Meritocracy is a myth
It’s only been 7 weeks? JFC
Trump and his administration are intentionally creating uncertainty about their plans to impact trade with our neighbors. As a result, the threat of losing American jobs and industry remains - and the stock market is plummeting as a result as recession fears rise.

Everything is terrible, but look at NYT using a tape diagram so viewers can visualize these values! Did they hire a math teacher?
A Republican budget plan that cleared the House this week would enable Congress to pass much of President Trump’s legislative agenda at once. Here’s what’s in the bill, which is headed to the Senate.
The House Wants to Pass Trump’s Agenda in One Big Bill. Here’s What’s in It.
The G.O.P. bill would extend tax cuts and almost certainly make big reductions to programs serving the poor. Passing it may be hard, though.

Feels like it's time to re-recirculate this!
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️🩹
Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

It would be really great if more white people would remove their heads from their asses before casting their ballots.
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
