I just realized that a large portion people I follow are guys who mix amusing/political observations with occasional thirst pics, so maybe I should reciprocate? This from my Catskills visit last weekend.
I just finished reading Born in Flames and, WOW, this is the most scorching indictment of capitalism ever, specifically racialized capitalism. READ THIS BOOK. Kudos @benchansfield.bsky.social

hey Lindsey, sorry to hear about your EPIC FAIL. Maybe you should just shuffle off to that Fox News job you were always destined for anyway.
Comey, James cases dismissed as judge disqualifies interim US attorney Lindsey Halligan
A judge concluded Halligan’s appointment violated laws that limit the ability of DOJ to install top prosecutors without Senate confirmation.

Yet more evidence that all career “success” is an unpredictable mix of life-long education, keeping at it through tough times and a ton of luck.
Worked in bookstores. Got an MFA. Taught. Temped. Worked in PR for 16 brutal years. Emailed recaps of a hilariously terrible gay dating show to friends. One friend passed them along to the right person. Everything changed.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
