Sometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. —Toni Morrison From the epigraph of Barbara Kingsolver new book. Can’t wait to more! What an amazing contribution to the world she’s made. Though actually I disagree: however you survive is whole

And so it continues... Our economic debates seem utterly disconnected from the reality. That reality: This is an economy mostly creating healthcare jobs, and it does so month after month, and everything else is just noise.

Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" showing change in non-farm payrolls since January 2025 through September 2026. Healthcare and social assistance added 998,000 jobs with consistent growth throughout the period, while the rest of the economy lost 222,000 jobs, meaning all net job creation came from healthcare. The rest of the economy showed particular weakness from May through August 2025 when losses reached 218,000 jobs. This striking divergence reveals an unusual concentration where one sector's growth of roughly 48,000 jobs per month has offset persistent contraction across all other industries combined.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

THE times are disgusting enough, surely, for those who long for peace and truth. But self-disgust also is an injury: the coming of bodily uncertainty with age and wear, forgetfulness of things that ought to be remembered, remembrance of things best forgot.
Forgive this fragmentary life.

Eleanor Roosevelt had thoughts on being a leftist, also known as being a liberal. Given that President & Mrs. Roosevelt led the USA🇺🇸 out of the Great Depression, led the USA🇺🇸 fight against Nazis and fascists and defeated them to end World War 2, & founded the United Nations🇺🇳. She lived this wisdom:

“Long ago, there was a noble word, liberal, which derive from the word free. Now a strange thing happened to that word. A man named Hitler made it a term of abuse, a matter of suspicion because those who were not with him were against him, and liberals had no use for Hitler. And then another man named McCarthy CAST the same program on the word. We must cherish and honor…the word free, or it will cease to apply to us” a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt
