the dependent variable," and it's a REALLY big deal.
I thought Frey and O’Hara did well today. Their words were comforting and informative. The real political test for all our leaders now is going to be supporting the trans community to the fullest.
GOP fueled hate is about to get a lot worse
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
Like, if Newsom wants to use his current power to actually fight, which he’s finally doing, fine, I’ll accept the assist, but there’s no way in hell I’m ever giving him more power. He’s shown who he is
I feel like Bowling for Columbine said just about everything we need to know, and that was in 2002.
We all know I’m not a fan of the mayor. But this is leadership.
Heartbroken for the families, teachers, and community of Annunciation School in Minneapolis. Our country has a gun violence epidemic. We must act.
A mass shooting at another US school. Can't wait to see the pearl clutching by Republicans for gun rights rather than the rights to life and safety of children in this God damn country.
Kids are getting murdered at school. It's the guns.
Annunciation report via a Star Tribune reporter who lives near by. Horrifying.
I’ve been briefed on a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School and will continue to provide updates as we get more information. The BCA and State Patrol are on scene. I’m praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence.
That would be a frightening FootLocker
NEW RESULT: Democrats have flipped a state Senate in Iowa. This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%. This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
