Thought this year we’d get by without one of these posts… but then came Trump’s late-night “Happy Thanksgiving” rant. His dangerous rhetoric continues to divide this country when we need unity the most.

Willfully ignoring science - especially in vital areas like health, safety, defense, education, climate, and the economy - is a recipe for disaster. We are crippling our nation by dumbing down our children, just to coddle those who are fearfully insecure in their religious faith.

Schrodinger's Immigrants
Immigrants too lazy to work & stealing all the jobs.Destitute while buying up all the housing. Military police to keep us safe but guns because the police can't keep us safe.
Its a core tenet of fascism. The enemy is both the weakest & strongest when convenient.

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.
Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.
Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The only way we will win a better world is not only leftism for America, but internationalism. “Researchers who have anything to do with China should have their careers ended” is a bipartisan position, and it can’t be anymore. If we live in a fragmented world, it will burn in our lifetime

Right wing fascists would have us believe that hatred of Netanyahu and his government is antisemitic. It isn't, any more than hatred of Trump and his catch-farts is hatred of all Americans. Evil should be called out wherever it appears.

Saw a perfect gift for my kid's 18th birthday. It ships from Japan. Cost $159.
Tariff was $42.70. I had to pay it. Not Japan, not the Japanese seller, not even an importer. Me.
But somehow the government's demand I pay it 26.9% of a gift's value was, they say, not a "revenue-raising domestic tax."

![cies. See ibid. Plaintiffs thus retreat to the improbable position that this case does not actually involve foreign policy at all. See VOS Br. 45 (asserting that “the government uses ‘national security’ and ‘foreign policy’ too loosely” because “tariffs tax Americans”); States Br. 37 (the tariffs “impos[e] taxes on domestic importers”); Learning Br. 46 (“[A]t issue here is taxation.”). That argument again falsely conflates domestic revenue-raising taxes and regulatory tariffs on foreign imports, and it also impugns plaintiffs’ own interpretation.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.
The president and his allies came after him.
Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.
He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.
His politics can win anywhere.
