An unregulated market has done more to create inflation than has anything else. It leaves us in a situation where we have have no capacity to absorb an emergency, with all sacrifice left to the average person to just deal with.

Wow. Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
The Court That Dark Money Built had already wreaked havoc in our law. Even before they got to 6, they ran up eighty 5-4 partisan decisions benefiting big Republican donor interests. Now, they have set about destroying precedent left and right. nitter.vloup.ch/i/broadcasts/1yN…

Then f—ing do it please?
The SCOTUS decision to severely limit @EPA’s ability to reduce pollution under the Clean Air Act will have devastating consequences unless Congress takes action.
With science-affirming majorities in Congress, we have a window of opportunity to offset the damage that’s been done

Do people (Americans) realize the next generation of high-speed rail coming to market could whisk you from the center of Chicago to the center of NYC in 2.5 hours with no airport hassle and we are literally buying highway expansions instead of this?

Military industrial complex to Pentagon: “Hey you guy need this newest version of equipment.” (Which we don’t)
Pentagon: “What will we do with the old stuff?”
MIC: “Send it to the boys back home.”
Thus the creation of America’s militarized police.
Biden can easily shut down a Pentagon program that’s given police more than $1.7 billion in combat gear—including over $120 million since Jan 2021—with an executive order. He still refuses to do so, despite the urging of activists: stephensemler.substack.com/p…

It’s not enough to fight fascism. If you don’t deliver on the promise of democracy then fascism will find its way in.
