Nearly burnt-out humanitarian and Indie author of some potentially terrible novels that no one seems to buy. I like them: Erga Omnes, The Sovereign Citizen Series (not what you think), Lightning Daughter, and a few others that might be meh.

I want to see a special payroll tax penalty for worker to C-Suite compensation in excess of 1:500.
For scale, anything more than $14.3m when lowest full-time worker is paid $14/hr is bad for the economy, society, and democracy.
Don't have to even fuck around with personal income tax brackets.

Bored and still unemployed, so will run an experiment on X to see what happens to a low-use/low-follower account under the new algorithm, when you simply ask grok to draft the tweets it wants to see and elevate.
Note: I had to tell it not to draft a crypto scam, bc it really seems to like those.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

There was a desk, a compilation of surfaces and cabinets that together served as a portable cubicle to fit neatly anywhere one might wish. The screen was on and a computer fan below it blew out stale air, hotter and somewhat dustier than the plastic plant in the corner suggested.

This is actually very interesting because it highlights what happens when a State loses it's authority (as distinct from power)
The abusive overreach with the ICE raids is making all federal law enforcement look dubious, so it no longer matters whether it's a legitimate fentanyl investigation.

All of Mpls - the millionaire PAC supporting Jacob Frey - is now attacking Omar Fateh & Jason Chavez for “attempting to stop” a fentanyl investigation; neither did any such thing. Both alerted community to ICE in the Feds’ raids - which even Frey called excessive. Just foul Trumpy stuff here.

Sir, I worked for USAID for 15 years, and I'm a military vet who spent time stationed at EUCOM and USINDOPACOM, where I helped provide humanitarian aid.
For the last ten years, I've helped relocate displaced Palestinians to America, Jordan, and Egypt.
Boots on the ground, Bitch.

2-1/2 years… Schwarzman (Blackstone) wanted to sell a business before senate investigation, so fired all top tier employees, while I was going through chemo. No jobs for a 60+ yo.

About to start month 5 of no work with 200+ applications out and only a handful of deadend interviews.
I’m just a spectator now, watching everything everywhere get worse and worse as rich shitheads celebrate misery.
What the fuck is this country actually doing anymore?

Y’know the best part about not listening to something for a very very long time is that you can get the chills all over again when you rediscover something amazing.

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

These are literally the modern era's "let them eat cakes" talking points.
Marie Antoinette didn't actually say it this crassly, she said something like cake is a viable alternative to bread for people suffering under the sudden price increases.

It's the prisoner's dilemma but the one asking for the key already promised to fuck over the one with the key when they asked for it in the first place.
Also, if you were raised by a narcissist, you learn that there is no point to playing along anymore, there will always be abuse and humiliation.

Dear fascists:
Threatening that we must either allow you to destroy our lives by not stopping you or else..
what?..
you'll..
destroy.. our lives?..
if we don't..
let you.. destroy our lives?
As threats go you...
do see now..
what your fate is against us..
right?
