The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

NGL, whenever I see people organizing their bookshelves by the color of the book cover, all I can think of is "who hurt you?!"
The only correct organization is by ANY classification system but Dewey (who was racist). Mine is Library of Congress.

jfc, Americans do not take an oath. God damn it. We're in the stupidest timeline.
The pledge is an idiotic late addition to the ritualization of America. It means nothing. I stopped saying it in school when I realized it was performative nonsense.

@drfrancisyoung.bsky.social's delightful book, living next to my papoo's much abused copy of Bulfinch (I need to have the book restored, it is my shame it is in this condition).
Please consider this excellent work for your own book hoard. You will not regret it.

Welker: "Are you calling for U.S. service members to actively disobey orders like those?"
Sen. Mark Kelly: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them…There needs to be an investigation."

I am going to confess. I may have broken the boycott of Amazon over the weekend.
All I ask is your forgiveness. I could not help myself. There were BOOKS to acquire. Books that Bluesky placed in my path.
How could I not?

There was a war movie. I don't remember the name, just that the plot (spoiler) was the group had to take down a bridge. To do that, the realized they needed to destroy the up-river dam, because the bridge was too entrenched to go at directly.
So, let me tell you about uncapping the House...

Now we know why Hegseth fired so many of the miliary attorneys.
“Murder, war crimes, or both.”
A working group of former JAG attorneys says the Hegseth/Trump Caribbean boat bombings are precisely the kind of illegal orders the military has a duty to disobey and can be prosecuted for following. www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

I just don't understand how other countries can make universal Healthcare work but we can't.
We could but, we just don’t want to lift everyone up.

I can't tell you how much I loathe watching couples HAVE TO do everything as a single unit and forcing one partner to conform.
If your partner likes action figures, let them FUCKING COLLECT THEM. Don't make your S/O give up their passions because you don't understand them.
GAAAH.

Thanksgiving went well - politics did not come up. but I will mention this little data point - my mom (who drank the MAGA Kool Aid, but I AM not getting into it with an 84 year old woman who keeps hoping she'll pass quietly in her sleep) did not have nice things to day about the folks around Trump.

So. I can't express how badly the Regime fucked up when placid, entitled, Long Island is done with this shit.
When Long Island becomes activist - that's a tipping point. Remember, the island voted Red in 2024. This is the land of Santos and LaLota.
