WaPo editorial says solution to "debt problem" is not to tax billionaires, but to cut Social Security & Medicare and get government out of the way of the giant corporations so they can further harvest the public - benefitting the billionaires.

Lowry piloted National Review's "Against Trump" issue in 2015, and has spent the last ten years eating his shit.
Reminds me of Oscar Wilde's response to a hack writer who shrugged, "after all, a man must eat": "In your case I fail to see the necessity."
Blocking Trumpist voter-suppression efforts
The fight against the Trump regime’s attempt to rig the vote is key for US democracy this year.

MPLS was a great moral and practical victory for a new Trump-era resistance, but it was only the end of the beginning
15,000 new masked goons. 150 new ICE offices in every state, and a national network of warehouse concentration camps

Today’s idea of things that would be good to happen but won’t: Trump’s State of the Union Address for this year is scheduled for Feb. 24. It would be great to see the Democrats boycott the thing. And invite Bruce Springstten to sing “Streets of Minneapolis” for them.

At the same time ICE is "ending operations" in Minneapolis, the agency is actively spending billions in our tax dollars to buy warehouses for concentration camps that can hold tens of thousands of human beings
They won't be filled without many more Minneapolis-sized raids. So nothing to celebrate
Rich people think they live in a higher tier of society full of better and more brilliant people, but it’s actually just the same society except the people have more money to waste and lose. So much of what they do is just wealth-induced hallucination

Each time Trump declares that his goal is to “nationalize” the election—not for the greater good, but for his own political interests—the stakes become clearer, writes @brennancenter.org of @mawaldman.bsky.social.

From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.
