Let's get that same kind of effort galvanized behind Black women who lost their jobs this year! NOTE: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. white men gained 365,000

Why would Democrats agree to any budget deal when all of it can be overturned by executive fiat?

I don’t think any country in the history of the world has ever done anything as stupidly self destructive as what Trump and RFK jr are doing with vaccines.

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs. The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

5/ No, it was this man. His name is David Seligman. And he’s the single most important antitrust enforcer you’ve never heard of. David stands up for regular people before others notice. And he’s running to be Colorado’s next attorney general.

Who controls the upstream flow, controls their downstream neighbors. It's hard enough to do it between local governments in the same country, imagine nations. See the Colorado River Compact for reference.

Here’s my write up on the most racist decision to come out of the Supreme Court in a while. The court approved of Trump’s racial profiling of Latinos with Brett Kavanaugh saying being harassed based on the color of your skin is “common sense.” My latest in @thenation

did you know universal healthcare is cheaper and gets better results than what we’re doing now?

"We will spend approximately $100 million on new letterhead and websites because Pete Hegseth is worried everybody knows his dick is quite small. Other than that, we will continue to increase our incompetence, fail our veterans, and flush morale down the crapper."

Oof. This captures what I felt that the white supremacists are trying to make happen, but I'd not yet reached that correct dark vision.

I'm proud to pay my taxes so that we fund education, Medicaid, Medicare, social security, research, building projects, and all the big things government does for all of us. Paying for ego driven vanity projects is why government should NOT be run like a business.

AI is a mediocrity machine.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks www.axios.com/2025/08/26/a...

I commented on this recently in one of my ill-advised Lives. I’ve edited here (poorly, I don’t have these skills) but here’s the gist - why capital finds it particularly galling.

“Dearest Agnes: We wander the wilderness by dark. People are playing chess and walking their dogs, and every night I worry I shall not return to you. But I must spare my phone battery now for there are no outlets here. Yours &c,”

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

"...There is no future, only the past happening over and over."

300,000 Black women have been pushed out of their employment in the last three months. This resegregation isn't just racial, it's also heavily gendered.

"In six months, the Trump administration made that debate irrelevant. It has taken two-and-a-half centuries of tradition, caution, and fear of standing armies and simply discarded it. We are now in territory so uncharted that the" radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-police...

Trump, like every autocrat, wants his own personal army. Anything thinking the hugely expanded ICE will only be used for immigration is delusional. As always, he will go as far as he is allowed to go.

let's take stock here: (Democratic) Presidents, via the Dept of Education, can't cancel student debt because statutes don't clearly authorize it. Republican Presidents can cancel/shut down the Dept of Education because, even though only Congress can shut down departments ..., ... 🤷‍♀️ YOLO?

I think there are things Suzuki says in this interview that are correct, but I have some serious issues with the conclusions. First, the comments about it being “too late.” To be clear, that is a political rather than a scientific calculus on Suzuki’s part. I also think it is incorrect.

Let's leapfrog to a better solution.

They could not be any clearer about what they mean when they say DEI

We know too well the devastating consequences of such action—families torn apart, livelihoods destroyed, and multigenerational trauma inflicted on a community for decades. #AlligatorAlcatraz #NeverAgainIsNow

Such a lovely and wide ranging conversation that also has a clear thematic through line. Brilliant. Thanks to both of you.

I haven't had coffee yet and the first thing I hear upon arriving at Imaginales today is James Morrow saying "We are at an ironic moment in history when if we want capitalism to survive, we must become socialists; and if we want democracy to survive, we must become socialists or democracy est fini."

This bespoke exception for the Fed is one of the most brazenly made-up things I've ever seen the Supreme Court do (which is saying something). There is no principled basis to distinguish the Fed from other independent agencies. The conservative justices just don't want Trump to crash the market!

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

It's the shift from a regular capitalism to financial capitalism. Now, ultra-wealthy people can make more money by moving money around (crypto, stocks, trade deals, etc.) than by making things that people buy. So, their primary concern is keeping financial markets deregulated and keeping taxes low.

So the Republican Congress can pass a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, but can't seem to find the time to stop Trump's erosion of checks and balances or tackle rising housing and grocery costs? Their priorities couldn’t be more clear.

CBS: Trump's family net worth has increased $2.9 billion in the last 6 months… But, your family gets 2 dolls and 5 pencils. Enjoy. 😎✨

We need to work on getting the money "saved" by replacing humans to fund universal healthcare and universal basic income. Imagine the art, creativity, and competition we could unleash with such freedom.

He has learned that it is very easy to do insider trading from the White House and nobody is going to stop him.

I think this is correct, with one crucial alteration: I would substitute *we* with *the ruling class*. to me at least, it has become rather clear who and what "AI"—as it is currently constituted and understood—is for
