Benjamin was just one of hundreds of, shall we say "colorful," weirdos who I've encountered in the 57 boxes of archival material left behind by Walter Huss. https://open.substack.com/pub/sethcotlar/p/on-the-road-with-walter-huss-and?r=alsf&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
On the Road with Walter Huss and his Weirdo Friends

The last chapter of Walter Huss’s 40-year career as a right wing activist in Oregon came in the 1990s when he launched several unsuccessful efforts to get a ballot measure passed that would have eliminated all property and income tax in the state and replaced them with a 2% transaction tax. Huss turned 72 in 1990, but that didn’t stop him from piling into his 1982 Itasca RV and traveling to every county in Oregon to spread his anti-tax gospel and meet up with his many friends who had been fighting against “the establishment” with him for decades.

Hello to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

But Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut are hanging on by a thread.

Our newsletter today focuses on a former U.S. servicemember now fighting for Ukraine, recalling the sacrifices, optimism, and stress of his multiple deployment there.

This is excellent. Touches on the #DebtLimit and 5 other elements of #USpolitics that are anti-democratic by design; eg, author Jon Schwarz quotes James Madison:

“to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. The senate, therefore, ought to be this body.”

I also loved his mention of #RankedChoiceVoting and #MultiRepDistricts aka #FairRepresentationAct

The Debt Limit Is Just One of America’s Six Worst Traditions

Believe it or not, the debt ceiling is an improvement on what the United States used to do.

Read Idaho school funding investigation @ProPublica and

Because: "All of this matters not only for the safety and comfort of students but for their academic success."

Collapsing Roofs, Broken Toilets, Flooded Classrooms: Inside the Worst-Funded Schools in the Nation

Idaho spends less on schools per student than any other state. Kids are sweating, freezing and struggling to learn.

How do you get a white nationalist republican to west a mask during a pandemic?

You let them match on Washington.
