But I feel like if you listen to rap, especially from the young black rappers, it would be silly to think that the hedonism and bragging about money is a moral failure. It’s a deep understanding of American reality and what it means to be a have not. It’s proof of life.

It’s crazy that the new NYC subway cars only have 30 seats and the old ones have 80 and we are in any way supposed to consider this an improvement. Me must return…

The disparity has grown even further. New federal data shows that the United States now has:
• 41,550 journalists
• 280,590 public relations specialists
For every reporter, there are now about seven PR people.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in a court affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from Washington. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late.

My hometown, Imperial Beach, has lived up to its name insofar as it has become a metaphor for the folly of border policy. newrepublic.com/article/1842…

The headline makes this story sound like some sort of joke. It’s not. Instead, @rowanmg has taken an exhausting—and fairly frightening—look at an environmental crisis playing out across the U.S.-Mexico border, leaving countless Californians sick. The situation is also “a reminder that both sides of the border constitute a single place.” @newrepublic

This is a _great_ piece that does a great job of detailing the historical failures that have led to the current sorry state of affairs, and some (hopeful) progress being made... I heard IBWC has 3/5 sediment tanks back online, with an aim to all 5 operating by end of Sept, 🫰
