Why do you wish that? I agree that this seems implausible, but then again, the so-called ‘intellectuals’ in the tech fash crowd want to turn the poors into biodiesel. I don’t think Americans are sufficiently alarmed by the institutional collapse of their democracy and the norms driving oligarchy.

I would love LOVE to get one more person signed up through my referral link this week.
I do genuinely love this little service--A bit of light-investing in bonds and stocks with automated roundups so you don't even have to think about it--it's super "set it and forget it" and that's the fun imo.

Anyway, unrelated to anything at all, if anyone wants to join Acorns and get into some light investing using my referral link that gives us both some free cash, that might be kind of cool rn: acorns.com/share/?share...

About 3 wks ago I got call from local PD. Asking for donation to Back the Blue as I had always donated in the past. Someone came on line after recorded msg, said he was Chief and thanks me for past donations. I asked if our PD would support ICE in roundups, he said yes, I said "Then fuck off".

“Cardinal Blase Cupich, head of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has twice told interviewers in recent weeks that priests in the archdiocese have been stopped by federal agents and asked to prove their immigration status — demands he said were ‘because of their color.’” www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...

I dunno, like maybe we ought to quit having immigrant/minority roundups conducted by an out of control, ravenous secret police, no matter who is in power? 🤔 What do you think Hill dawg? No? Seriously, wtf is wrong with centrist Dems that they think their base just wants reform and not abolition? 🤦♀️🤬🤬

(Rodger & I also share a newsletter editor in @louisbien.bsky.social so I’m probably biased in that direction too bc Louis rocks).

Yeah, the closest thing I think we have are the video updates we usualy get from Elliott Payne &/or Jason Chavez &/or Doron Clark; seems like one of them usually does something toward evening. The mspwhistles account does a daily post but those don't cover a lot. Racket is doing daily link roundups.

Biden's debate night was a hoped for gift from the billionaire class of media owners.They got their wish and everyday decent Americans have been paying the price every single day.Many paying with their lives with the end of ACA and the advent of Trump's secret police roundups.

Trump/Republican policies are killing our farm workers' businesses. Tariffs have resulted in some markets (e.g., soybean) nearly vanishing, lost to other countries as trade partners developed long-term alternate solutions. Skilled farm-workers got chucked out with ICE roundups. #TrumpFumbled USA.
