US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I’ve put some thought into this Comey indictment. Honestly, I don’t think it’s about Comey at all. I think it’s a pressure test. Comey was convenient, and the administration is testing the waters to see if this holds. If it does, buckle up! They couldn’t start with Cheney, Milley, Obama…

ICE has erected a gate to keep protesters out. They are blocking a public street, despite the Broadview Fire Department ordering ICE to tear it down.

Join us at 1930 Beach Street. 7-9 AM. Tell Broadview to tear this fence down.

Catholicism is at its best when it's a little Shinto. Come pray to the local unrecognized saint for some favors his spirit inhabits a magic well on a hillside next to a tiny thousand year old church

Sure, we can talk about the pros and cons of mail-in ballots, but what’s really bad is when a guy in office needs 1,000 FBI agents to search for his name in the Epstein files to cover up all of his child raping.

Why are states like Ohio sending national guard troops to DC to help fight crime when there are cities in Ohio with higher crime rates per capital than DC?????

I'm kinda tired of people acting surprised Taylor likes selling her music to us. You don't have to buy it, but at some point you do have to stop complaining about her being good at marketing.

Brown: In a state of 12 million people, half a million are going to lose their insurance.

People didn’t vote for that. They didn’t vote for higher grocery bills. They didn’t vote for veterans’ benefits being slashed. They didn’t vote for any of this.

Actual question: It has been only 72 hours since the disastrous puppeteer/puppet show in Anchorage.

Has there yet been a background story on how, and by whom, this emergency intervention of *eight* big-time world leaders was pulled together, over a weekend?

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

Decided to take one last trip of the year to the north woods and the big lake before I have to be back on campus for the year and in the stacks full time.

Feels very surreal in certain ways to be so remote knowing the country is falling to fascists.

Find beauty and peace where you can friends.

If pundits would like to talk about violence, a terrorist recently shot up the CDC and another assassinated Democratic officials in Minnesota but they sort of let both stories disappear

Not as threatening as motorbikes in DC I know but maybe we could circle back?

It's not time to be hopeless, but it's not time to wait for midterms to magically fix it. That's lost. It's going to be post World War II institution building kind of work. Eparution legale kind of work.

Someone asked so I'll share that I've been reading a lot about Vichy France (The Collaborator by Kaplan is a very good starting place) and US Reconstruction (Black Reconstruction in America by DuBois is an excellent primer) when I think about future work. Too early in my Brazil studies to rec.

All anybody to the left of “it should be legal to do Deathrace to immigrants” wants is someone who is going to go all out with what they believe in and that’s why Zohran is doing well and democrats broadly are as popular as childhood cancer.
