if you're following TX redistricting news and you saw republicans won't let democrats who left the state get paid through direct deposit and you saw jokes that they barely get paid anyway and you're wondering why, it's because TX is set up so only well-off people can afford to be state lawmakers

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

Something getting lost in all this ICE bullsh*t is that private prison companies donated millions of dollars to the Tr*mp campaign. In return, he promised to fill their beds/quotas. That’s why he has ICE hellbent on arresting people left & right w/o due process. It’s all about 💰

It's not that I don't get what you're saying.
It's that the Supreme Court is treating the clearly unlawful sending of a person to a foreign slave camp as the status quo to be preserved while they deliberate.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

As listeners to my show last night noted, Trump wants a recession or even a depression because he and his wealthy oligarchs can make even more money. In every economic downturn, the rich get richer. This is all for them:
With the economy slowing, GOP Pres Herbert Hoover signed in 1930 the Smoot-Hawley Tariff that imposed massive tariffs on imports. Economists warned Hoover not to-He didn't listen. Other countries responded by imposing tariffs on US. Result was the Great Depression. This is what Trump wants now.
