New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"
"Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."
Condolences for your loss. 💐 I know seeing that had to add to your pain and grief.

My work mom passed Sunday. Her service was yesterday. Before she was even laid to rest, her employer terminated her in the system and is likely looking to fill her role already.
Again, don’t take these jobs too seriously.
Oh I’m so sorry you experienced that 😢

Spoiler: it didn't work.
Revenues collapsed. Education got crushed. Economic growth slowed. The state’s credit rating got downgraded. Twice.
Trickle-down economics is a fantasy with a body count.
What is it about this universe that a good and decent man faces an extreme form of cancer while a hateful tyrant roams free to inflict more destruction every day?

She should’ve been our leader. I’m going to have a hard time forgiving people for voting for the hellscape we’re in now.
Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Yes honey, we study power, meaning, culture, resistance… not rocks.
The Nazis took notes from America and how the country treated/passed laws regarding Black Americans citizenship/rights. Nazis lawyers were impressed by Jim Crow laws.

“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social
Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.
