Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

The leaders met at the European Council headquarters in Brussels. No phones or cameras, and everyone came alone. The forces there – or at least the French and Danish ones – were prepared for a hot war with the U.S. Around the five-hour mark of the meeting, Macron addressed his counterparts:
“We are drawing a line here,” began Emmanuel Macron, president of France, according to several leaders present and their most senior aides. For a year, America’s closest allies had tried to placate Trump with a mix of flattery and concessions on mutual-defense and trade issues, hoping to buy time. Now, French soldiers were in Greenland, alongside Danish special forces equipped for a shooting war with America. The French president repeated an argument he’d been pressing for years, with mounting urgency: that Europe’s overreliance on America was a security risk. “There is no going back,” he said.

My husband and I found a labyrinth at Ghost Ranch, where Georgia O'Keeffe painted. We ran out of time to walk it. She took up pottery when her eyesight failed, feeling the artwork instead of seeing it. A finger labyrinth offers that same meditative space, traced with one hand, eyes open or closed.

Most Americans can't see any benefit they'll get from AI data centers but can see AI data centers are very important to the banks and billionaires who constantly fuck them over. And who are also constantly saying "we're building data centers to fuck you over." Hardly a surprise they're hated!

I assumed the word "million" was accidentally dropped after the subbed note that he was fined "$200" for this but, no, the fine was two hundred dollars. For late disclosures on tens of millions of dollars. A fine of Two. Hundred. Dollars.

Trump is negotiating to settle his lawsuit against his own IRS, and one of the remedies being floated (along with almost 2 billion dollars) is the IRS dropping all audits of Trump, his family, and his businesses. Just absolutely staggering corruption.
