There is literally a 20 year old West Wing episode about Molly Orchansky and exactly why the poverty line is a problem, and this is why it’s important to take humanities and the arts seriously. It is often oracular, because it’s written by research nerds with an obsession for human behavior.
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

Amen, brother. #ai #chatgpt “Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”
“History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost…those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students & to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write & think when others once risked their lives & died for the freedom to do so”

So Dick Cheney is dead.
I remember how much I loathed him in the oughts. I used him as the one I had most difficulty with in my loving-kindness Buddhist practice.
These days, compared to Trump, he’s down right neutral in my mind.
And that’s not due to my practice.

Fascists rely on fear, apathy & isolation. But teachers are the antidote—creating a safe, welcoming place for students to learn critical thinking skills in a community of peers. Thank you to Sharon and The Beacon for having me to discuss Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.

I think this is the best piece I've read so far about the large number of elites who basically can't deal with the situation we are in. it doesn't compute and they keep hunting for an exit that doesn't exist

Tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel monologue was a watershed moment for politics and free speech. He handled it with grace, dignity and humility. The more Trump comes after these people the less popular he will become.
Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.
