When Trump is rounding up people with impunity and the imprimatur of the nation’s highest court at least folks will be able to take comfort in the fact the slightly older guy is no longer president.

I just finished reading this book about Hitler's rise to power and how it was aided by a number of establishment right-wing figures in Germany who were playing cynical games and should've known better. Eerie parallels to the US today. Highly recommended.

We should step back a moment and wonder at the spectacle of a former president sitting at the defense table in a criminal trial as stocks in the media company he named after himself (DJT) collapse. This is some wild shit and deserves acknowledgement.

What an absolutely awful headline. What is the "about face"? In his statement, he brags about overturning Roe and endorses state restrictions on abortion. He didn't explicitly endorse a federal ban in this speech, but he clearly would sign it if Congress passes one. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/p...
Trump’s About-Face on Abortionwww.nytimes.com After months of mixed signals, the former president said abortion rights should be left to the states.

Democrats shouldn't bail them out by agreeing to the very short 15-week ban. Their radicalism brought us this moment, and there's no need to compromise with them to get back to their slightly less awful benchmark. Use the leverage.

Florida’s Supreme Court just threw a major wrench into the election, and Democrats are fired up. Rulings yesterday put the whole state into play over the question of abortion, threatening the GOP’s path to a senate majority and even the White House. open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

I don't know how to express how *this* is the economy we all care about. We don't care that corporate profits are up or whatever the stock market is doing. We care that food is becoming more and more unaffordable.

When you can't afford food and housing, you're not going to think that the economy is doing well. This is what happens when you have a neoliberal government that allows corporations to incessantly exploit the population, using the "free market" as an excuse not to intervene.
Americans are spending the biggest share of their income on food in 3 decadeswww.cbsnews.com The high cost of food both at home and in restaurants continues to be a sore spot for millions of U.S. households.

Parents must be informed by the school if their child identifies as transgender, but parents cannot ask the school to identify their children as they wish. Kids can’t discuss periods until middle school, but if they get pregnant at any age, they must carry a baby to term or into mortal danger. /2

How to make sense of these contradictions? High school seniors shouldn't read Toni Morrison without parental permission, but eighth graders can work in restaurant kitchens or meatpacking plants without it. /1
