Labor's share of income just hit an all-time low. That means for every dollar a company brings in, workers are taking home smaller and smaller slices. Income keeps shifting to the owners. With @svaneksmith .bsky.social newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Somehow Democrats have to figure out how to detoxify their brand in Red America. Too many will vote for the most heinous characters because “anything is better than a Democrat.”

Seems like Trump congratulating the AfD and bleating “MGGA!” should be a bigger story. www.politico.eu/article/dona...

I think what’s needed to break Trump’s power is pretty simple: 1. GOP elected officials have to pay a price at the ballot box. 2. Corporations/individuals making gobs of money because of his policies have to lose gobs of money because of his policies.

Took a 3rd Reich tour in Munich today. After the failed beer hall putsch in 1923, Hitler and others were imprisoned. When Nazis came to power, the putsch perps were rebranded as the true patriots and those who failed to salute their memorial were sent to Dachau. Food for thought.

I’m rereading The Return of the King and it’s amazing how much The Scouring of the Shire resembles the second Trump administration.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

“Elections have consequences.” How often have we heard this cliche? I am haunted by the fact that, had the 2024 election turned out differently, Renee Good and Alex Pretti would be going about their lives, blissfully unaware of the fate they escaped.

Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. — W.H. Auden, Sept. 1, 1939

The entire Trump era is an exercise in proving the truth of the Fiddler On The Roof line “When you’re rich they think you really know.”

This administration is an extreme overreaction to three things: MeToo to proud misogyny George Floyd/DEI to scrubbing Tuskegee Airmen COVID restrictions to discounting medical science

Dems should ask themselves WWRD—what would Republicans do if the situation were reversed. They would use every bit of their power while they had it. Dems should do the same.
