Eulalia Pérez de Guillén Mariné (c. 1766?–1878) was a Californio (Hispanic Californian) woman who was mayordoma of Mission San Gabriel Arcángel and grantee of Rancho del Rincón de San Pascual in the San Rafael Hills, in present-day Los Angeles County, California. Born in Loreto, Baja California (now in Mexico), she was the daughter of Diego Pérez, a Spanish naval officer (who taught his daughter to read), and Antonia Rosalía Cota. At age 15, she married Miguel Antonio Guillén, a soldier stationed at the Presidio of San Diego. The couple moved to Alta California around 1800, eventually settling at Mission San Gabriel Arcángel. After her husband's death, she was hired by the San Gabriel friars as a cook after winning a cooking contest. But soon she was the manager of the mission. She concocted a famous lemonade, and the demand for it was so great that she began bottling the beverage, and the friars sold it, helping fill the mission’s coffers. They began shipping bottled lemonade to Spain, and it became one of Los Angeles’ first exports. Along with her daughters, she supervised cooking, sewing, nursing, soap, and candle making, the winery and the olive oil presses. In 1834, following 14 years of service, the mission's friars granted her 15,400 acres of land known as Rancho del Rincón de San Pascual, encompassing present-day Pasadena. Due to Mexican laws that prohibited women from owning property independently, she married Juan Mariné, a retired artillery lieutenant, to hold the land in trust. However, Mariné's neglect led to eventual sale of the land. Eulalia Pérez de Guillén Mariné is one of only two non-clergy buried with the priests in the San Gabriel Mission courtyard cemetery a highly unusual honor for a woman at that time; a marble bench inscribed with her name marks the spot. She was one of the few interviewed for Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley, in 1877, who was neither an aristocrat or a man.

Never forget that we're in a CLASS WAR, not a political one.

The Real Math of Survival The official poverty line for a family of four in 2024 is $31,200. The median household income is roughly $80,000. We have been told, implicitly, that a family earning $80,000 is doing fine—safely above poverty, solidly middle class, perhaps comfortable. But if Orshansky’s crisis threshold were calculated today using her own methodology, that $80,000 family would be living in deep poverty. I wanted to see what would happen if I ignored the official stats and simply calculated the cost of existing. I built a Basic Needs budget for a family of four (two earners, two kids). No vacations, no Netflix, no luxury. Just the “Participation Tickets” required to hold a job and raise kids in 2024. Using conservative, national-average data: Childcare: $32,773 Housing: $23,267 Food: $14,717 Transportation: $14,828 Healthcare: $10,567 Other essentials: $21,857 Required net income: $118,009 Add federal, state, and FICA taxes of roughly $18,500, and you arrive at a required gross income of $136,500. This is Orshansky’s “too little” threshold, updated honestly. This is the floor. The single largest line item isn’t housing. It’s childcare: $32,773. This is the trap. To reach the median household income of $80,000, most families require two earners. But the moment you add the second earner to chase that income, you trigger the childcare expense. If one parent stays home, the income drops to $40,000 or $50,000—well below what’s needed to survive. If both parents work to hit $100,000, they hand over $32,000 to a daycare center. The second earner isn’t working for a vacation or a boat. The second earner is working to pay the stranger watching their children so they can go to work and clear $1-2K extra a month. It’s a closed loop. The Housing Lie (Or, Why the Model Is Optimistic) Critics will immediately argue that I’m cherry-picking expensive cities. They will say $136,500 is a number for San Francisco or Manhattan, not “Real America.” So let’s look at “Real America.” The model above allocates $23,267 per year for housing. That breaks down to $1,938 per month. This is the number that serious economists use to tell you that you’re doing fine. In my last piece, Are You An American?, I analyzed a modest “starter home” which turned out to be in Caldwell, New Jersey—the kind of place a Teamster could afford in 1955. I went to Zillow to see what it costs to live in that same town if you don’t have a down payment and are forced to rent. There are exactly seven 2-bedroom+ units available in the entire town. The cheapest one rents for $2,715 per month. That’s a $777 monthly gap between the model and reality. That’s $9,300 a year in post-tax money. To cover that gap, you need to earn an additional $12,000 to $13,000 in gross salary. So when I say the real poverty line is $140,000, I’m being conservative. I’m using optimistic, national-average housing assumptions. If we plug in the actual cost of living in the zip codes where the jobs are—where rent is $2,700, not $1,900—the threshold pushes past $160,000. The market isn’t just expensive; it’s broken. Seven units available in a town of thousands? That isn’t a market. That’s a shortage masquerading as an auction. And that $2,715 rent check buys you zero equity. In the 1950s, the monthly housing cost was a forced savings account that built generational wealth. Today, it’s a subscription fee for a roof. You are paying a premium to stand still.

Matilda of Tuscany (c. 1046–1115) was a powerful Italian noblewoman, military leader, and staunch supporter of the papacy during the turbulent Investiture Controversy of the 11th and 12th centuries. As the heiress of vast territories in northern Italy, she wielded significant political and military influence at a time when female rulers were rare. Known as the “Grand Countess,” Matilda played a key role in backing Pope Gregory VII against Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV, helping to secure the pope’s authority in conflicts over church appointments. She led armies to defend papal lands and provided refuge to the pope during his exile. Matilda’s patronage extended to religious institutions, founding churches and monasteries that shaped the spiritual landscape of medieval Italy. Her leadership combined martial skill, political savvy, and deep piety.

HEADS UP FRIENDS: a new, extremely sophisticated scam is hitting people right now. I just went through it — and it was far more convincing than the usual garbage. This guy was calm, confident and had an answer for every question. Here’s what happened: I got a call from a 650 area code (Google’s area). The caller knew my name, my Gmail, my phone, my past devices. He told me my Google account had a breach and a device in another state was logged in. He sent me two emails that looked exactly like real Google alerts — correct logos, formatting, timestamps, everything. He gave me a reference number, an internal case ID, and walked me through “security steps.” The entire goal was to get me to approve a Google Account Recovery prompt. If I had clicked “Yes, it’s me,” they would have taken over my entire Google identity instantly with access to anything connected like Google Drive, Docs, everything. No password needed. No 2-factor needed. Full account transfer. It was that close. Important: Google does NOT call customers about breaches. Ever. If you get a call like this: Hang up immediately (like I should have!) Do not answer any questions. Do not confirm devices, phone numbers, recovery emails, or codes. Go to your own Google Security page: https://myaccount.google.com/security If it’s not listed there, it’s not real. Never approve any surprise login or account-recovery prompt. Scammers are now using high-end scripts, real-time email spoofing, and data from old leaks to create incredibly convincing “Google Security” calls. Luckily, I looked it up on Chat and Google while on the phone and avoided getting taken only because I hung up before the final step. Hopefully you haven't experienced this - and tell your parents over the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving!

Frances Perkins (April 10, 1880 – May 14, 1965) watched 146 women burn to death because factory owners locked the exits. Twelve years later, she became the most powerful woman in America. And the first woman in a presidential Cabinet. Born in Boston, she studied, she studied physics at Mount Holyoke College. Her professor took students to tour factories along the Connecticut River. Frances saw exhausted girls younger than herself in abysmal conditions, inspiring her to earn a master's degree at Columbia University in economics and sociology, writing her thesis on malnutrition in Hell's Kitchen. By 1910, she was Executive Secretary of the New York Consumers League, investigating factories, documenting violations, pushing for reform: clean bakeries; safe exits; maximum working hours. She testified before legislative committees, telling powerful men their factories were killing people. Then came the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory tragedy on March 25, 1911. She watched young women jump from 9-floor windows because the factory owners had locked the doors to prevent "theft" and "unauthorized breaks." Most of the 146 workers who died were immigrant women and girls, as young as 14. Within weeks, Frances was appointed to the committee investigating the fire. She didn't just write a report. She rewrote New York's labor laws from the ground up: Fire exits—unlocked, accessible, clearly marked; Maximum occupancy limits; Sprinkler systems; Regular safety inspections; 54-hour maximum workweek; One day off per week. New York passed the laws. Within a decade, American workplaces had been transformed. In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Frances to join his Cabinet as Secretary of Labor. She was 53 years old. Frances agreed, but only on her terms: A 40-hour workweek; A minimum wage; Abolition of child labor; Unemployment insurance; Old-age pensions. Roosevelt said they were impossible demands. But for twelve years—longer than any other Labor Secretary in history—Frances Perkins f…

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911) was a pioneering African American poet, lecturer, and activist whose work advanced abolition, women’s rights, and social justice in 19th-century America. Born free in Baltimore to educated parents, Harper used her powerful writing and oratory skills to challenge slavery and racial discrimination. Harper published numerous volumes of poetry, such as Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects (1854), blending themes of faith, freedom, and the fight against injustice. She also became a prominent speaker for the Underground Railroad, temperance, and suffrage movements. In 1866, Harper helped found the National Association of Colored Women, working tirelessly to improve education and civil rights for Black women. Throughout her life, she toured widely, inspiring audiences with her calls for equality, compassion, and unity.

#RadicalWomen
Gloria Richardson (1922–2021) was a bold and influential leader in the American civil rights movement, best known for her work in Cambridge, Maryland, during the early 1960s. As the head of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee (CNAC), she led protests demanding not only desegregation but also jobs, healthcare, and better housing—broadening the civil rights agenda to include economic justice. Born into a prominent Black family and educated at Howard University, Richardson returned to her segregated hometown and quickly became a key figure in the fight for racial equality. Unlike many civil rights leaders of her era, she did not shy away from the idea of self-defense when faced with violence, challenging the mainstream movement’s commitment to nonviolence. One of the most iconic images of the civil rights era shows Richardson calmly pushing away a bayonet-wielding National Guardsman during a 1963 protest—symbolizing her courage and refusal to be intimidated. Though often overlooked in mainstream histories, Gloria Richardson was a trailblazer who demanded systemic change and inspired future generations to confront inequality with determination and clarity.

It's important to remember that Trump’s special "peace envoy", Steve Witkoff, isn't just one of Trump's "former" business partners. He is the man helping Trump enrich himself through the Presidency as we speak. He is, quite literally, his partner in crime. On 16 September 2024, less than two months before the Presidential election, Trump launched World Liberty Financial. This was, essentially, a non-tradable crypto coin (the WLFI Token), with Trump owning 22.5% of this new coin reserves (as well as 75% of token sale revenue). This would be considered an extraordinary conflict of interest in any functional democracy. His business partner in this venture is Steve Witkoff. Witkoff's son, meanwhile, is understood to be the man who came up with the idea and runs the operation. The WLFI Token was always intended to become a tradable coin, but by pretending otherwise the company was able to avoid the coins being listed as a security and therefore covered by strict regulations on disclosures and audits. When it did "decide" to make the WLFI Token publicly tradable in September this year, it was fortunate enough to discover that the largest crypto exchange in the world, Binance, would be selling the coins immediately (rare for a new coin), potentially adding billions to coin's value. Less than a month later, the CEO and founder of Binance received a Presidential Pardon for serious money laundering charges... but it's OK, Trump assured reporters that he didn't even know who he was. The value of the WLFI Tokens owned by the Trump family are now valued at over $5 billion. Remember, he hasn't actually created anything, or provided a service to anyone, but he just made $5 billion from nothing, while he was the sitting President of the USA. .. and the best part, we don't really know who has been buying the coins to make them so valuable. We don't know who is making the Trump and Witkoff family rich. We know the UAE bought at least $100 million of them, but there are also million…

Sofonisba Anguissola (born c. 1532, Cremona [Italy]—died November 1625, Palermo) was a late Renaissance painter best known for her portraiture. She was one of the first known female artists and one of the first women artists to establish an international reputation. Among female painters, she was unusual in that her father was a nobleman rather than a painter. Anguissola’s innovative self-portraits and family scenes challenged gender norms and inspired future generations of women artists. Even late in life, she continued painting and advising young artists. The eldest of seven siblings—six girls and one boy—Anguissola was born into a wealthy family. In 1546 both Sofonisba and Elena, his second daughter, were sent to board in the household of Bernardino Campi, a prominent local painter. They remained under instruction with Campi for three years until he moved from Cremona to Milan. Sofonisba continued her training with Bernardino Gatti, through whom she gained an appreciation of the work of Correggio. During this period of her life, through the influence of her father, she also received encouragement from Michelangelo, copying a drawing he sent her and sending it to him for his appraisal. While beginning to earn a living, Sofonisba also taught her sisters Lucia, Europa, and Anna Maria to paint. About 30 of her paintings from this period, including many self-portraits and the well-known Lucia, Minerva, and Europa Anguissola Playing Chess (1555), survived into the 21st century. Anguissola’s reputation spread, and in 1559 she was invited to Madrid, to the court of Philip II, where, in addition to painting portraits, she was an attendant to the infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia (later the archduchess of Austria) and a lady-in-waiting to Philip’s third wife, Elizabeth of Valois. Most of Anguissola’s paintings of this period were destroyed in a fire at court during the 17th century. About 1571, while still in Madrid and with a dowry provided by the king, she married Fabrizio…
