It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Biden, 52%: “low end approval”
Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”
Trump, 39%: proceeding “as expected”
At a hundred days into his presidency, Joe Biden had a 52% approval rating.
As we near the hundred days mark in his second term, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating.
Here's how those numbers were framed by the media:

The last guy to show off his military access by sharing classified military intel with unauthorized people on a consumer chat app, Jack Teixeira, will be in prison until 2036
A friend of mine who worked in national security for decades had a great line about Hegseth: "He's like a child playing a video game who wants to show off his high scores." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...
Details Hegseth Shared on Signal Came From a Secure Site
Information about U.S. strikes in Yemen that the defense secretary put in two group chats came from Central Command, according to two people familiar with the chats.

and there is more of this for democrats to do! demand to see the other people renditioned to this prison! conduct on camera interviews with people who have lost social security, veterans benefits and medical care because of DOGE, hold rallies against the administration’s lawlessness!
Van Hollen’s trip to El Salvador is a form of embodied protest and helped put Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Gracia on the front page of the NYT two days in a row.
As Bayard Rustin once said, “The only weapons we have are our bodies, and we need to tuck them in places so wheels don't turn.”

Tax cuts account for 38% of the national debt today, while recession responses and spending increases each caused 29%. And now the Republicans want to pass $5.3T more tax cuts. We can’t keep this up.
