Boss made a dollar, Grandad made a dime. But that was a poem From a simpler time. Boss made a thousand, Gave my Dad a cent. But that coin paid the mortgage, Or at least it paid the rent. Now bosses make a billion, And give us workers jack. Then smugly blame society, For the labor that they lack.

Here's hoping this ends in just an unhinged, grifty John Barron, Adrian Dittman podcast and not with Alito writing a sockpuppet exception to the twenty-second amendment.

I've been using it for a while, and I heartily recommend @brianfit.bsky.social's Woke = Respect browser extension. I particularly enjoy the way the extension's effects surface even outside the Chrome browser proper. tinyurl.com/49khbys8

This Nancy Mace thing is going to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party. Mace is deliberately bullying another person, one of their colleagues. And if House Dems are too chickenshit to defend their own colleague over this open, blatant hate, what the hell is the point of them anymore.
