As a Black man, it’s not lost on me when the quiet parts get said out loud. Like this excerpt from Sarah Vowell from Michal Lewis’ ‘Who is Government’ compilation. Note the reference to homesteaders, and who wasn’t able to benefit from accessing land through that Act …

The Dept of Education went from dead in the water to the zombie virus in ‘Last of Us,’ functioning as a bounty hunter to a) garnish wages to collect student debt b) target accrediting agencies it deems out of lock step on this administrations shape shifting definitions of ‘qualification’

Preventative Heath. The future’s biggest market is more accurately pricing negative externalities. It’s absolutely essential. I have thoughts on how to consider doing this work.
A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Not enough media outlets are covering the actual impacts of lost work, and the family and mental health consequences. The folks who are navigating much of these realities don’t have time to do meme dumps. And the stark reality is a reminder that some folks really don’t know sh**

Well there it is! With all precincts reporting, Dem James Malone beats Republican Josh Parsons 50-49 to flip Pennsylvania's ultra-ancestrally GOP #SD26! That shrinks the GOP margin in the Senate to 27-23 and is a 16-point overperformance compared to 2024. Our Big Board -->

A political science professor during Trump's first term argued against use of the word fascism. He was skeptical that the Trump crew had that kind of power. "I have since turned out to be wrong," said Corey Robin to On the Media.

Good on him for recognizing that. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...

"the BFS's payments IT systems come closest to embodying the Trumpian vision of the 21st C unitary executive fisc: all spending managed via a single spreadsheet, run from a single machine under the control of one person. A big, beautiful fiscal death star for the galactic emperor"

Of everything in those Signal texts, this struck me as most illuminating. The playbook is assistance for extraction. Be forewarned current “leadership” doesn’t provide assistance or exercise generosity for its own sake. It’s all for exploitation of position and resource. The quiet part, out loud.

An old Twitter thread from two years ago.

Feels salient today.
