This from Abbas Alawieh, on Jake Lang and connecting him to Mike Roger's and the Trump, is incredibly powerful, and not that hard for any self identifying Democrat.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

The best measure of how America is doing isn’t the unemployment rate, or the stock market, or the rate of economic growth, or the inflation rate, or the average wage. It’s how well most Americans are living. And the reality is that most Americans are struggling.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

He epitomises the parasitic nature of turbocharged capitalism. Index funds literally work like a turbo charger in this case, forcing value generated by people who can’t afford it to be invested in his company that doesn’t generate any real value.

The desperate campaign to push AI down our throats is just what Nestlé did with baby formula, or Monsanto with patended seeds. Manufactured Intermediation—inserting a corporate tollbooth into a process that used to be self-sustaining, using a low initial barrier to entry to destroy the alternative.

Octavia E. Butler said, “Never let pride or laziness prevent you from learning, improving your work, changing its direction when necessary. Persistence is essential to any writer—the persistence to finish your work, to keep writing in spite of rejection, to keep reading, writing, submitting work.”

People will die in the US from the war in Iran from not feeding themselves or paying for medicine because of gas prices. Check on your rural neighbors and bring them grocery gift cards and offer to carpool to the grocery with them.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

I hope seeing Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive will convince some of you to stop preemptively declaring people dead. I know it comes from a place of fear, but cynicism and pessimism can demobilize people and lead folks to give up before a fight is lost. Let's not seed that attitude.
