Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

Host: You could call and get Abrego Garcia back. Trump: I could Host: But the Supreme Court has ordered you to facilitate his release. Trump: I'm not the one making this decision Host: You're the president!

They call it the "new model" because their version of the American Dream is just a caste system with zero retirement benefits or upward mobility for you or your children.

Guys, fascism is not a trick to make rich people richer. Radical reactionary populism is a real thing. People REALLY DO get self-destructively radicalized around social resentments, punishing marginalized groups for the psychic reward of seeing them suffer and feeling dominant.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

As David Graeber said (paraphrased) & Birmingham proves: if nurses, mechanics, garbage collectors vanish, the effects will be catastrophic; without teachers, dock-workers, science-fiction writers we'd be lessened; without private equity CEOs, lobbyists, telemarketers & bailiffs things would improve.

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.
