I say give yourself an hour or two to feel that way, then let it move through you and get back out there. There were times when our ancestors would have felt that way too, but though the arc bends slowly it always bends.

Love her.
At an @EnergyCommerce hearing yesterday, @linakhanFTC sounded the alarm about the on-going merger wave. 🚨
“I am deeply concerned that the current merger boom will further exacerbate deep asymmetries of power across our economy, further enabling abuses.”

If past progressives had put “pragmatism first” there would never have been abolition, women’s suffrage, unions, child labor laws or civil rights legislation. Putting pragmatism first creates a pattern of chronic failure under the guise of making a sophisticated effort to succeed

Please read this. It’s important. “Espionage Act, a law passed in 1917, was designed to prosecute those who passed on state secrets to a hostile power, not those who expose to the public government lies and crimes.”scheerpost.com/2021/07/27/he…
