An “Allow me to introduce myself” thread for folks who don’t know me: I’m from Arkansas & old enough to remember segregated schools, which ain’t that old. I was one of the first 3 or 4 Black ppl in the investment biz. 10 years later I started the state’s first Black-owned investment firm.

Gov. Pritzker after Trump calls for him to be jailed: “I will not back down… what else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

Mars was the Roman god of war.
That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.'

Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices.
That’s why we have Marshall’s.

If you want return on your investment, @democracydocket.com is where you must place your bets.
@marcelias.bsky.social is living rent-free in the Republican consciousness, because he keeps BEATING them, using just his skeleton staff & a gold-plated copy of the Constitution,

No one is covering the GOP's scheme to rig congressional maps for 2026 as closely as Democracy Docket. It is providing gavel to gavel coverage of the ongoing hearing over whether the Texas gerrymander will be in place for the midterms.

MEMPHIS Republicans “condemn” @FOX13Memphis for… doing their job?

Reporting on where the National Guard is as Trump occupies the city is exactly what local media should be doing.

Andrea Pitzer explains how the conversation between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a window into how not to be played by a system that benefits from our confusion.

No BLS jobs report at 8:30 today due to the shutdown. This is only the third time this has occurred. On both occasions, Republicans controlled the House. In my latest, I explain that and why the stock market keeps going in the opposite direction of the economy: open.substack.com/pub/thejourn...
The Stock Market Ain’t the Economy
This brief note discusses the dismal (and thanks to the shutdown, somewhat murky) jobs outlook, and why the stock market keeps going up anyway.

🔥 @adammockler.com : “Every time one of these tragic shootings happens everybody’s at each other’s throats about which side did it but we’re missing a broader pattern in 🇺🇸— this was another white young white dude in his 20’s… an acceleration of radicalization of young men…”

I'm not a huge Comey fan, but this is s how you fight back against the Trump machine.
You respond head on. Full frontal. In his face. Call Trump’s fucking bluff.
