Yeah, one thing my book will explain is how come it made sense to rollback the power of the state to intervene on behalf of citizens (whether as workers or consumers) and for regulations to work in people's favor (as opposed to being in favor of industry). (Small 🧡)

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

The fact that the Nazi tattoo has not been immediately disqualifying shows everything about our current moment.

The last German war reparations for world war 1 was in 2010.

Oh my, that’s so well said. Hallowing not only hollows out the person but the movement

Donald Trump has destroyed the economy and started a pointless war. But the wine mom next door still says "Latinx" sometimes. I have never felt more politically homeless.

The U.S. economy lost jobs in 0 of the 48 months Joe Biden was president. It has lost jobs in 6 of the 14 months of Trump's second term.

Once again, the president actually has little effect on gas prices.

Except for when they start preemptive wars in the Middle East
