Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

“I’m over 80,” she said. “They’re talking about five to six years rebuilding. I think it’s not a good time that I can rebuild and spend another five or six years with all the problems.” Heartbreaking on so many levels. Aging in our new climate normal is no joke.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Glad @snopes did this but maybe we should stop making memes about what a 4 year old said in the Oval Office & focus on how he should not be on display like a “cute prop” (that is what Musk apparently joked he was).

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology. It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy. Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵

At the heart of many of the U.S.’s problems is lack of mobility: In the 19th century 1 in 3 people moved each year. Today 1 in 13 do so. Our reduced mobility flows from our profound failure over the past 50 years to build new homes in areas of economic opportunity. It’s strangling us as a nation.🧵
