A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

I refuse to use ridiculous term “f**e news” because News is News, and everything else is just lies and misinformation. THE END.

I don’t watch cable news anymore and I feel MORE informed than I did before. It’s a good reminder that cable news exists to sell ads, which is why it reduces news to reality TV, creating content aimed at the lowest common denominator.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

I feel like the important context for RFK, Jr.’s brain worm has been lost: He claimed a worm ate his brain while in divorce court in order to prove that he was too MENTALLY DISABLED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. Trump wants to make this man the head of the largest health organization in the United States.

He claims WiFi causes leaky WHAT! Lordy just like with the 5G loonies. If anyone ever paid attention in school they’d recall that correlation doesn’t imply causation

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.

Does anyone else leave the To line empty in long emails until you're ready to actually send, so that you don't send it early by accident?

Was there today for the H.R. 9495 vote (bill that would have allowed labeling nonprofits as terrorist supporting organizations). Voted no, of course - but I do want to report that the activism DID work and persuaded members. I thought it’d be a lonely NO vote, which we take often. It wasn’t.

I think the only thing I’m annoyed about is that this is all very real and not scripted comedy, because if it was scripted comedy it would be incredibly elite.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
