Everyone needs to read Piketty. Either we tax the wealthy or borrow from the wealthy. It's just a political choice. If increases in income from capital exceed increases in the GDP, then society is getting more unequal.

After federal agents shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a New Yorker sent ICE's director an email in January comparing him to a Nazi. This week, DHS agents stalked him across New York. His home. A hotel. They gave his wife a letter warning of criminal prosecution. www.syracuse.com/news/2026/06...

“You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America’s Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher.

“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

“You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Whitehouse: "If you look at all the Court's elections decisions, every one has the effect of helping the GOP. If you look at all their regulatory decisions, every one has the effect of helping the fossil fuel industry that funds the GOP. You can predict with perfect certainty what happens."

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Violence is never an ethical response to "rhetoric," and if you're talking about the state it is patently illegal and unconstitutional. If violence was indeed "foreseeable" to the DHS as a result of mere rhetoric, the government is patently negligent in not preventing that foreseeable violence.

The Constitution is not a suicide or death pact. The Second Amendment preserves well regulated militias, which provided for the common defense and law enforcement back when we neither had a standing army nor organized police. The NRA nonsense that was embraced by Scalia is Russia destabilizing us.

I'll never get over the fact that SCOTUS just straight up nullified the Voting Rights Act. Decided it didn't like the law anymore so it overturned it as no longer having a minimal rational basis because, you know, racial animus in voting rights no longer happens.

Nothing will ever get cheaper in an absolute sense. A coke will never be 50 cents again. But you can pay labor more. You can make the income from labor much more valuable relative to capital by taxing income from capital adequately. Everyone should read Piketty. Everyone.

Note that Jeffrey Epstein said this about the current POTUS, the guy currently in the highest office in our nation: ""Recall ive told you,, -- i have met some very bad people ,, none as bad as trump. not one decent cell in his body.. so yes- dangerous." What does this say about our values & culture?
