A problem is that many people know that the vast majority of the people who voted for the fascist in chief in 2024 would vote for him again today. So folks know that many people are politically untrustworthy. It adds to the malaise.

Approaching midterms, can’t help but notice how exactly 20 years ago George Bush was extremely unpopular, and on the way to catastrophic midterm losses on the heels of burning down the last democratic presidents work. Being alive long enough to see the cycle come full circle is actually depressing

A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness. For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.

worth tying this into the political economy of the slave south as well. from roughly the 1820s onwards, slavery became enormously lucrative in ways that had never been seen before. slave traders became millionaires. large planters had tremendous purchasing power. just huge amounts of wealth.

The more I hear about Coyote v Acme, the less I believe that it was shitcanned for tax reasons. It super sounds like it was shitcanned for implying that private equity oligarchs can and should be held legally liable for the consequences of their actions.

And also worth knowing that the only way Federal programs are funded is through the Congressional budget process. Taxes don't fund Federal programs. Federal programs only need Congress to agree to a budget and the money is allocated by the Federal Reserve. Taxes pay for state and local programs.
