You sometimes hear people jump from “there’s no way to reason with MAGA”—I mostly agree—to notion that some version of war is inevitable. But another alternative to fruitless fake dialogue with MAGA is working to organize a bigger, more vibrant, more democratic, more beautiful culture.

Year to date under Donald Trump: a loss of 78,000 manufacturing job! That was what he ran on.
Crazy that people trust anything this snake oil salesman says!

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.
