In America, people being sick makes other people very wealthy

Same goes with crime and incarceration

It's a truly abhorrent system

I repeat, at the root of almost every problem our country faces, there is a profit incentive making things worse.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here β€œFAKE” and β€œfraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Education is the foundation of opportunity, and opportunity is the cornerstone of the American Dream.

These people evidently hate America.

I didn't actually appreciate the similarity until I looked it up today. Point being I don't think it's impossible to think it may not have come up.

That a soldier got drunk on leave and got an ill-advised tattoo with his fellow servicemen does not a Nazi make. The fact that he was not concerned about hiding it can also suggest he did not see it as a SS badge.

His interview on Pod Save America seemed reasonable enough. It's wild that people are so convinced by the oppo research from *checks notes* his 78 year old opponent's backers.

No one here has a bigger problem with the Dem party throwing a vet under the bus because "it's not his turn?"

Johnson is such a weasley, sniveling coward. He's also totally full of shit. He could totally swear Grijalva in anytime he wants but he's too much of a coward to do so. Meanwhile, the people of cd7 in Arizona continue to go without representation.

Yes, and the Patriot Act. It's long seemed evident that security is a great excuse to consolidate power at the cost of liberty.

The war on terror enabled the worst excesses of our country's power and laid the groundwork for our modern security state which may soon be turned on its own people.

Great thread about manufacturing and consumption in America.

Our lifestyles are propped up by exploiting cheap labor. Even if we wanted made in America, most could not afford the cost.

The modern American life is out of balance, unsustainable, and built on sand.

We have so much work to do...

At its core, civil disobedience was never intended to be radical β€” it was always designed, in times such as these, to expose the radical violence of civil obedience and to light the way to collective refusal to participate in that violence.

In the last 48 hours, right-wing election groups have submitted over 200,000 new comments to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) urging it to require Americans to show a passport or other citizenship documents when registering to vote. Please comment to oppose this before October 20! 1/3

When you remove any and all accountability for the rich and powerful for the harm they cause, don't be surprised when the victims of that harm take matters into their own hands.

I think Klein's point is more that there are still likely points of agreement with maga people that we can find, and if we just focus on how they're our enemy things can only get worse.

I hope our country finds a peaceful path forward, but I worry that things are going to get much worse.

Violence is ultimately a failure of communication, and Trump and his allies have made it pretty clear that they're not interested in dialogue - just power and control.

Lol no worries, NIMBYs are a problem in lots of places. Thought you might be talking about a larger policy concept or model.

We need more community and 3rd spaces and they need to be accessible when people can actually access them.

How do you define nbhd in this context?

@boycottcitizens.bsky.social pointed out on another post that a lot of GEO Group and Core Civic shares are actually held by institutions like state pension funds:

bsky.app/profile/boyc...

Another point of action is pressuring institutions to divest from such holdings.

Take it one step further, ban for-profit private detention facilities and prisons.

The power to deprive people of their liberty should be reserved to the state through due process.

The profit motives of private prisons creates perverse incentives antithetical to a free and just society.
