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.

On the overlap btw offshore use & sexual exploitation of women here's a snippet:
Donald Trump--who appears 1000s of times in offshore leaks & bragged abt his tax evasion--is not the only rich guy whose hobbies include cheating with their friends' wives. Per an offshore wealth mgr I interviewed:

The Hungarian model is: make your country into a giant wealth extraction machine.
Squeeze out all the value the populace & public goods can provide, then funnel the proceeds to the dictator, his family & cronies.
It's the public equivalent to what private equity did to ToysRUs & Red Lobster.

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

No, it was men. Men on the House Banking Committee omitted 'sex' from the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 and Congresswoman Lindy Hale Boggs hand wrote it in and made copies.
Seems unhelpful to think of these injustices as imposed by men against women instead of by the bourgeoisie against the working class. Wealthy women (and men) see a material benefit from such policies.
“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago
