It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Given that Elon is the new poster boy for the Brown Shirts, let's all take a moment to remember the ideology he is propping up.

In about 12 hours the nightmare begins.
Hold your friends and family close. Try to protect your communities and your sanity. All empires fall and madness can’t reign forever. Work toward that brighter day as we walk together through this valley of darkness.

One man had a dream of unity, justice & equality. Another dreams of being seen as something he’s not. On this day, let’s honor the legacy of MLK Jr.—a leader who built bridges, not walls. Choose light over noise, hope over chaos. They can’t stop the dream when we stand together.

3 things about this message that greeted millions of Americans on TikTok today:
1) the shamelessness of Trump who just U-turned on his opposition to TikTok.
2) the shamelessness of these tech companies, sucking up to Trump.
3) the fecklessness of Biden who gave Trump this win.

AND ALSO ban private equity from buying up existing inventory and turning them into rentals/airbnb’s/holding them vacant to increase portfolio value by artificially limiting supply.
The growing unaffordability of housing due to massive under-building is breathtaking.
It now takes an income of $117,000 to afford a median-priced home. Median income is $84,000.
It’s unsustainable. It’s creating instability & empowering political extremists.
WE NEED TO BUILD MANY MORE HOMES.
