Every other group needs a coalition of others to swing elections. We've tried saving America from itself for centuries. We can't do it. We can't save people who don't want to be saved. White America has to want to save itself first. THEN, we can be there to assist, but they must do the work.

Here's a longer-term chart of US tech employment growthβ€”the only thing that compares to the scale and length of current job losses is the dot-com bust

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

The economic story just changed dramatically.

Payrolls fell -92k in Feb. Jan growth was revised down by -4k to +126k. And Dec revisions subtracted -64k to -17k.

Unemployment rate up a tick to 4.4%.

Recession questions are back on the menu

When you’re living with chronic illness, your body calls the shots.

It doesn’t matter how hard you try.

It doesn’t matter how badly you β€œwant” to do something.

There’s time when your body will say β€œNo”.

You’re no longer in control and it can be devastating.

white ppl you don't have reliable instincts about these shady ass white ppl like Talarico because you've never HAD to have them to survive. That & internal biases & racism is why you're the easiest of marks. Remember Fetterman? Just fucking listen to Black people, ffs!!!

Trying to keep it together, dysregulating emails where we need to pay more money, my autistic overwhelm is coming out as rage but I'm trying not to explode. I'm so tired.

Say the whole story. They made up because the witness is that twerp Sean O’Brien of the Teamsters who recommended Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer for Labor Secretary. Disgraced former Rep D’Esposito is currently investigating her as DOL IG for misconduct as he tries to figure out losing a House race again.

Kristi Noem being put down after 14 months feels like a smidgen of justice for Cricket.

I like schadenfreude, too much of it feels bad and seems corrosive. But, the bad people will have to face consequences, I'll figure out how to deal with my complex ethical feels on my own time.

Kristi Noem being fired, if that is in fact what happens, will not get to the root of the problem, and it’s putting all the blame on a woman.

That said it shows that Trump still cares about being embarrassed and humiliated. We do have power, even if it doesn’t feel like it all the time.

Also the idea that Latino equals Catholic and thus more progressive (aside from abortion), is not uniformly true! There's many Latinos who have lived in the US for generations, are evangelical, and whose politics match. Part of why I doubt Talarico will get Latino support as people assume.
