Prof. @pkrugman.bsky.social and historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social joined forces today by launching "Lunch Money,” a new monthly conversation series about how money shapes our politics www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6vc...
Dumbest timeline ever.

I’ve wondered about this. I’ve also wondered how the Venezuelan oil $$ going into Trump’s “special account” is doing with the Middle East oil not making it to market.
Johnson is an absolute dipshit. I’m still pissed that we have this chucklefuck instead of Russ Feingold.
This video speaks to what most women know to be true.
“All men”….
It’s a system built specifically for them.

I appreciate how this is framed and explained. I know it was regarding women’s history , but it’s also relevant to racism. It gave me food for thought as a white woman.
💯
Not “all men”. Not “all white people”. Not “all -insert group”
These people gain power from our silence, fear, learned helplessness, complacency, hopelessness, habit.
They are sure of it, depend on it
Fighting them is scary. Some can. Start with encouraging yourself and others to speak up.
Random musing: Do other people say, “Pot kettle”? It’s so much more succinct.
Every single one of them was precious. The evil of this US regime knows no bounds.
Thank you
NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.
Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.
That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.
He’s certainly a threat to coherent speech. What an asshat.
Speaking of Dubya, I wonder what he’s up to these days. It’s mind boggling that at the time, I was so sure we couldn’t get worse than W. WOW. Was I wrong.
Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis.
There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.

If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.

Striding into spring with a side angle of my embroidery, Tree Spirit for you today. Completely freehand stitched in March 2022.

Odd. According to this the debt's gone up $4.6T in less than a year. Why it's almost as if trump lied when he said he'd lower the debt.
$1.5T military budget
$170B on ICE & Border Patrol
$100B on tax cuts for the 1%
$20B from Treasury for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$500M sending National Guard into cities
$250M on Kristi Noem's jets
$100M+ on Trump's golf outings
$75k for Kash Patel's Olympic trip
Priorities.
Spoke to some remarkable people this week. Dive into any of these that look interesting to you.....
First, talked about the incredibly important fight against Trump's reckless assault on science with @cdelawalla.bsky.social and Dr. Jenna Norton. 1/

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes.
$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered.

Well done, Jersey!
Please send this girl some love and some orders. I have tried body butters, soaps (with and without loofah) bath bombs, bath salts, massage candles — EVERY item has been amazing. Prices are reasonable, and I desperately want her to stay in business!!!
