Retired Postal Worker living her best life in Des Moines, IA--drinking good beer and mixing up the occasional cocktail. Leftist with 2 cats and a persistent sense of oncoming doom.

I love how Silicon Valley Bank is being portrayed as a "woke" bank, and their failure is blamed on being too woke.🤡

There is absolutely nothing that the US won't try to blame on Black folk.

Less than 2% of VC money even goes to Black folk. By assets, it was an anti-woke bank.

Black. Woke means Black.

If conservatives really cared about who is harming kids, they’d outlaw youth pastors, not drag queens.

Wokeness didn't kill over a million people and leave millions more debilitated in the US. It just made you sad you couldn't be as racist as you would like to be.

It’s an illusion to think we can make any major progress in this country without getting corporate money out of politics. It is the root of all evil in Washington.

The struggle of our time isn’t Left versus Right, Democrats versus Republicans.

It’s about democracy versus authoritarianism.

Total student loan debt erased by Biden plan: $400 billion

Total cost of the 2017 GOP tax cuts: $1.9 trillion

Funny how Republicans have no problem giving corporations and billionaires big tax cuts, but erasing some student loan debt for millions of people is just too much.

Remember when we learned that Trump's dangerously politicized DOJ launched a wild goose chase over a bunch of dumb conspiracy theories surrounding the Russia investigation and then John Durham found evidence of financial crimes committed by Trump and Bill Barr covered them up?

That was a big story for like 2 days, but just a blip compared to the mainstream coverage of entirely imaginary efforts to silence conservatives and the fascists' trans panic.

The thing I’ll never get over is conservatives complaining they can’t say what they think anymore. Is there anything more inescapable in modern life than the ceaseless monotonous drumbeat of conservatives all telling all the rest of us everything they all think?
Jimmy Carter's most important legacy is probably his least well known. Before Carter, 3.6 million people per year were infected by Guinea Worm, a neglected tropical disease. Today, that's down to *13* cases per year, a reduction of 99.99%. And it throws his post-presidency into stark relief from Trump's who is golfing and ranting on social media while trying to get richer. https://brianklaas.substack.com/p/jimmy-carters-hidden-legacy
Jimmy Carter's Hidden Legacy

Carter's post-presidency has been transformative. And while he's well-known for his contributions to democracy, he deserves immense credit for his incredible successes with global public health.
