I don’t know if I’ve said this on here before, but I think the best thing happening in the world right now is that the mayor of New York City is Muslim and the Pope is American.

Here’s a piece I thought about this morning: Our Flag. Ed Ruscha, 2017. A 2026 version and nothing would be left standing but the flagpole. Then I remembered I saw it in 2023 @moma.bsky.social.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Money out of politics, in people’s pocket books. Wages, wages, wages. Raises, raises, raises. Fund it all by taxing the rich. People won’t survive if we don’t.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The Senate actually does something good for affordability under the most preposterous of circumstances and the scammer billionaire president who blew up the deficit blocks it. If you want a livable, unrigged economy that keeps the essentials affordable, vote Democrat for the rest of your life.

Corporation: We made $5 billion but spent $4.9 billion to keep going, so our net taxable income is $100 million. Gov’t: That’s right. Worker: I made $50,000 but spent $45,000 to keep going, so my net taxable income is $5,000. Gov’t: That’s wrong.

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system. We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump. We cannot accept the status quo of Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

I was a closeted teen in 2011 when Wahls spoke to the Iowa legislature about his moms, advocating against a ban on same-sex marriage, which the state’s courts legalized in 2009. It gave me hope then. I think now more than ever we need leaders who found their way into office by defending gay rights.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

There is no justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth at the very top. It’s distorting our politics, rigging our markets and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

The trees on Capitol Avenue (once Rifle Avenue) in Hartford, CT are blossoming! 🌸
A bright spring view down Capitol Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. White-blossomed trees line the sidewalk beneath a vivid blue sky, their branches filling much of the frame. Parked cars and traffic stretch toward the golden dome of the Connecticut State Capitol visible in the distance at the end of the street.
