Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Tim and I agree: The Trump administration Department of Labor ads are super-creepy.

And very revealing about the vision of America they have and are seeking to effect.

Trump lawyer who praised ‘Mein Kampf’ is now accusing Harvard of antisemitism, report says Michael Velchik reportedly praised 'Mein Kampf' after graduating from Harvard, where he also wrote an essay from Hitler's perspective.

When anti-Semites claim to be fighting anti-Semitism they trivialize a very real problem and thereby deliberately make it worse. Attacking universities was always about spreading anti-Semitism, not combatting it.

This is all well and good, but who will be the streaming service provider? For most of us outside of the UK (United States) we're still generally without #DoctorWho. I 💙💙 #TheDoctor but I strongly dislike the machinations of the #BBC and TV shows held hostage to ever changing contract rights. 🙄

Pope Leo vs. the Empire of Lies: The Long Game to Defeat Trumpism He’s already rebuked immigration crackdowns and blasted the “logic of exclusion” fueling rising nationalism. Now, as the youngest pope in 35 years, Leo is poised to help defeat Trumpism for good.

My fascination with and admiration of Pope Leo continues as does his fight on the national stage against trumpism. Bravo! More of this from the entire Catholic community, please.

LMAO. If you think this is true of Star Trek (or any sci fi), it is because you affirmatively pushed non-male Trekkies out of your group with sexism and you should work on that.

How is it that the clouds still hang on you?

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,

Macbeth V, 5 #ShakespeareSunday

“A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy...
Where be your gibes now?
Your gambols?
Your songs?
Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Not one now to mock your own grinning?
Quite chapfallen?”

GOP Shutdown Counter with a calendar that reads 25 Days

Day 25

78 percent of Americans support extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits that help make healthcare more affordable for folks and families.

Republicans should listen to their constituents and get this done.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

What Happened to Ohio? The fraying of my family and our working-class hometown

This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl."

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

Republicans are the domestic enemies of the United States of America.

We Will Tear Down the Trump Palace Ballroom and Casino Thinking like a dissident movement.

“It is important to demonstrate that authoritarian gains are not permanent. That liberal society has the will to undo their grotesqueries.
Demolishing the Trump ballroom and restoring the East Wing will be symbolic. But symbolism matters to authoritarians.”

Commentary: Trump is destroying the White House to fulfill his little princess dream The president’s plans to build the kind of venue that most Americans associate with Disney princesses, Von Trapp family soirees and let-them-eat-cake dynasties became a reality this week.

Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina. Here’s $40B Trump’s Giving You. Trump’s MAGA allies aren’t thrilled by the prospect of our stocking up on pesos and Argentinian beef.

"The United States is now the proud owner of $20 billion in increasingly worthless Argentinian currency. America First, baby!"

keithedwards 123 years of history The East Wing was first built in 1902 under Theodore Roosevelt and expanded in 1942 under FDR. Most first ladies since Rosalynn Carter have worked from the East Wing.

So, women's history doesn't matter to the Felon as he destroys the East Wing? 🤔

A live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom.

[quoting a tweet from CaffeinatedLiha: “Reading books at night is self-care. The kind that ruins your sleep schedule but heals your soul.”]

It sounds crazy but I promise you: if you just put your phone aside and read for half an hour each night before bed, it will change your life.
