Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

This is so important right now. Many things demand that I keep my head in these time. This is helpful.

Its hard to take Klein seriously if he doesn't first wrestle with what Klein actually was advocating or speak with those who were his targets. This is an except from Ta-Nehisi Coats: bsky.app/profile/junl...

There is a lot to love in The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coats., but this quote stands out to me this morning.
"There were elders in my world who took to nationalism as religion, which is to say a set of answers for both their politics and their lives."

Hate to refer over to Insta, but Ta-Nehisi Coats IS FIRE. This is all true. In the long run, we haven't been strong or progressive. We've lost, and we're lost. WE NEED REAL PROGRESSIVE LEADERS www.instagram.com/p/DHTuvftPsel/

Im watching him talking with Ezra Klein on “time opinion” Ta-Nehisi is so magnificent and so patient with him. Ezra is so out of his depth. It’s so painful and aggravating to watch. Why does Ezra have such a larch platform? He is mediocre at his best

If you haven't read
Ta-Nehisi Coats’ unapologetic, uncompromising, & comprehensive piece on Charlie Kirk bc you don't have a sub to Vanity Fair,
here you go:

Donald Trump is the voice of violent rhetoric, enabled by Republican gun nuts, there is no both sides as the Republicans would like you to believe. Republicans post christmas cards with AR15s, they wear gun pins on their lapels, and so on. #FuckTrump

Asymmetrical warfare at its finest

Now I’m mad that Joe Morton never won this.

Charlie Kirk: Joe Biden should be "put in prison and/or given the death penalty for crimes against America"

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed.

Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing.

Both sides!

We had guessed that Hyundai and LG would walk away from this plant. Why? Asian companies, not just auto, are built on trust, faith, & partnerships. They view what Trump did as alien to ALL OF THEIR VALUES. This comes from me working in Asia often since 1981 and living and working there for 3 yrs.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Great turnout at today’s Labor Day protest. Bainbridge township in red Ohio knew the assignment. So glad my friend Darcy could join me with her VERY LOUD cowbell.

NEW: Huge anti-Trump protests happening across the US for Labor Day.

This is the current scene in San Diego. A seemingly endless line of thousands of people on the streets!

Hey, Trump. This is going to be PRICELESS!! I bet Stephen will mention you a few times. Aren't you glad that you worked SO HARD to have him removed from that last job? I know I am going to LOVE THIS. And you? Oh, cat got your tongue?

MUST READ. You will NOT FIND ANYTHING BETTER TO READ IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS....promise. And I think that Trump would love the honesty in this one....whew!!

CBS, Skydance, and Paramount stock will suffer just like Tesla and X. If all they care about is money, then hit em in the wallet.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.
