The Democrats in Congress FINALLY managed to remove that horrible rule that choked the USPS for decades requiring them to fund pensions for unborn postal workers (2007 Repub fuckery, thanks Bush). and still more can be done if Mr Chipped-an-Ear-and-Cry doesnt win. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Congress passes $50 bln U.S. Postal Service relief billwww.reuters.com The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to provide the long loss-making Postal Service (USPS) with about $50 billion in financial relief over a decade and require its future retirees to enroll in a government health insurance plan.

Also, like...if you enjoyed one of the books you read, let the author know. Sometimes it feels like we're screaming our stories into the void, and a few words of encouragement can go a long way.

It's because they want to privatize weather. They tried doing it under his last administration but many people didn't really notice beyond the weird hurricane drawing he did. It's also why they cut (or at least tried to it's been a minute since I read that stuff) a bunch of NASA Earth's funding too

They have such winning ideas like “why don’t we charge people who want to know if that tornado is gonna hit their house.”

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

Relatedly, people assume the President's fairly free hand with foreign policy means that he has an equally free hand with domestic policy. "President just sent an extra $15 Billion to Ukraine? Why can't he send that hear? Doesn't he see the potholes?"

if every single case of Covid damages the immune system, then the rate of hospitalization and death should be steadily accelerating over time, for Covid and everything else. in fact we see the opposite. why? vaccines and the immune system doing its thing

most extremely online people assume the marginal swing voter is someone like them except a little more moderate when the actual marginal swing voter is "guy who's mad at the president because he thinks the president appoints the commissioner of major league baseball"

I think a big mistake liberals make is constantly making up an imagined "normal voter" in their heads to triangulate their opinions around. NO! What do YOU THINK? What do THE PEOPLE YOU ACTUALLY KNOW BELIEVE?

I know I'm part of the problem by posting this, but I sincerely wish social media were better at taking the raw emotion of what comes out of the news and redirecting it toward positive constructive action. Enough "this is how democracy dies"; more "this is what we can do to save it as a group"

Today is the 80th anniversary of this New Yorker cover by Rea Irvin, portraying the D-Day invasion in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry. Bayeux was the first town to be liberated (although the tapestry was, to the surprise of many, not there anymore; that story is the subject of my next novel.) 1/5

if you want to become truly ungovernable, ROAR LIKE A FUCKING LION at the people who want to sell you a dismal future full of misery and disappointment.

they want and need everyone to believe that it is hopeless and that nothing matters and that nothing will ever get better, but, like, they’re wrong. they’re liars. they lie, depression lies, this whole thing is a fucking con to get you to think that submission is better than liberty.

With information swirling, people jumping to all kinds of conclusions about motives, I think it's important to remember that Charles Guiteau shot President Garfield because he wanted to be ambassador to France and thought God told him to, and experts concluded he was driven mad by his weird foreskin

This is what AOC and Bernie get for sticking by Biden, and we can debate the policy, but this is a super-tangible win for the left side of the Democratic Party

I truly don't believe there are undecided voters in this election. I think people know by now who they'd vote for... if they vote. And that's gonna be the key issue. 2020 had a 66.9% Voting Eligible Population turnout. By contrast, 2016 had 59.2%

It strikes me that for all the drama, polls have actually moved very little. My guess is that the results of the election in November will depend largely on get out the vote efforts.
