According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Past is prologue.
In 1933, during the Great Depression, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to overthrow the US government and install a fascist dictator to protect their own interests.
And everything that led to it feels way too familiar right now.
This is not a history lesson, it’s a warning.

When I message Palestinian friends, I often write that I "have no more words."
I will never use that expression again without thinking of this brilliant essay by Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi, a 19-year-old writer and poet in Gaza.

In Gaza, We Are Literally Losing Our Ability to Speak
The human mind, faced with relentless pain, erects invisible barricades. Here, amid genocide, one of them is the ability to express our trauma out loud.

The only conclusion left is that the administration just wants to kill people because it makes them feel good and powerful, and because they are white supremacist eugenicists.

Black women are the most educated demographic in America.
More degrees per capita than any other group, including white men and white women.
And still, they’re among the most underpaid.
More educated, less paid. Overqualified, underestimated, and undervalued. Every time.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
