Everything costs more while wages stall, because a few hoard housing, land, and essential goods. The fix: tax asset hoarding, not work. Rein in rent-gouging. Break up monopolies. Demand it. www.survivorsguidetoearth.com/demand?issue...

Ezra, will you please come out and explain why you’re on the list of Peter Thiele’s Dialog Club? The fact you haven’t spoken up about this makes you look more guilty than you might be. Did you go once and then realize what it was? Or are you a regular member?

In Nazi Germany, people mocked Reich officials for being unpopular, incompetent, sweaty losers. These so-called “whisper jokes” proliferated as a way to express discontent.

The power of mocking Trump’s pathetic monsters
It's impossible to ignore the administration's blend of violent repression and overwhelming cringe.

“You can’t physically move. You can’t do anything.” The failure of even some of the best-resourced cities to adequately clear snow so that disabled people with mobility devices can safely get around is both an infrastructure failure and a policy choice.

Hudson Valley residents braved freezing temperatures to protest a proposed ICE facility last Thursday. "They better lawyer up," Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY) said at the rally, referring to ICE and the Trump admin at large. "Because when we flip the House in less than a year, there will be accountability."

"Being here, in solidarity, is part of the repair work in my own soul," said Rev. Rob Schenck, an Evangelical minister who spent decades advancing Christian nationalist causes, as he marched against ICE in Minneapolis. "This is redemption."

For many in the Trump regime it seems incomprehensible or a scam of sorts that those not categorically under attack by ICE are so committed to solidarity with their neighbors who are, and thereby to universal human rights, to standing up on principle, and will risk their lives to do so.....

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Why do media companies print obvious lies from the propagandists in the Trump admin as if that is the “other side” of the story when you have objective, irrefutable evidence to disprove it? Traditional norms/practices don’t work with this regime. Why do you spread their lies?

It’s been one month since 100% of the Epstein files were due by Act of Congress. Thus far they’ve only released .6% of them and are using murder and war to distract you from this fact.
