Been wandering around the internet looking for inspiring words about the importance of the rule of law for society to survive. Not sure what could possibly have inspired that.
Found this citation that really resonated with me.

Trump's SNAP freeze is inexcusable and his legal claims contradict each other.
In other cases, Trump claims unilateral power to impound and divert funds at will.
But on SNAP, he claims he can't use existing food aid funds?
It's clear Trump is using hunger as shutdown leverage.

Authoritarianism Has A Cost: How Trump’s Abuses Of Power Are Harming The Economy

Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

Great thread on the explosion of antisemitism coming out masked as just hating Netanyahu.
1. I don’t want to call this a full mask-off moment for Candace, because the mask has been off for a while.
But let’s just say this is taking things to a whole other level.

Don't blame the Fed for the housing crisis. They are only keeping interest rates high to prevent tariff inflation. That would be like blaming your doctor for the adverse effects of chemo when they are just trying to treat your cancer.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

#RFKJr and his war on autistic people is literally Nazi shit.
No, seriously, this was the first step in the Holocaust. The Nazis started with the chronically ill and disabled, labeling them as a drain on the nation, then murdering tens of thousands of them in a trial run for extermination camps.

Good backstory. Of greater concern might be this part:
Turner says it’s a “real concern” that the Trump administration will eventually attempt to exert greater political control over the task force and its recommendations.
