We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

It's funny to talk about a "bigger pie" when you want to emphasize that growth is more important than distribution. Imagine an actual pie with wildly different sized slices. No one would like that.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

The right doesn't just pressure the system. They take it over. They don't just inspire. They build. They build institutions, candidate pipelines, think tanks, mechanisms that ensure power flows toward them, no matter who wins elections. The left holds rallies. open.substack.com/pub/americas...

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Fun fact: Florida's orange harvest is now only 8% of what it was 20 years of global warming ago. Increasing hurricane activity and more hospitable environment for disease and pests, has already destroyed the Florida orange industry. citrusindustry.net/2024/05/07/f...
