and the truth is, it doesn't matter that much, short term BLS data has significant margin of error, which is why large revisions happen often.

like stock market earnings, reacting to short term data isn't a smart way to run an economy in the long term.

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

this is why I struggle to empathize with residents who say developing light rail on this corridor would bring too much disruption. these pictures don't seem like that long ago to me and it's been an incredibly positive evolution for our city. now imagine a rail connection to five points from here!

comic:

when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns.

if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind.

if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind.

I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
"We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Busted sidewalk

Busted sidewalk

I'm navigating a busted sidewalk tonight while watching cars sail by on smooth asphalt, fresh from a recent resurfacing.

Maintaining car lanes while allowing sidewalks to crumble is a choice. It's not inevitable, and the city can make better choices.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.

And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Imagine working a 36 hour shift to deliver a chatbot that says Elon Musk is fitter than LeBron and can swim better than Michael Phelps then jumping online to brag about it.

So when Zohran isn't able to give you all unlimited perfect tomatoes, maybe learn that the key is the fact that you all haven't put in the work preparing the soil instead of blaming your lawn and a plastic pot from the garden center. All that does is discourage others from digging the garden.

Learning about straw man arguments is a great place to start learning about logical fallacies.

While there are many reasons people use logical fallacies, you're probably familiar with them being used to attack you or deflect from a point you're making.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
