If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

America is a shared story of the quest toward the more perfect union
What an idea: America is always in motion, lost if perfection is attained but thriving in pursuit. Constant reforging makes America ageless, immortal
But Trump does not want to be more perfect

As the Trump administration prepares to issue reports about the integrity of state election systems, the public should be on the lookout for familiar tactics used by election deniers to spread false or misleading narratives.
Why Future Federal Reports on Election Security May Be Unreliable
By promoting an activist with a history of false election claims, the Department of Homeland Security is damaging its credibility.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

We should probably worry
less about what counts as pro-life in American discourse
and more about what counts as neo-paganism.
I’d start with the systemic vilification of compassion and mercy, all of which affects the poor and vulnerable, from the unborn to the abandoned elderly.

You can't raid and arrest everyone in an entire apartment building, or even legitimately get a warrant to do that, any more than you could for a whole neighborhood. That would be a general warrant. This is the most specific core the-British-did-it-to-us thing the Fourth Amendment is written to ban.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.
