“see what the left gets wrong—“ stop right there and do the work of imagining a left that’s getting it right, and tell us about it if you cant do that than you’re not a leftist or on the left or helping the left

I cannot emphasize enough that drawing huge conclusions from markets that are gyrating through volatility as is currently the case may as well be reading auguries from the guts of some unfortunate chicken.

Good night, Bluesky friends ✨🌙

There is no explicit Constitutional prohibition against wrongfully deporting the father of a disabled child to a death camp in El Salvador. So it's hard to make sense of what the Supreme Court was trying to say today. by Jonathan Turley

Shout-out to Nocs Provisions, whose Group Sales program for educators and community orgs means that I could get binos for my students (And also LOOK AT THEM, they're really pretty??)

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

Constitutionally, impeachment is easier than overriding a veto. Just pointing that out.

“anything we can actually do, we can afford” stamp this on the head of anyone who asks how we can afford universal health care or universal child care or public pensions or free college

“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Defence Ministry Update: Border surveillance has not detected any abnormal activity. We stand rock-hop-ready to rock, set to defend ourselves against all threats both foreign and domestic (elephant seals mainly)

It's not manufacturing jobs you want, it's a stable job with a middle-class wage, retirement, affordable health insurance, and worker protections that you want. Which isn't naturally tied to factory jobs, but it is naturally tied to union organizing.

Kind of incredible how much Trumpism really is just a dumber version of Pat Buchanan’s shtick.

Who did this?

We had to get through Hoover to get to FDR. We had to get through Hoover to get to FDR. WE HAD TO GET THROUGH HOOVER TO GET TO FDR.

Excited to see how the unforced economic crash is worsened by the (spins wheel) peruvian iguana foot virus in (rolls dice) three months as a result of medical misinformation spread by (pulls lever) robert f kennedy jr’s elle magazine girlfriend at (guides ouija board) gayle king’s bastille day party

Stop panicking. I have a plan. We all go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.
