I reached out to a friend in Europe and asked his perspectives on what America is up to. "We're all looking on in dismay and bewilderment. Dismay at the reckless, utterly pointless damage that's being done, and bewilderment at how it's being allowed to happen." 1/2

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

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.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Buffett’s annual letter is out — and includes this message to “Uncle Sam” about the tax Berkshire will pay: “Spend it wisely. Take care of the many who, through no fault of their own, get the short straws in life. They deserve better.” 🇺🇸 www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/2024...

DOGE is getting a whole lot of headlines mainly because our brains aren't wired to make sense of millions, billions, or trillions of dollars. Lemme help: Math out the DOGE numbers and you'll discover that your DOGE dividend may buy you a coffee or two. The problem: There's just not that much waste.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
