Once you correctly recognize Trump's tariffs as a way to fund his intended upper-class tax cut with an immediate tax increase on poor and working Americans ... you can't see the tariffs any other way. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Congrats to Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval, who trounced Vance’s brother in the Cincinnati mayoral primary! Unfortunately we’ll have this same matchup in the November general election because Vance’s brother came in 2nd in the open primary with a paltry 13% of the votes to Aftab’s 82.5%

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.’
Democrats are struggling to match the massive “resistance” movement that sprang up in Trump’s first term — and battling cynicism among their own voters.

“Memory produces hope in the same way that amnesia produces despair.” The past equips us to face the future… Perhaps the astonishing changes of the past equip us to imagine that more lie ahead, and not to confuse the inability to imagine a future with the impossibility of having one.

15. Imagine we all had our own modest private domain, a decent home and the essential components for a decent life, but when we wanted to spread our wings, we could do so in ways that everyone can share, at far lower ecological cost. Public luxury means creating space for others, not taking it away.

10. Capitalism's promise is that we can all aspire to private luxury. Never mind that the system is built on some people exploiting others, who must remain poor if exploitation is to succeed. Never mind that there isn’t even physical space (let alone ecological space) for universal private luxury.
