Always read @hshierholz.bsky.social . A really important thread about why worker pay should be a key part of an affordability agenda.
Affordability is dominating the discourse. What I don't like about the conversation is that it focuses almost entirely on prices—as if the only way to make life affordable is to make things cheaper. But affordability is determined by prices *and pay.* 1/

As an NU alum, I condemn its administration for its capitulation to greed, mendacity and corruption.

A sad day for the university I love.

Deplorable!!!
Insanely stupid and short-sighted choice. I didn't even know they were still trying to run this racket. You put more universities in danger with this shit you idiots!

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Now that we have plenty of real data, seems extremely conclusive that the idea the way the shutdown ended would lead people to feel better about Trump or less likely to support Democrats was pretty much nonsense

That decision led to the appointment of Roberts and Alito, but you need to go back to 1971 to read the memorandum that Lewis Powell wrote which led directly to project 2025 and the capture of many parts of the federal judiciary by right wing ideologues
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

A team of folks is making a feature film about the connection between the Powell memo and project 2025. We want people to watch it so it’s going to be told as a fictional heist movie. Stay tuned.
I’ve been listening to the MASTERPLAN podcast. They link Project 2025 all the way back to the Powell Memo of 1971. This plan has been decades in the making

I don’t understand why Justice Jackson issued an order that will ensure a lot of people will go hungry. I’m so bitterly disappointed. Does someone have any encouraging words?😢🥺💔 I hold her in the higher regard and do not understand this.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now.

TurboTax makers Intuit have lobbied the government for years to block free public tax-filing.

Now Trump has terminated the free IRS Direct File program, nearly a year after Intuit gave his inauguration $1M.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
