"Since the federal takeover, he spends four nights a week pedaling his bike up and down the same streets, recording agents as they arrest his neighbors. On the scene, he lists rights for people getting arrested and asks if they’d like him to contact anyone..."

He worked at NASA. Now he tails federal law enforcement on D.C. streets.
A group that has tracked the activity of federal officers since the president’s crackdown has previously been private about the effort.

Just saw a screenshot from Threads of someone who posted that something in their gut feels that Ms. Rachel is performative. This combines my 2 favorite things about social media: people who use the word performative and random people who share how they feel about strangers in their guts.

sort of think this is true of more than just the kinds of smart person this person is referencing (he is right about them) — think about how often posters here get wound tight about overarching supervillain trumpworld conspiracies that turn out to be, no, actually they’re just all stupid as shit
Certain kinds of smart people tend to have a "sexy apocalypse" problem when it comes to thinking about risk. E.g. skynet turning everyone in paperclips, while bad, is also *kind of cool and fun* at the same time. Where the reality is that most actual disasters are both stupid and disappointing.

After we dropped our kid off at daycare this morning we stopped by the local coffee shop and two dads sitting next to me were talking about how they just did their first bike bus with their kids.

Becoming more and more common! This is how we win.
Lakeview (Chicago) now has ✨six✨ weekly bike buses to the K-8 schools, and had *at least* 100 kids bike to school today between the Burley and Nettelhorst Bike Buses (& prob 75-100 more adults with them). That’s pretty rad!

It took 10 fucking years but the American public writ large is finally realizing Trump is not being strictly truthful when he says he'll give you money

Someone working in nursing who was the first in their family to graduate from college is obviously part of the dreaded PMC.

"It used to be if you were on TV, you had to have charisma, or at least a good name. Names like Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Morrow. Now I turn on the TV and I don't know these names at all. Russ Douthat. I don't now how to spell it and I don't much care. . . "

Someone posted this but I've really come around to the fact that heavy political participation, especially in social media, actually takes you further and further away from politics in actuality.

Yea I’m gonna own it, I don’t let it get to me often but it is tonight.

We are on the verge of a historic wave. And it feels like some of the current we’re fighting is with folks we agree with 90% of the way.

It’s maddening there are folks that don’t take defeating MAGA & Trump more seriously.

…Like… on Sept. 11, 2001, people knew about climate change, but we'd solved the Ozone Layer & Y2K (even if we didn't talk nearly enough About solving them), so even while there was still this nascent, nebulous dread, there was also this sense of bright-electric-blue-and-chrome openness to so much.
Weird that *this* is me coining "stillborn millennium," as it wraps around an idea I've long discussed: that every piece of pre- & peri-millennial possibility, technological hope, or mythic future potentiality was inverted *Right* at its moment of highest vulnerability, & that we've never recovered.
But, again: we live on the other side of that tension & hoped-for hope— the aftermath of the stillborn millennium— w/ surveilant nightmares stranger than strange days' suffused through daily life, & every day it is clearer that those who warned about the collective cop mentality were right all along

Been a little surprised at how willing people are to forgive Hunter.

He's handsome and charismatic? Of course he is! He's an evil junkie who's never had to work for anything. You don't need to riff with him on your podcast.
I love journalism and journalists

What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.
