Clara Jeffery:

Cops have arrested a *fellow tech executive* in the murder of Bob Lee??!? That’s going to change a lot of peoples narratives…

HOW WE PAY FOR BIG BUSINESS TO LOBBY AGAINST US.

I was recently asked for some concrete examples of how corporations often end up shaping the lives of Americans through legislation while pretending to support regular people.

This is a stellar example.

Where I live in #California, today is going to be the second “no rain day” in about a week. Because our norm is perpetual drought, it feels ironic to be grateful for a break in the rains. Another storm is hitting tonight.

"The J6-style assault in Brazil demonstrates the ongoing threat fascism poses to democracy. It shows that fascism is not confined to 1930s Europe, nor to shaky Third World governments.

Those who think the US or any other country in which democratic institutions are in place are immune would be mistaken to become complacent." https://aaronrupar.substack.com/p/scott-nelson-bradley-klein-authoritarianism

Neither is expected to advance in Senate, but measures underscore a marked change in messaging on the now that GOP controls chamber”
