"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."

John Kenneth Galbraith

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

#Ootd is this 1919 Paul Poiret velvet and satin dress with tulle embroidered with sequins. The low back ending with a bow and the switch from velvet to sequined thin straps are elegant and quite mesmerizing. Indeed, the back is more stunning than the front.

Maiden Castle circular for today’s dog walk. (Yes, there is a Maiden Castle prehistoric settlement in Durham; the Dorset one isn’t the only one). The autumn colours are glorious, but one strong winter gale will see them off. So pop out if you can and enjoy them while they last! #Durham 😊

It's obviously very cheaply done. But the bigger issue is it creates the vibe of a tacky hotel or conference center meeting room. Not the country's solemn source of presidential power.

Especially combined with that god awful fake gold filigree over the door the whole esthetic is an embarrassment.

"These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America," Roosevelt thundered. "What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjugation; and against dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike."

Accepting the 1936 nomination, FDR made a speech the language of which Zohran Mamdani mirrored last night:

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power.“

This is Democratic language.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

It's remarkable how until the courts ruled the excuses for letting SNAP lapse all centered on their "hands being legally tied."

But this immediately changed AFTER. Now it's all about still needing to follow some unspecified process ... or this typical horseshit about "waste, fraud and abuse."
