In the article below, written weeks ago, I encouraged folks to look deeply at Trump’s pardons if they want to know the future. Charles Kushner was one of those pardons. Like most, it was orchestrated by Jared Kushner and his network.
"The litmus test of whether the US is an entrenched mafia state has always been Kushner."

My favorite thing about bluesky is we can disagree about stuff like Garland, but no one is a huge asshole about it. Everyone is super-nice and people make genuine points and ask legit questions. Thanks for that!!

I will die on this hill, but the best way to fix poverty is to give poor people money, no strings attached.
"Work requirements" and all that crap accomplish nothing. They're designed to make the rest of us feel superior to poor people.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

A lot of this stuff has also been revealed in the past, including:

2. Part of why he left Canada was because he felt that S Africa was leading the fight for "White Christian Civilization" against Jewish bankers.

Texas and Georgia, two states where women are dying from Trump abortion bans, have both effectively disbanded official reviews of maternal mortality.
This is what 'returning abortion to the states' means - women die with no accountability or acknowledgment.

The Democratic establishment in the form of President Joe Biden bailed out the Teamsters' pensions with VP Kamala Harris casting the deciding vote.
That wasn't just empathy, that was literally money in their pockets.
Miss me with Dems don't care about (white) working people.

And (B), while this is slightly more vibes-based, I think the new Democratic establishment has failed to recreate the Obama coalition largely because of a lack of empathy for working people — and saying, effectively, “sucks for y’all, you biffed it, now suffer the consequences” ain’t gonna do it.

Women are fucking dying in abortion ban states thanks to a lack of empathy from Republicans - Georgia and Texas just dismissed their maternal mortality committee to even count them - so miss me with the 'understand' part
this is one of the most surreal parts of seeing pundits and analysts suggest that we need to understand and relate to republicans, because anyone who actually spends time around them knows they are all losing their fucking minds

“Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And … foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.”
President-elect Trump is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort, a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term. BensingerFahrenthold www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/u...

Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.
