It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

because of the aggressive heckling. one woman said “one nice thing about getting older and losing my hearing is I dont notice those guys.” The others laughed in agreement. Then as we parted ways, one said that was the one and only negative response he had experienced that day. 💕 #hope

He pulled up parked so he could scream his fucks at us specifically. The people I happened to be walking with were all older than me - in their 60’s. I slowed down and asked how everyone was doing wanting to make sure they felt safe. They said they were doing great and after I indicated my worry 🧵

Got off the Max (Portland), with several people others on their way home from the #handsoff rally yesterday afternoon. A large white pick up truck with a large B & W distressed US flag sticker was driving by and the (male) driver slowed up with windows down, and started yelling and swearing. 🧵

Inspired by Cory Booker? Live in Wisconsin? Want to do something about *gestures at everything* but not registered to vote? You can register and vote today! There's still time. The polls are open until 8:00 pm, and if you're registered and in line by that time, stay in line and vote.

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s illegal to protest.

Though a certain ~boycott~ ends tomorrow, indie bookshops need our support all year long.

We're not going anywhere 💓

Today is the day!
My mission: to only support small local businesses and use cash.

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

Just what I needed this Monday morning

Legend! Her voice, I would say had a rich,smooth, velvet like quality.

New coronavirus discovered in Chinese bats sparks alarm The virus binds to humans in a similar way to the virus that causes COVID-19.

With who is now head of Health & Human Services, I feel like we are being driven in a Ford Pinto with one headlight out, on a highway with no guardrail. Just hoping that another pandemic doesn’t rear end us.

The NNSA has been advanced to the Find Out stage.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

NSA museum covered plaques honoring women and people of color, provoking an uproar Following a White House anti-DEI order, the National Cryptologic Museum covered up exhibits of women and people of color in its Hall of Honor. The NSA reversed course after former employees mobilized.
