New in PN: The Trump/Musk fight is why we say "No Kings"
"Musk's staggering wealth allowed him to shepherd a chosen candidate into office, install himself atop the government informally, and systematically destroy it from within. That’s not what America is supposed to be."

Today's protests are about reestablishing a government of laws, not unaccountable oligarchs.

Lesson of the day: don’t take this work stuff too seriously.
My work mom passed Sunday. Her service was yesterday. Before she was even laid to rest, her employer terminated her in the system and is likely looking to fill her role already.
Again, don’t take these jobs too seriously.

Same w/my dad too. Vietnam vet, 2 tours, known exposure to agent orange, and all these years later he still suffers from PTSD. How invested can I be when I grew up seeing what happened to him?
🤣 Yep, same here with my Dad. I 100% support any Black person leaving the fuck out of this country if they want. Most white Americans don't want to change, so why should I be emotionally invested here lol.
Im supposed to feel loyalty to a country that wouldnt let my daddy eat a sandwich next to a white man when he came home from TWO TOURS of Vietnam?
Eat my dick up, bitch I dont care about staying here lmaoooo

In 2012, Kansas pushed through massive tax cuts for the rich, promising a "trickle down effect".
Spoiler: it didn't work.
Revenues collapsed. Education got crushed. Economic growth slowed. The state’s credit rating got downgraded. Twice.
Trickle-down economics is a fantasy with a body count.

I just heard Kamala Harris speak tonight.
She should’ve been our leader. I’m going to have a hard time forgiving people for voting for the hellscape we’re in now.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

Every few months someone rediscovers the humanities and goes “wait… this has politics in it??”
Yes honey, we study power, meaning, culture, resistance… not rocks.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson?
“You are worthy.”
That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been.
