Hi! Since others are talking about my book, thought I'd share a little about it. The book is a love letter to women everywhere wondering why their time just isn't adding up. It turns out, it's not you! We are getting massively squeezed by structural changes! 🧵

I hope we can still be shocked by this.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

"This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation...Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats."

Some countries that have prosecuted or threatened to prosecute central bankers for the purpose of political intimidation or punishment for monetary policy decisions: Argentina, Russia, Turkey, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

Dark. And realistic.
I think it’s more likely than not that we see the end of Fed independence and NATO this year.

And thus fulfilling Putin's wildest dreams.
So we understand that it's not about taking control of Greenland, it's about making NATO implode, right?

I felt the same way seeing it!!! A little bit of light in a bleak moment 😊
Things are so bleak right now, so I really appreciate @corinnelow.com letting me know I’m the subject of a legitimate SAT question. (A life goal I didn’t know I had!)
Sometimes you need things just make you smile just because. And I needed that.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Yup. I'm watching the kids play contemplating exactly that.

How can you look at this and not feel that we have already lost? If THIS is already normal. (What our founders would have referred to as occupation during peacetime, in fact.)
I always thought the term "cosplaying" was overused until ICE/CBP started showing up everywhere. Look at this guy, does he think it's Fallujah? (It's a high school in Minneapolis).

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation).
Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed:
The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

This is really, deeply terrifying to me. Our information eco-system is already so polluted, not being able to trust visual information is a whole new hellscape. YES, to sophisticated consumers the video looks fake. But your aunt on Facebook or your teenage nephew are not!!
This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.
But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

So important. Work volatility at low income levels is REAL, and exactly the type of thing SNAP should be providing insurance for. Food assistance obviously shouldn't have work requirements. But these that punish people who work a lot, inconsistently, don't even meet their stated objective.
New at Can We Still Govern: @agpines.bsky.social & @lizananat.bsky.social explain how the work volatility of low income service employees will make it hard for them to satisfy new SNAP/Medicaid work requirements, even when they work lots of hours. 🧵

I feel bereft, confused, lost, and angry this morning. Anyone else? Like everything I've done to try to have a career and life that positively impacts others seems so meaningless in the face of my--all of our--impotence to do anything to stop our country from committing violence. What now?

Let me just say this this statement from the EU is some bullshit. (Click to see the previous tweet, too. Lots of leaders lack legitimacy. Can we bomb and kidnap them all Kaja?)
Under all circumstances, the principles of international law and the UN Charter must be respected. We call for restraint.
The safety of EU citizens in the country is our top priority. (2/2)

At least Bush went through the charade of lying to congress first. Jesus christ.
People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.
