Lot of days I miss my colleagues at Patriot Act. Today especially. Would've been an incredible Wednesday to walk into that office.

guy said, β€œDo you like Marx?”

I said, β€œI haven’t met him.”

Guy said, β€œNo, no, he’s dead.”

β€œWow, what happened?”

β€œNo, no, he died long ago.”

I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, β€œWhy are you asking me if he died long ago?” 

β€œNo, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” 

I said, β€œSounds amazing.”

I’m giving you a sense of how naΓ―ve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx.

BS: The FBI.

MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

Trump turned an outpouring of respect for Kirk into a coliseum of hate The throngs who braved heat, darkness and expense to mourn Charlie Kirk were rewarded with grotesque MAGA saber-rattling.

Wrote about the real people who spent money and time and hope coming to Arizona for the Charlie Kirk memorial. Decent people simply inhabit a different reality from what Trump and Steven Miller pedaled

The US capital is being flooded with military troops at the direct order of the president and media is barely talking about, because the president didn't say "I am doing authoritarianism" but "the military is here to fight crime"

I am not an economist but at a guess, I think this comes from the interplay between β€œmassive tax on imported produce” and β€œrandomly grab the people who pick crops in the US and put them in concentration camps” πŸ€”
