And now a message from the White House... Good Morning Amerikkka. How are you?

Racism is bad for the economy. Economic growth stems from either increases in labor productivity or population size. Shrinking the population (and removing productive workers) shrinks the economy BY DEFINITION. People like Stephen Miller love racism more than economic prosperity 6/x

The Trump Administration is trying to forge a personalist authoritarian regime and honestly the conditions for success are there. However, they're *way* out over their skis at the moment. Their pure recklessness is making their path to success way harder 1/x

Farage and the US Religious Right are celebrating policy wins here - and there's been a huge rise in prosecutions for abortion.

This painted drawing stands out a mile as the best of my dozen from this morning’s #drawingisfree
