So pleased these stamps, photographed by my friend Walt Seng, are being reissued on June 1. He passed away at the age of 80 in 2023. We were fortunate to have him as our official entertainment photogragrapher - he was the best! about.usps.com/newsroom/nat...

1. This short thread is about the issue that dominates almost every aspect of politics, and causes or exacerbates most of our problems: the extreme wealth of a small number of people. Here’s the amazing thing: almost the entire political class aligns with the ultra-rich against the rest. 🧵1/10

As soon as possible after ousting them, every single transgression (especially ones that used to be "norms") by this administration – and in particular – this president, needs to be explicitly written into the US code.

In last week there's been a shift in GOP messaging to argue that this is all about illegal immigrants or gender transition surgeries, but no Democratic leader has demanded such funding. They've demanded *a negotiation* to protect health care benefits, not any one way to do it.

Of the three presidential campaigns against Trump, two (2016 and 2024) made elaborate appeals to centrists at the expense of their relationship with progressives, and only one (2020) prioritized efforts to bridge the gap with progressives, however impermanently. The latter approach won.

The way you "stop Republicans" is to beat them in elections by having party leaders adopt more moderate stances on key issues and take a big tent approach to candidate recruitment. That Republicans do bad things when they win is the reason why progressives should embrace this.

Do you use a credit card? Rent or own a home? Use utilities like water and electricity? Send your kids to school? Have a job? Eat? Drink? Deposit money in a bank, or withdraw it? The government provides services and safeguards that enable us to do ALL of this safely. Now Musk is taking it all away.

I think threats are preventing both Dem and whatever sensible R lawmakers are left from fighting back. Also, the threats are definitely suppressing the press.

not the only thing but prob can't be understated how much 2020-2021 pissed off these guys. remote work, a substantial, popular racial justice movement that led to ppl talking about/bringing politics to work. employees having just a hint of a sliver of market power. feels like retribution for that.

Now, it's less about the awful things we already know, and more about the cowardly, cynical people who continue to provide cover and excuses, or refuse to take a stance.
