As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

If “maha” were more than cynical sloganeering, we would see historic investment in active transportation and in safety. We’re sadly getting the opposite.

Former nursing home executive and convicted fraudster Joseph Schwartz was pardoned by Trump earlier this month.
Schwartz secured the pardon after paying two other convicted fraudsters nearly $1M to lobby Trump on his behalf.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Of course, it’s bs from the carnival barker. No “doge” dividend, a yawning deficit, “maha” that claws back active transportation funding to keep American sedentary 😄
Bessent: The $2,000 divided could come in in lots of forms. It could be just the tax decreases
Translation: You’re never getting those $2,000 checks.

Interesting to see an advertisement with a massive #electrification battery bank next to a #regeneration straw house* article in "science and life" magazine from 1921?

Right now, freight data is painting a stark picture: The U.S. economy is entrenched in a goods recession. While consumer spending on services might be holding steady, the movement of physical goods—the lifeblood of manufacturing, retail, and industrial sectors—has ground to a halt.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?
TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want
