You send one of ours to the hospital; we send one of yours to the morgue. Maybe then the league will do something about it

A chunk of Gen X are white working class and blame immigrants and DEI for their own failures. 2nd chunk got rich in finance and tech, listen to Rogan, & like to bitch about welfare queens, immigrants and DEI at their kids' hockey games. I'm in the 3rd chunk that has critical thinking skills

The linked article is a must read - showing what America can be. It's not radical but we'll need to tear a wall down to achieve it
Great data analysis of what would US would be like if it were just an average country in its cohort of wealthy democracies, e.g. “the nation that would exist if our democracy functioned to serve the public rather than protect the already powerful”. [kottke.org]
The America That Could Be
The main point of Adam Bonica’s post The Wall Looks Permanent Until It Falls is about the optimism of this moment: that the US could be ripe for a Berlin Wall-falling moment that opens the door for a better future. I’m n

My parents raised 6 kids on a single income. My wife and I were able to raise 3 with her mostly being home (she worked 1 or 2 Saturdays per month per diem as a nurse). So grateful for it but it's just impossible to do that today. Housing alone puts it out of reach for most
anecdotally most of the people i know who want babies but don’t have them just can’t afford it. and the closest this country can get to fixing that is trump’s half baked and almost certainly corrupt “investment accounts” full of pocket change that the kid can’t touch for almost 20 years. clownery
The US and other countries face aging, shrinking populations. Conservatives have shaped debate over the issue. Some liberals say it's time for progressives to weigh in. n.pr/3NH3yso

If you still support Trump right now, you are profoundly ignorant or a bad person. Or both

Non-negotiable IMO. Tear it down day 1 of a democratic admin. Rebuild the East wing and the Jackie Kennedy garden
It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

I got a mild case four years ago. Caught it quickly and got on the antivirals quickly. But still today will get little twinges of burning, tingling on my back every once in a while. That was a mild case.

I've twice explained to spouse that there is no peace plan. Rather, there's a plan to limit the blowback when Trump capitulates to Russia.
Trump will do it anyway: Trump is going to reverse sanctions bc he wants the grift.
He's just trying to limit blowback for Russia Russia Russia.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

My grandather served in the Coast Guard. And he served in WWII transporting troops and supplies. He and any other person who served would be horrified

Fair point. R leaders acquiesced. D leadership won’t. We’ll need to work harder to displace them. The answer remains to elect more and better Democrats

Agreed. But the Dem establishment may have more $ but they spend it foolishly. I think grass roots progressives like @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social and @jamestalarico.bsky.social who are getting no love from the Dem establishment can win and change things
