My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

On Thanksgiving I celebrate my survival and choose to be alone. I see friends the rest of the weekend.
As another heavily marketed family holiday looms in the US, I want you to remember:
Not all blood relatives are worthy of your time
Sometimes the best way to celebrate a holiday is to ignore it completely
You have a right to your boundaries & it’s not a celebration if it feels obligatory

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Do you see "his highness" double checking that the blood has been thoroughly rinsed off of his hands?
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The relentlessly opportunistic Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't had a change of heart, much less politics. She is just literate enough to read the writing on the wall. She knows that Trump is damaged goods now. So she may have taken to singing like a bird, but she's really just a canary in a coal mine.

because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

The amazing thing about this admin is the corruption is so literal and so overt — in many cases, it’s just a direct transfer of taxpayer dollars to themselves and other b-villains from the show, like this is all completely normal, bc they can’t be bothered to extort corporations & interest groups

Dementia J. Trump can’t even get through a sentence when all he has to do is read it. This is guy is sundowning pretty fast. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
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.

Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.
