Working people don't get seven-week paid vacations. Mike Johnson just gave Congress one. $174,000 salary. Plus health insurance. Plus a lifetime pension. Paid to do NOTHING. Paid to dodge votes. Your work funds their time off.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Congress has tried permanent daylight saving time before. A law adopted during the 1970s energy crisis created a year-round system beginning in January 1974, but lawmakers reverted after public opposition, much of it centered on dark winter mornings.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

The only thing I'd add to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social's fine work this morning is that the establishment Dems have an ideological blind spot around organizing. They overindex on capital-intensive forms of mobilization and are completely lost when it comes to labor-intensive forms of mobilization.

Canada's boreal forest is roughly the size of Europe (or 4.5x the size of Texas). Most fires are in remote areas far from habitation in that have never had a history of fire suppression or management. And the amount that is burning is directly linked to temperature and rainfall.
