Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

You might enjoy attending an Neighborhood Economics event, tho maybe you already have

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

I continue to believe that in the current context zines are an important modality for exchanging and distributing information.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The largest of other things are happening.

Grown men approach him with tears in their eyes and say sir, thank you for noticing other things happening.

You’re the best at seeing those things, and it’s not even close.

The corruption is endless. But worse, this is the authoritarian playbook: Erdogan handed media to loyalists & family, Putin handed it to his Oligarchs, Orbán took it for his party & donors, Marcos seized it for his family. Every regime centralizes media and hands it to cronies & family.

An apple worker with the bag she had to buy by herself and the specialty scissors she had to purchase

"Lola" is harvesting apples in Washington State. "We need to buy our own scissors and bag to do the job. The scissors cost $35 and the bag costs $90. Right now it's peak season and the trees are full of apples. If we work fast we can make around $140 in 8 hours. " #WeFeedYou

I’ve got the same sickness

Indeed. I’m still good not using debit cards and instantly giving businesses the cash. Credit cards provide a layer of safety.

We stopped using debit cards after watching a video by Frank Abagnale. We just use credit cards w/ perks and pay them off monthly. Certainly not the only way, but it is our way.

Affordability is a democratic scam or hoax, so says agent orange

The old days of pump and dump with penny stocks is back with a vengeance.

Aren’t these coins just a way for foreign governments to invisibly dump money into Trumps bank accounts and a handful of red hats follow along?

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Pete Hegseth on Sept 3 talking about the strike on boats where 2 survivors were later killed in a second strike: “I watched it live.”

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.
