This Susan Harlan poem spoke to me years ago on the topic of earned titles, seems timely now.

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don’t have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said the agency that regulates television "threatened" the show and that an interview with James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, will not air on television but on YouTube. to.pbs.org/4h1MubS

When sane people are once again in charge, I hope that among the first things they do is restore the names, demolish the impositions, and reclaim our common understandings of where and who we are. robertreich.substack.com/p/s…

Democratic voters are expected to knock on doors donate, make phone calls, vote, and deliver a majority. And then have their views completely ignored.

Dear conservative twitter WITHOUT INSINUATING ANYTHING SEXUAL this does strike me as unusual behavior between a politician and a staffer.
Meet Natalie Harp, the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him
“As the motorcade idled outside his Trump Tower residence, staffers confronted a more immediate problem: There wasn’t room for Harp, the hyper-loyal aide whose devotion to Trump had quickly entrenched her within his orbit.
A screaming match in the lobby ensued, with Harp insisting that Trump had personally asked her to attend the court appearance, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Denied a seat but determined not to be left behind, Harp jumped into an SUV trunk, according to the two sources and confirmed by a photo obtained by CNN.” W @adamcancryn

The Donald Trump movement has *always* stood for respectful treatment of political opponents in general, and women in particular and that’s why people are so mad at Ossoff today in a way that is totally sincere and on the level.
Yes @ossoff should apologize and he should get beaten in November. He’s a ridiculous caricature of a senator and far too left wing for Georgia. And a mean-spirited jerk who traffics in slander as well.

AOC: Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We're grown adults with mortgages and kids, and that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us and we're taking the reins

Imagine if, in 1997, every company started forcing us to have Tamigotchis in everything by promising us that someday Tamigotchis will cure cancer.

If you’re employing the same consultants currently trying to tank a senate race in order to ensure the nomination goes to someone who will hire them, you should be asking yourself some questions.

I’m sorry but “we are taking time to reflect on the best path forward” is not an option on the table. Either it’s false and you campaign with vigor or it’s true and you get out / apologize to everyone you let down.

From the light bulb to the iPhone, American inventions have rocketed around the world thanks to their innovation and ingenuity. But some American innovators, including women and people of color, have largely been overlooked.
To mark America’s 250th birthday, host William Brangham (@WmBrangham) spoke with Eric S. Hintz, a historian at the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, about an unsung figure of American innovation and one of hip hop’s pioneers: Grandmaster Flash.

This is why my stance on 2028 is Anyone But Newsom — the worst case scenario is to once again nominate someone who leftists don’t like but who has embraced all of the leftists’ ideas.
It's time for a national billionaires tax and a new social contract.
10% of Americans own two-thirds of the wealth. Wages have stagnated. The cost of living has skyrocketed.Â
The system is fundamentally broken.
The federal tax code, a corporate code, and an inheritance code were written for a different set of Americans.Â
It’s time for an economic reset.

Eddie Vedder worked with a group of teenage kids in Chicago to write, rehearse and perform this song in front of three former presidents. Just an incredible commitment of time and love and labor from him.
