btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

I think humanitarian aid as an extension of soft imperial power is good and "have free elections and we'll cure your tuberculosis" is the best game in town.

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Look I know rich people who live in NYC hate congestion pricing, but I'm pretty sure "class" isn't a protected category in US law. Otherwise practically every government fee in existence would be a prima facie constitutional violation

I don't blame you if you're not following the "no tax on tips" bill closely but the current text is a federal income tax deduction for the first 25k of tipped income, which it goes without saying is a far cry from the "you keep 100% of your tips" campaign rhetoric, lmao

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

The thing that lives rent free in my head the most is how, on election day this past November, "Did Biden drop out" was one of the most-googled searches. So many people are narrowly focused on their day to day lives. Faine's right: we can reach them. We can show them how this impacts /them/.
