It goes back even farther than that. The Powell Memo in 1971 gave BigBiz permission to be ruthless. It was insanely anti-worker, anti-environmental, anti-anything that benefits regular people, and very pro-business.

I'm feeling hopeful tonight for the first time in a year. Mamdani won! A Muslim DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST born in Africa will be mayor of NYC! Mikie Sherrill held Jersey's gov seat, Spanberger shifted EVERY COUNTY IN VA to the left, and Prop 50 passed in CA. What a good day.
Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate

At the No Kings 2 in Austin, a group of Mexican people were parked along the route, yelling, "Thank you! Gracias!" as we all went by. One of them was dressed as a gorgeous blue Santa Muerte, the Mexican patron saint of healing and protection.

There’s a lot of fear in our country right now.
But Día de los Muertos reminds us that love casts out fear.
This is the Texas I know. This is the Texas we’re fighting for.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Socialism for the rich. Bootstraps for the rest of us.
Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:
$100 billion
Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:
$100 billion
One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
Why?

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Donald also stopped food deliveries to food banks. That anyone can't see this is intentional is maddening.
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

If you mean that apology, then show it by fixing the damage you did. Go tell those who voted for him because you tacitly gave them permission with your mocking of us. FIX IT. Otherwise, this is just more performative bullshit from yet another white man unaffected by the damage he's done.

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.
