It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

I've been looking into David Brooks (now that he's been exposed as a buddy of Epstein's), wondering if he had a record of liking much younger women. Turns out he is married to his research assistant, a much younger woman who was literally born the same year he married his first wife.

David Brooks being in the Epstein pics reminded me he got divorced from his wife of 28 years for sleeping with his 20 year old research assistant, but I'd forgotten *this* was the book she assisted him with

I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney said the problem was that 47% of America didn’t pay taxes and wanted to be freeloaders. But I welcome him to the resistance.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?
