Just like you can get a PhD in Classics without memorizing the minute details of the structure and weaponry of the Roman army. But boy did I dread having that particular type of student in my classes when I was teaching!

WSJ just reported that nearly one in three single-family homes sold this year were bought by investors. These aren’t just the big institutional landlords, they’re small-scale cash buyers and syndicates scooping up homes that would otherwise go to families. A thread

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Very impressive turnout at the #handsoff rally in the very small, *very* Republican rural Virgina town I live near. Even more impressive show of support from random people driving by.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

We should probably talk more about how wealth and power literally cause brain damage.

If they were taxed fairly, it would turn into bridges and firestrucks and fully staffed CSB’s and the like. Instead, it becomes number in accounts and funds, which is to say, it doesn’t exist anymore. They can’t possibly spend it all if they tried. It’s effectively nothing. 2/

Billionaires have this amazing superpower that allows them to turn the labor and productivity of thousands of people into nothing at all. If they compensated fairly, that labor would turn into higher quality of life for those who earned it. 1/

Being a naturalized citizen, aka and immigrant, β€œnot from here,” is also not what’s wrong with Musk.

Let’s make one thing very clear: the problem with Musk is *not* that he is autistic.

It’s stunning what air travel with young kids reveals about the number of people lacking a shred of empathy or the most basic emotional intelligence.
