@paulisci.bsky.social Hello Paul! Any word on when your book will be released? I was a backer in 2023 through Unbound but haven't received any updates. And their site is now inactive.

I think coordination is a big hurdle. It's difficult enough to get smaller groups to do things together. How do you get enough people to participate in a general strike especially when the US is so large land mass wise?

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

If elected Republicans believe our mass shootings are a mental health issue, why are they defunding the VA that provides mental health services?

Well that’s interesting.

I'm still in disbelief that there is a segment of the population that thinks what Elon is doing is not only acceptable, but fantastic. It's truly horrifying.

Why Democrats Won’t Throw a Real Punch
Faced with existential threats from the right, the Democratic leadership remains timid; faced with demands for justice from the left, it goes on the attack.

Elected Republicans who are going along with Trump's illegal activities are either weak or complicit. Always call them out on either of these two things.

Strange. Disney+ is advertising "The Simpsons: The Past and the Furious" but it's nowhere to be found. It was released 2/12. Their tech support said it was pulled from the platform for some reason. No ETA for its return. #disney #simpsons

Just wanted you to know I really enjoy your podcast. I usually end my workday listening to it. It’s a nice counter balance to NPRs “Up First” which is how I start my day.

I enjoyed this comment I found online: The problem with talking with MANY, NOT All, Old school Dems is that they still want to use Robert's Rules while the game has moved to The Art of War.

@gilduran.com @george-lakoff.com How effective is the messaging “No one elected Elon”? I like the simplicity of it. But concerned because it repeats Elon’s name as well as reinforces “elected”.

I learned in junior high that the only way bullies stop is if they feel pain. Once that occurs, they turn tail and run.

Are These Dots Purple, Blue or Proof That Humans Will Never Be Happy?
Are these dots blue or purple? According to a new study, the answer is pretty depressing.

Listening to an audiobook I learned about an experiment. The author extrapolated that our brains are hardwired to look for threats and in the absence of them it starts assuming safe things are dangerous. Explains a lot about our current society as we are the safest we have ever been in history.

Summary of the executive orders FOTUS signed yesterday. The ones that cancel anything the US is doing to fight the #climatecrisis are the ones that worry me the most. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Trump signs the first executive orders of his new administration
The orders signed at the White House included a directive to end birthright citizenship, a move sure to spark a constitutional fight over the 14th Amendment.

Zuck just made several accounts follow the FOTUS’s Facebook page without notifying users. May want to unfollow that page. How scared is Zuck?

Zuck looks terrified. Lex Luther looks nonplused.

No governmental safety net means people are forced to turn to churches when needing help. Which in turn gives clergy more power.

I mean, as I learned about a local candidate in 2023, lying about yourself in mailers and signage isn’t a PDC violation. But you’d think there’d be some standard for making sure we aren’t sold a bill of goods.

Can someone explain to me why when someone is elected to a partisan office and then switches parties it doesn’t automatically trigger a special election? Wouldn’t this fall under false advertising?

Just call them lies. Why dress it up and make it sound fancy as “false narratives”?

The most disappointing thing about American Primeval is that it's not a sequel to the amazing BBC series.

"...crisis-level mental illness and drug use can be seen...as creatures of 21st century capitalism. Psychosis and addiction both feed on the alienation, isolation, and sense of meaninglessness that have followed the creeping marketization of every facet of social life. Poverty worsens both." 💯

I had to find a new therapist last year because my former one had to get a job with a large company in order to afford insurance and medical costs to cover her husband’s terminal illness. Very dismayed at America’s terrible health system. Claiming they prioritize mental health is all lip service.
