This Veterans Day I want to acknowledge the Black veterans of WWII who fought fascism and nazism and came home to fight for civil rights and democracy here. New research shows Black veterans were critical in securing the voting rights currently under attack.

There were 12 total possessions in Saturday's Army-Temple game, six for each team, fewer than in any FBS game since at least 2007. (Five games since 2007 had featured 13 total game possessions: bcftoys.com/possessions).

It was very obvious they were never going to take this case and some people got very mad if you said that.

This is what's so aggravating — yes, it was not working in extracting a policy concession but it was working in *driving down trump's numbers and provoking GOP infighting* which is what's important if you take Dem rhetoric about the perils of MAGA remotely seriously.
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy
they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?

The idea that having cheap, delicious Italian pasta ‘dumped’ into the country is somehow something to be avoided cuts to the root of how absurd tariffs are
The U.S. is threatening to hit Italian pasta with a punitive antidumping tariff — and one company said it would have to double its pasta prices to keep up.
Tariffs on pasta from Italy could soon soar to more than 100%
A routine Commerce Department probe into alleged “dumping” resulted in crushing 100% tariffs on Italian pasta that leave exporters shouting “Basta!”

Nonprofits are often staffed by people who really care. Unfortunately, there’s nothing about caring deeply that makes you good at running a nonprofit, and I think we’ve seen that borne out numerous times with numerous nonprofits. You gotta pay for stuff you want, especially if you want it done well
This is also a problem in the non-profit sector, where people think that leadership making six figures is a sin against the public interest, not realizing that means you’re getting leadership that is either inept or independently wealthy.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
