I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Only twice as much as it would cost to end hunger!
BlackRock is on the verge of buying Aligned Data Centers — a massive data center construction company — in a deal valued at $40 billion.

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

This is yet another affront to our democracy in the name of advancing Trump's corrupt, pro-billionaire agenda. Shame on Speaker Johnson for denying the working families of #AZ07 the representation they deserve.

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.
Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.
But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Perfect reminder that @abdulelsayed.bsky.social is running as a humanitarian counterbalance to this unapologetically phony warhawk
Senator Elissa Slotkin, who is fond of bringing up her national security expertise from having worked for the CIA, says she hasn't had a chance to read Trump's NSPM-7 directive.
It was signed a week ago!

Dems condemn Trump’s broad ‘domestic terrorism’ directive — but offer few concrete steps for opposition
The White House last week targeted so-called domestic terrorism organizations in a wide-ranging memo which appeared to provide broad definitions of conduct “animating” political violence.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.
Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.
And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.
Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.
