It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican.
It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong.
Millions are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up.
The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

Socialism sounding pretty good these days
Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"
Social Security - "That's socialism!"
Debt free education - "That's socialism!"
Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"
$1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%...
"That's just how it is."

After a small fire, I had to repaint my office and replace the carpet. This took me about two months of putting in a few hours a day to clear the room, repaint, remove the old carpet, and install the new carpet. I’m glad this misadventure is almost over.

Probably in the top 10 premature and irresponsible takes I’ve seen. Now is not the time to celebrate victory. The fight has barely begun.
Bad things will still happen. Lives will be upended. But the coup, the quick strike to take over the government, is over. Trump lost, and the public is in the process of abandoning him. From me:

The Coup Has Failed
Trump’s falling approval ratings reveal an out-of-touch presidency, and have given space for allies to turn against him.

We also recently got a Costco membership for this reason. People are voting with their wallets. Avoid Target and Wal-Mart.
We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.”

@planetmoney.bsky.social Hi Planet Money, you spend a lot of time talking about inflation and other government economic indicators. What do you think of this story published on politico? Is it worth having an interview with the author and digging in?

Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.
Here’s why unemployment is higher, wages are lower and growth less robust than government statistics suggest.

The villain in Star Wars is fascism. It’s no secret. The Empire uniforms and beliefs were based on those of the Nazis. Because at the time of A New Hope, everyone agreed Nazis were bad guys.
