reich has a knack for reminding people of the obvious
Trump’s real base of support — billionaires, Big Oil, Big Tech, crypto, defense contractors, & Wall Street — know that the midterms may limit what they and Trump can get away with moving forward.

2026 could be the last year they can cash in and loot the country.

Be warned.

Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony.

So I read the transcript.

december kept me incredibly busy.
i'm able to breath, look up, and it's invasion, threatened invasion, threatened conquest, and loud Grumpa growling on social media.

Beijing: looking at Taiwan and hoping Trump keeps going?

Me: time to go back to being swamped?

So I'm going to post this as a resolution here, and check in to make sure I'm doing it:

In the new year, I resolve to spend at least an hour each week working on the creative projects that have been on the back burner forever, because they're never the top priority of the week.

Be it so resolved.

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

While the Kremlin tried to silence it, the world embraced it.

Composed in 1914 by Mykola Leontovych, the Ukrainian “Shchedryk” — known as “Carol of the Bells” — became a timeless classic heard in films and holiday ads worldwide.

An evangelical new emigrant goes to an conservative pro-capitalist evangelical college, learns to wrestle with what Jesus said, and emerges a Christian socialist
"Ten years ago, I wanted to vote for Trump. Today, I wish I lived in New York City so Mamdani could be my mayor. How and why did my politics and commitments as a Christian change so drastically?"

Plenty of evidence that drinking too much is very detrimental to society. Does she want us to bomb every place that serves alcohol, every truck that delivers it?

I've been a bit unwell and out of it for the past few days so I am behind on #ArtAdventCalendar and so to make up for it, I'll include three pieces today; three times I drew my little guy, Static Void, who is always ready when I don't know what to draw.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.
