It’s really fucked up we told generations of kids they had to take out personal loans in order to improve their lives as we cut funding to schools and when that turned out to be bullshit the general consensus has been “fuck those kids”

This has been a long game the billionaires have been playing. FDR warned of those “few men who would clip the eagle’s wings to feather their own nest” was a pointed statement at the oligarchy of that era, and its push to undo anything beneficial We the People have enjoyed.

I guess it’s just a coincidence that Elon Musk comes out of the woodwork before every major election and gets handed a government position with major consequences for the American people. 🤔

John Roberts has spent his entire career trying to kill the Voting Rights Act. Now his Republican-appointed majority is dusting off arguments once used to destroy Reconstruction to roll back the gains made during the civil rights era.

Jim Crow was on the ash heap of history. Then came the Roberts court.
The disaster the justices have unleashed has its roots in one of the darkest periods of our past.

This could be part of the plan. Remember a MAGAt bought Dominion? AI monkeying? Anything else that could turn the results? Trump has never had to take responsibility for his whole life of fuck ups. We have never countered the fascism as it needs to be countered. They assume we will stay placid.

Like the anti-woke backlash of which it's part, the whole "campuses as hotbeds of left-wing radicalism" discourse willfully confuses the noise for the signal. Most people go for a job credential and leave deeply socialized into the protocols of power, of which violence against women is central.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

this is the bill that would give Trump authority to tariff basically any country he wants. it passed the senate with bipartisan support. ostensibly a Russia sanctions bill, but the sanctions provisions have no teeth and the new tariff authorities are enormous. www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-vot...

The United States has never been weaker than it is right now under Trump and his cabinet of corrupt, inept, unqualified loyalists. Every institution hollowed out. Every alliance strained. Every adversary watching. We are ripe for another 9/11, and this time the scale could dwarf it.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.
