The most fantastical part of the new Captain America movie was when the president admitted to his crimes, stepped down from office, and served his prison sentence

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

In many ways it's fitting that the showdown between monarchy and democracy ends up being over NYC congestion pricing. Cities are where the power of kings were first challenged, and few things are more fundamental to government than control of public space. The cameras are staying on!

It’s pretty common (and good) investing advice to favor index funds over individual stocks/ managed funds bc the former usually beats the other 2. If your individual stock portfolio regularly beats indices you cooooould be a super genius, but more likely you have more information than everyone else

It’s crazy how many of these are the wealthiest and most powerful people in human history, yet they’re obsessed with punching down on minorities and tearing down protections to enrich themselves further

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Impact of housing boom in New Roc, where thousands of apartments were added. “from 2017 to 2021, New Rochelle added housing at more than double the rate of the U.S. and saw rents rise just 7% from 2017 to 2023—at a time when rents rose 31% in the U.S. as a whole.” www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-...

Governor Andy Beshear, in a Trump +30 state, gives advice to Democrats: Do not throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus, it will not work. His advice to dems: Lead on your values. This man ran on a fully inclusive campaign in 2023 and won. He received the same kind of ads Harris did.
