The Reagan counterrevolution only deepened America's problems. It turned the country against government and against taxation. Remember, after eight Republican years in the 1950s, with George Humphrey as Secretary of the Treasury, the highest marginal tax rate was 91 percent. Contrast that with the situation last year when the rich acted as if raising it from 28 to 32 percent were the end of Western Civilization. So overwhelming is that opposition, that politicians who privately see no other alternative to raising taxes, remain silent, because to favor tax hikes publicly would be political suicide.

the past is another country

Trump's mob-boss vocabulary is so embarrassing..."the easy way or the hard way", "don't have the cards", "no more Mr. Nice Guy". Such a poser.

What could be wrong about monitoring nuclear weapons, inspections, for all nations so equipped?

eating dry Cheerios and recalling when my toddlers would drop food on purpose and then smile when I picked it up. jerks!

The fact that the majority of cops are right wingers is underappreciated in our political discourse.

The role of race/class in cop cognition is overwhelming.

Help me please:

IRAN terrible regime has murdered 1000s of its own citizens. So we don't want Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

ISRAEL terrible regime has murdered 1000s of citizens from neighbouring regions, sickly tries to legitimize, has displaced millions BUT THEY are ok to have nuclear weapons?

Wasn't there a great American story about a heroic airman in the Iranian mountains, blah, blah, sup'm, sup'm? Trump's relentless "baffle-'em-with-bullshit" makes it hard to follow things. Maybe someone should tell him. Oh...

They laughed at us because people were stupid enough to vote him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

If you're wanting to learn about the Israeli state, look at maps of the region, decade by decade, starting in 1950. Maps tell stories that can't possibly lie to you. Trust them.

The sun just came out.

Listening to jazz on the AirPods.

And BOOM, now I have tears in my eyes for no discernible reason. I miss my dad. It's been two months.

This is what everyone talks about: grief being a glitter bomb that just goes off, huh.

Jewish trauma is real.

The Holocaust was real.

Antisemitism is real.

And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.

Biden failed in provoking sufficient amount of terrorist attacks?

You can't really fault Biden for not stopping terrorist attacks that weren't planned.

Selling 21,000 copies of my upcoming book sounds like a huge number and makes me sick sometimes to think about it. BUT then I remember that that’s how I felt when I first started paying off $137,000 of student loans and I’m done with THAT next year.

I can do this too. I can do hard things.

In a nutshell. 😊

How π-ous of you. 😭

This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

ANYTHING,IT’S THAT HE’S LAID BARE HOW COMPLETELY WORTHLESS AND BROKEN THE SYSTEM IS THAT ALLOWED HIM TO BECOME PRESIDENT AGAIN AND ALLOWS HIM TO STAY IN POWER DESPITE TURNING HIS PRESIDENCY INTO A CRIMINAL OPERATION.

Everything must change.

Damn right; gleeful here to see a time when most people on earth can see and hear each other. This includes the criminals Trump, Putin and Netanyahu. We all see them for what they are.

How astonishing. For everyone who wrote Ukraine off 4 years ago, here they are—the most sophisticated military in the world, bankrupting their attacker, developing the next generation of weapons, and coordinating Europe's defense against the last evil empire. Zelenskyy = leader of the free world.

The rest of the world sees this as the best America has to offer.

It hurtz and humbling to say... No Lies Detected... 👇

one day when my mom was well into her dementia she told me about skipping meals so my brother and i could eat

that’s why hunger bothers me so much - my mom literally went hungry so we could eat, and right now as a society we won’t take our surplus and feed others
