Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.
This is slipping under the radar and it is perhaps a bigger canary in the coal mine than anything else.
That part.
This whole “don’t call it a war unless congress declares it is “ deal is disingenuous. People are dying.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.

They just walk right up to the point and step over it smh
“In a pair of recent interviews with STAT, Plotkin expressed dismay at seeing the achievements of his career & his field slip away. He knows what lies ahead…

Tonight our senile CIC will be up past his bedtime trying to read off a teleprompter. For two hours. I feel sorry for the folks whose job it is to sit there and listen.
This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

With the winter Olympics starting today in Italy, US athletes are being asked (by foreign journalists) how they feel about what ICE is doing.
Short answer, they are not happy and are ashamed as we are.

I could watch this on loop. 😂😂

So the school let them take a child from them and use him to lure the parents out for deportation?
SEEING IS BELIEVING
DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.
Where reality and incompetence collide. The Saudi line.

The election was equal parts litmus and intelligence testing. 70 million people failed.
They’re going after people for being brown and Black, going after U.S. citizens, going after people who’ve done nothing wrong—then claiming it’s about ‘the worst of the worst.’ That’s theater designed to look like law enforcement while it eliminates an entire category of people. 🔄
