“Fiscal discipline” is code for protecting the donor class.

Fiscal Rules are thus
No Taxes on the rich
Low Interest Rates for the rich
Privatisation
Allowing price gouging
Permanent Austerity
Managed Decline

This shutdown is now the longest in history, thanks to the Trump administration and their allies in Congress. They *could* fund the government and fix the health care crisis - but instead they’re prolonging the suffering of workers, just to break the Affordable Care Act.

Who would’ve thought that kneecapping public education institutions/facilities and terrorizing ESL students would have resulted in this….?

Oh, right. Anyone with an understanding of cause-and-effect.

Education is suffering statewide. Support educators, students, & community initiatives!

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia.

🥀Randall Gamboa died after being detained by ICE…

He was healthy, video-calling his family daily from detention. Then, communication was abruptly cut. Weeks later, ICE returned him to Costa Rica in a vegetative state. He never recovered. May he rest in power.

The most important thing you’ll read this week
My latest. "Do not allow your values to be captured and contained behind a screen in a cycle of inactive reaction. Jailbreak your cynicism and isolation, and escape your devices. Bring your hope, rage, and potential into the world."
We Have to Move
"There are living, breathing people all around you who need your sense of decency to be made material. Don’t give up on them, or on you."

Not surprising whatsoever.

The more I learn about PERA (the NLRA law equivalent for public employees) the more apparent it becomes how this state is an employer haven & how workers have never mattered here…almost as if it’s rooted in brutal traditions…

Repubs are going after voting rights however they can. Why?

"As of 2024, the majority-minority states: Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, & New Jersey. These states have a higher percentage of people of color than the U.S. as a whole."

Any questions?

To start...you may remember I was one of three UF "Americanist" political scientists who risked our jobs for the right to participate in Florida litigation protecting voting rights. We had violent threats to ourselves and our families www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
In ‘chilling’ decision, UF professors have been barred from testifying against Florida

After skyrocketing following the election and peaking just before the inauguration, GEO's share price has lost nearly all its so-called 'Trump bump' gains.

You can check whether your portfolio includes GEO or other prison-related holdings at prisonfreefunds.org.

Please boycott AMZN, if you aren’t already. The technological infrastructure for the biometric AI-augmented, cloud-supported surveillance state is materializing and of COURSE they have $$$ and development on it.

🚫 No packages. No prime. No prime video. No Whole Foods. No AWS.

It has to stop. 🛑

I called it. The Democrats won't call for the abolition of ICE. They just want respectable looking fascist thugs.

If GEO Group gets their way, they will have no standard of accountability and be exempt from litigation for various violations. This will, in essence, make torture in prison legal.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
