Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Thanks to Sen. @JulianCyr.bsky.social for calling out the need for new housing revenue in #MA in a recent @CWBeacon.bsky.social article. Meeting our state's housing needs requires ongoing investment from new sources. Read MassBudget's report for further analysis: buff.ly/fcwyiKL

OF THE EMPIRE
We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.
Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

Friday Video: Exactly Why the Cybertruck Sucks — Streetsblog USA
Unwind and let yourself hate on Elon Musk a little.
"Who exactly is buying these things?"
One detail: The exceptionally heavy weight qualifies the whole cost to be a tax write off.
Ten recalls in two years. Prices double promise. Range half.
Sales are flat lining and European safety rules are additional obstacle.

The Economy After the September Jobs Report
The September jobs report shows weak job growth, higher unemployment, and a cooling labor market driven mostly by healthcare gains.
The September jobs report is hardly encouraging if you consider that the large majority of paltry job creation has been coming from the same health care sector that is soon to run into the wood chipper of GOP Medicaid cuts cepr.net/publications... @deanbaker13.bsky.social

Pennsylvania decouples from new federal corporate tax breaks, saving itself $1.1 billion next year and will instead improve affordability for its residents by boosting the EITC. Is #MApoli watching?
