Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

I just watched this incredible documentary on PBS “Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny” and it sent chills down my spine. It’s frightening how much “the banality of evil” is embedded in what we’re living through today. Every chapter of her life speaks to us now. You can watch it here free until July 26:

Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny - About the documentary | American Masters | PBS

Discover Hannah Arendt, who transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about totalitarianism.

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

Ist genau so gelaufen wie ich erwartet hatte.
Der bessere Weg wäre gewesen mit den Grünen eine breitere Koalition aufzustellen.
Jetzt ist es zu spät.

Eine Klimaaktivistin darf in Bayern nicht verbeamtete Lehrerin werden, aber Mitglieder einer gesichert rechtsextremen Partei mit Beamtenstatus - kein Problem für Dobrindt.

CBC/Radio-Canada is a pillar of our Canadian identity.

We’re going to strengthen our public broadcaster with more long-term funding, and a modernized mandate — to deliver more local news and keep Canadians better informed during emergencies.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

DOGE isn't just cutting vital government services.

Each federal job loss could also result in the loss of at least one additional worker in the private sector.

Working people having less money in their pockets to spend stifles local economies.

What’s “efficient” about that?

If information like this is not classified, nothing is.

If Hegseth is claiming he declassified this information, he should be shown the door for having done so.
