Shoutout to Only Poems for the kindest personalized poetry rejection I’ve ever received. They clearly go all in on considering their authors and you should send work there because you know it’s getting a fair shake. While it smarts to get that close it also smarts less because of kindness.

If they make it to where there are less jobs, people will have a harder time quitting jobs that abuse stuff like labor laws. Factor in health insurance going up and how workplace insurance is tied to employment and you begin to see the indentured servitude the techno-fascists need. They need workers
It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.
Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.
Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.
Glad everything worked out for them.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

New in PN: Get ready for the next big bailout
"What this means is that the farmers will be insulated at least somewhat from the damage Trump’s foolish trade war did to them; in other words, they’ll get a bailout. The rest of us will pay for it. And the economy will get no benefit at all."

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown

In effect: "We are explicitly threatening to starve Americans to force a budget deal"
Leavitt: "They want food assistance programs for women and children and impoverished communities to continue going out the door. All of that will come to an end if Democrats vote against this CR that Republicans are proposing."

“Your enemy isn’t across; your enemy is up.”
We’ve been divided for too long. The rich and elite continue to drive wedges between us so they can gain even more power and wealth.
We cannot do this anymore. We the people must unite, in peace and solidarity with one another, for the sake of America.

Funny thing about getting any type of collection out in the world is you go quiet for a bit. At least I do. Maybe you hyper focus so much on the process of it you divert resources from what puts words on the page. It’s nice when they begin to drip drip in again.
