What would the US look like if we went back to a 1975 income distribution? Everyone in the bottom 90% of income earners could have an extra $23,000/year. Most of our problems start with accelerating income inequality. Fix that and a lot of our other economic problems are much easier to manage.
It's the inequality, stupid!

Not only is this reminiscent of the Iraq/WMD hoax, but thinking foreign bombs will liberate a country is misguided and at odds with recent historical context. How effectively did we liberate Afghanistan, where girls can no longer go to school or even talk in public?

It's sad to know US scientists invented the most sophisticated weather forecasting models in the world, the satellites and instruments to measure atmospheric conditions, and an advanced alert system to warn the public of coming disasters, and the Trump administration is destroying it all.

So, if I’m reading this right: They gutted the office that runs the government’s award-winning, in-house HR and staffing software, and now they’ve inked a sole-source, no-bid contract so that a private company on proprietary software can do what the office of civil servants did on in-house software
Workday gets contract from US agency behind DOGE's staff cuts without competitive tender
The federal HR agency at the heart of billionaire Trump advisor Elon Musk's efforts to slash the federal workforce says it has awarded a contract for a new cloud-based HR platform to Workday without seeking bids from rivals.

Police are incapable of shame and self-reflection.

Police will NEVER be swayed by protests, slogans, chants, signs.

Effectice tactics involve adding complexity, time, and resources to their planning & operational rhythm.

Classic insurgency tactics against a superior force. Classic for a reason.

Now: NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN RELEASED FROM CECOT.

As far as I'm concerned this raises the ante from concentration camp to extermination camp.

That's us. Here in Trump's USA, we are sending people to extermination camps. Period.

Own it.

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."
