Equality, what a concept.

7) This 2017 event established a historical precedent for "business-led" diplomacy attempts that bypass traditional State Department channels—a pattern that appears to be repeating in the "Make Money Not War" 28 point peace plan.

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic.
It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

Some voters chose Trump on the theory that he wouldn't ActUally fulfill his promises.
"Oh, he won't ActUally (impose tariffs, pursue mass deportation, threaten the Constitution)"
He won't fulfill the promises that hurt "my" people, just those "other" people.

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

Could the talking head media pick up the habit of calling out false statements in the moment? Crazy thought.
For over 20 years, media allowed GOP pols & pundits to sling accusations, slurs, & threats without question or consequence in order to maintain "access".
Access to false statements like this.
