Robert ReichToday is a good day to remind you that whitewashing American history is how white supremacy thrives.

The holidays can be excruciating for people struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, or other types of mental illness.
I know because I’ve been there before.
Do everything you can to stay patient and be kind to yourself.
You are not alone ❤️
Virginia HeffernanExtremely grateful today for the end of the birdsite’s monopoly on rumor, quips, news, and the cultural memes that—more than we know—exert a vicegrip on our imaginations & moods. What a dangerous setup that was, & I can only fully see it now, with hindsight. Twitter can now fall apart or do porn/sports betting/4chan stuff. But it’ll never have a monopoly again.
Dave JohnsonWhen you hear about the "cost" of investing in public infrastructure or protecting the public from things like the #climatecrisis, please ask about the cost of NOT doing it.

There are not 87,000 new IRS agents. This thing that Republicans are saying they will repeal as their first order of business in the majority does not exist. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/06/us/politics/irs-agents-fact-check.html https://twitter.com/HouseGOP/status/1595229646127177729

Arin DubeWage inequality fell over the last two and half years. And compared to early 2020, real wages are still higher for the bottom 40% of the workforce (accounting for demographic composition), in spite of high inflation rate over the past year and half.
In a sane world, being pro-life would mean being pro-Medicare for All, pro-gender-affirming care, pro-Green New Deal, and pro-gun safety.
Sherrilyn IfillTonight I finished @maddow’s new podcast Ultra. This powerful warning shot, this unearthing of the threat of American facism in the 30s& 40s is required learning for this moment. There has been a dress rehearsal for what we are facing. We’d best learn. I strongly encourage you to listen to all 8 episodes. The parallels are stunning. A reminder that we’ve fought this before. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/id1647910854?i=1000586931428
