New in PN: @sethcotlar.bsky.social on historical roots of the new Red Scare "They’ve been saying civilization is on the verge of being destroyed since the 1950s. Somehow no one ever stops and thinks, 'Gosh, it’s been 70 years. I wonder if we’re wrong.' It’s memory-holed like religious cults do."

I honestly wonder how long things like this can drag on where evil people publicly don’t pay what they owe with no consequence, until the average person decides there’s no point in paying off their credit card, line of credit, loan, etc. The whole system is a house of cards.

Today Zohran is announcing that the New York City-owned grocery stores his administration is piloting will discount staple items 30%. Core groceries like produce, meat, seafood, pasta, bread, yogurt, butter, nuts, rice and beans will all receive this price cut.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.
