My grocery store sells through their egg allotment by 10 am every day and the cost of a dozen white large eggs has risen from $3.49 to $4.99. Where are all the people who said they voted for Trump over egg prices (not facism) and all the journalists who wrote those stories with a straight face?

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I don't know what to tell higher education. You can't both be "committed to democracy and intellectual freedom" and bending to the whims of authoritarians to "preemptively avoid fall out." At that point, you're just selling a mission you have no intention or capability of delivering on.

I have no issue with a sitting president attending an event with the American people. However, if your mantra is extreme efficiency and cutting waste—while labeling things like cancer research and veterans’ benefits as waste—you have no business participating in events like this.

This helps you understand why at Bolts we created a resource called "Who Runs Our Elections," which shows you the local & state offices that are responsible for all this in each & every state: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the... It is bafflingly decentralized... but you don't have to be baffled anymore!

I live in MAGA country. When I talk about what Musk is doing to the federal programs he is stripping of funding and employees, I get the same response: “He’s just pausing programs to find waste. No one will lose their job or grant or subsidy.” FAFO.

We’ve seen personal testimonials now from many of the DOGErs. The common thread is far-right/Yarvinite/fascistic political views/origin stories. It’s worth asking how/why you’d continue to attempt something at this scale with such a reliance on what literally seems to be one or at most ..

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into global pariah - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit, unraveling US public health system - putting backdoors into Treasury This feels more like an attack on the US than a new government.

77% of the American people want to cap credit card interest rates. It is about time that we listened to them. Congress must provide financial relief to working families struggling to pay for the high price of groceries, rent, gasoline, and prescription drugs.

IMO, people don't fully appreciate the extent to which financial 'markets' depend on trust in the stability of the state. The State can be understood as capital's backbone. This contextualizes attacks on regs that prevent bank runs, reduce predatory lending, or even attacks on treasury bonds.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
