I wrote about how Trump is treating presidential power like it's his own possession and using it to punish blue states — but also about how at least he's promised lots of cash for all of us. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Stock buybacks used to be illegal. Since Reagan, they have been a major vehicle for the upward redistribution of wealth from the workers to the shareholders. A travesty.

Fix your hearts or die? Sure. But also: Fix your hearts and live. Fixing involves doing the work, not having work done for you. People can build the path of liberation from patriarchy, but they can't walk it for you. So, walk the path. Do the work. Be a *man.* www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

Fix Your Hearts or Die
It's a invitation, not a threat. The path to liberation for lonely men is feminism.
