One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

The pace at which people are taking on new mutual aid projects is breakneck. I see a lot of signs of PTSD in a lot of my comrades. Be cognizant of your stress level. You are no good to anyone if you burn out midtask and dump your project on people who weren't prepared to do your work.

"A growing body of research suggests that minimum wages distort economies in ways that do not immediately appear in jobs numbers." Maybe The Economist should focus on how tech companies with inflated valuations distort economies instead of targeting low income folks.

New socks and some za. Simple man, really.

We didn't grow the lemons.

It’s still so strange to me Canadian resist accounts show up to yell at me about Americas fascism issue while claiming they do not have a massive issue at home. Fascism is swamping all western democracy’s using neoliberal candidates to crack the systems open for literal Nazis to fill the void.

After years of us enduring the most entitled honey baked hogs waltzing around in the crudest most vulgar maga attire, this washed up MTV prick now wants you to dress up in order to wait 6 hours in the security line before boarding a plane where the door will fall off mid flight. Fuck off bitch

A waterbath will keep your cheesecake from cracking like mine did. Bain-marie is what it is called.

I made three cheesecakes and a batch of gluten and dairy free Wild Blueberry and Lemon Zest Mini muffins/cake today.

outstanding opening paragraph too

Just watched the whole Nurse Jackie series again and man what an ending. Gets me every time.

Every state that has Geo Group operating as ICE have done stories of the abuse and sexual assaults by Geo Group except Oregon. Portland ICE cells and chains are run by Geo Group. Break the silence on abuse in ICE cells in Oregon.

Florida just became the 1st state to implement the Phoenix Declaration, a curriculum written by the Heritage Foundation, not Florida teachers. Our kids need resources, not ideology. Our classrooms deserve honesty, not politics. FL-21 deserves better.

The guy who robbed to my house got elected to the president of the home owners association. He has vowed to release the surveillance video after pressure from people aligned with him. He just needs some time alone with the files. I'm sure it's fine.

Guardian: Border Patrol goon Charles Exum shot Chicago resident Marimar Martinez 7 times, had her arrested for allegedly “boxing in” his vehicle, and bragged about shooting her in texts to friends and family. Today DOJ dropped all charges against her, but Exum remains free to shoot more innocents.

COP 30 has been lit🔥🔥🔥

First Democratic member of the Senate to attack Greenblatt in public?

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

observing in real time as an occupation declines in prestige and labor power solely because of its gender and racial make-up ie as a profession gets less male and white, and more female and black, it loses status and has its labor devalued

normal things happening

Sheraden. Fadette Street. Caller said he hit the blunt so hard that he passed out and woke up a few minutes later. Caller said that he was not expecting that.

Downtown. Fifth Ave. Caller says a naked man appears to be greeting and waving at passing people and cars. Caller says that this guy has done this before.

South Side. Hot Metal Street Bridge. There is a protest shutting down the Hot Metal Street Bridge. They are also on South Water Street.

I presume his detention was determined by the same opaque, unaccountable process that banned Kneecap from entering Canada.

Today in There Are No Rules Any More

Trump re-pardons a Jan. 6 defendant to erase unrelated gun conviction

We found that a company with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly got money from DHS contracts. “It’s corrupt, is the word,” a contract law expert said. “Hiding your friends as subcontractors is like playing hide the salami with the taxpayer.”

Not for nothing, all my Chicago group chats are asking how to help Charlotte.

everyone who worked the "illiberal campus left" beat got exactly what they wanted

Can you imagine paying ever increasing rates to keep your dead family member "with you," only for them to suddenly vanish when the AI industry collapses? Sounds pretty traumatizing if you're the kind of person who isn't traumatized by the notion of the product itself.

"Chris Buskirk put tech elites at the center of power in Trump’s Washington. His efforts are grounded in a controversial theory: An “aristocracy” is needed to move the country forward." By Elizabeth Dwoskin www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

Yes, your honor, we received and sold stolen goods, but if there was no market for such we wouldn't have done so. Our customers are to blame. We live in a golden age of shamelessness and grift.

We are the only people that can liberate ourselves. That's all. Noone else.

TODAY - WEST LOS ANGELES ICE is patrolling from the ocean to La Brea & W Jefferson Blvd to National Blvd. Beginning at 9:45 am, there have been multiple reports of known ICE vehicles circling in order to conduct rolling kidnappings. So far, ICE has detained at least 7 people.

The wind is blowing my tiny house around. Not a great feeling.

Hi I'm a long time fellow poster, I also happen to have been a teacher born/raised in the DFW area. Just moved to NYC to get away from... That. It is not at all hyperbolic to say that society has all but entirely collapsed in Tx. Do not move there. Genuinely catastrophic.
