Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans.

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

In reviewing the Epstein emails, I was repulsed by the heartless arrogance of Epstein himself, but I must admit I was taken by the polite civility of Ghislaine Maxwell.

This is sobering but precise.

From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.
Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

The smartest people in the world today are not focused on solving the world's problems.

No, they are all employed specifically to grab an increasing share of our collective attention, by whatever algorithmic magic they can muster.

I think that this is the essence of our global polycrisis.

If this number were true, it would amount to about ~0.4% of 42 million recipients.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

ACA is now a public fight. People being rehired w back pay via GOP efforts. DOGE-fired may be rehired w back pay. Grijalva seated, will sign. Clean CR means everything is status quo from before shutdown on benefits. So shutdown failed to move anything but reopening is moving mountains. Imagine that.
