The president becoming a crypto billionaire and pardoning convicted criminals who introduced his family to crypto is the sort of thing that people used to associate with “corrupt” dictatorships and now it’s not even the scandal of the week.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Nothing unites reactionary factions like a charismatic socialist.

Aging reactionary Eric Adams clasps hands with aging reactionary Andrew Cuomo before a crowd in a press photo above the headline, “Eric Adams will endorse Andrew Cuomo for mayor.” The two reactionaries are both labeled “Reactionaries.” Above their clasped hands is the text, “Stopping a socialist,” which is the thing reactionaries love most.

Still hard to fathom that people voted to put the King of Bankruptcy in charge of the world's largest economy.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.

The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.

And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.

No one is coming to save us.

It's entirely up to us.

Lansing currently has a really low voter turnout and I think part of it is that people don’t really know where their money is going and how municipal government really works. Wish me luck in following through with this idea - subtle peer pressure welcome.

Being a part of the #Lansing #CitizensAcademy has been an incredible learning experience! I want to find a way to take the things I learned and share them with more people - bc honestly it’s such a privilege just to have the time to join the class every week.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.
