Well said

The basic problem with the idea of the free market is the same as with the idea of God

Whoever is in power claims the free market is on their side & claims the conditions keeping them in power are free

In a free world of course the market is free

In an imperial world not even the emperor is free

Not content with addressing the German far right AfD party, Musk today addressed the Italian far right Lega party, led by the pro-Putin, anti-gay, anti-Islam Matteo Salvini.

Musk’s politics are pretty clear - and pretty dangerous.

Trump has shown Veterans and active military members that he doesn’t give a funk about us time and time again. This is just one more example to add to the list.
🤬🤬🤬

That’s why he found Jesus

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. Add in the pandemic, and he oversaw the third-biggest deficit increase of any president.

In 2018, Trump tweeted: "Because of Tariffs we will be able to start paying down large amounts of the $21 trillion in debt that has been accumulated."

That’s not how it played out.

That’s what I thought but I couldn’t recall that I wasn’t sure if that was always the message

Zealots and fundamentalists are the same. They all want revaluations to happen so they can bring the end times here. Makes me sick and disgusted. And it makes no sense because they have been preaching this stuff for decades.

Believers in the holiness of the Bible generally support Trump by overwhelming margins

Pick any narrative from the Bible

Who is the Trump character?

That’s why

If you think it’ll stop at Columbia and Harvard, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t go beyond universities to infiltrate all schools, you’re wrong. If you think it won’t demand compliance at media, medical, and non-profit organizations, you’re wrong. Fascism is here. Fight it.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

That’s funny coming from him.

Graduating From Dead Mom University In this op-ed, Lindsay Lee Wallace explores grief, and how no amount of success in school or work could protect her from it.

RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous.
I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

America is the wealthiest country in the world

And it is one of the most unequal

For this unhappy convergence, the people of America have always tended to blame everyone in the world except for the individuals actually responsible

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
