Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi’s refusal to answer key questions during the Senate oversight hearing is an answer in itself. Her omissions could be out of fear, given that several people who lied under oath on Trump’s behalf during his first term were later convicted.

Prices are rising, job growth is slowing, and analysts are predicting stagnant economic growth — largely due to Trump’s tariffs, his attempt to take over the Fed, and his deportations.

I fear that America is headed towards the dread trap of stagflation.

It’s unsurprising that Eugene police have been crediting all their successes to license-plate readers, EFF’s @tsnvaa.bsky.social told @lookout-es.bsky.social; police often do that when Flock contracts are the subject of public outrage. “That is play-for-play from the playbook.”
Voices grow louder in debate over license-plate reader technology
Three dozen speakers opposed to Flock license-plate readers spoke at a recent Eugene City Council meeting, while Eugene police have touted use of the technology in making arrests.
