On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

Back on here to thank @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social "It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone. The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Ben Wikler not coming to a city near you on his book tour? Here’s a really good conversation between two of Wisconsin’s savviest political minds for you to drop in on.

Dan Shafer@danshafer.bsky.social · 5d ago

NEW: Live from Eau Claire, my conversation with @benwikler.bsky.social On Wisconsin's discombobulating primary, "the establishment," the DNC, gerrymandering, and even where he agrees with Ron Johnson (yes, really!). Let's recombobulate: www.therecombobulationarea.com/p/live-eau-c...

Opposition to AI data centers is uniting Wisconsinites across the political spectrum. I’ve been on the side of the people since day one. As governor, I’ll call a special session of the Legislature for a moratorium on new construction. We won’t get Foxconned again.

Hoo boy, check the 🧵for a guy who just didn’t know when to quit. If he truly follows Dr. Cottom, he should know the quicksand (or hot lava, because I’m a Boomer) he was about to step in.

I swear I’m not this kind of person. I don’t read for my name, you know? But if the article you link at me to explain why I’m wrong…cites me to develop its own thesis? I’m probably doing okay with my own spitballing. Thank you.

#tdih 1952 22-yr-old WAC Sarah Louise Keys Evans from NC bravely refused to give up her seat for a white man on charter bus from NJ to NC. She was arrested, filed suit (with lawyer Dovey J. Roundtree), & won in Keys v. Carolina Coach Co. #TeachTruth Read ⬇️. 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/sa...

I’m sorry, say what now, “Democratic insiders”? The man has published a hella good book that you all should read. You might learn something. Get up off your asses and DO SOMETHING for cripes’ sake. Whatever @benwikler.bsky.social chooses to do next with his life, he has certainly earned that right.

NBC News@nbcnews.com · last wk.

For months, Ben Wikler has had discussions with insiders about running for future office, according to three people who spoke directly to him.

The WI Dem primary debate this week might be the most consequential event left before November. Woof….

Have been thinking about these points frequently, in a summer where my part of the Upper Midwest has experienced the first 5 of these—and remembering climate scientists warning us 10 years ago that this would be our weather before long. #ClimateCrisis

Kate Marvel@drkatemarvel.bsky.social · last wk.

Scientists warned you about: ♨️ more/longer/hotter heatwaves (hot planet=hot weather) 🌀 stronger storms (warm water=hurricane food) 🌧️ downpours (warm air holds more water vapor) 🌵 droughts (warm air is thirstier) 🔥 fire weather (hotter, drier) 🌊 sea level rise (land ice melts, warm water expands)

Help TNN meet their goal and keep paying trans people to do independent journalism! This is one of those kill-many-birds-with-one-stone kind of donations: you can support trans people, indie journalism, and economic democracy (i.e. worker-owned coops) all at once. 🔥

Trans News Network@transnews.network · last wk.

Less than $3,000 to go to hit our big goal for our entire fundraiser. That will help our worker-run trans news org keep the lights on. It will mean more hard-hitting journalism. It means fellowships for particularly marginalized trans journalists. Every share and (tax deductible) donation helps:

Worth remembering that Talarico raised so much money he just gave some away to other Texas candidates and Mamdani raised so much money during the primary that he told people to donate to Adrienne Adams. People aren't giving up on Ds. They just don't like the DNC. The DNC should think about that!

can my comparative politics folks come up with any other example of the opposition party being $2m in debt when the incumbent government is ~20 points underwater on approval?

When the federal government fails us, local governments (yes, led by democratic socialists) step up. Kudos to Mayor Wilson. Seattle kids will not go hungry this year. #SchoolFood #UniversalFreeSchoolMeals

Robert Cruickshank@robertcruickshank.com · 2w ago

We won. Thousands of kids in Seattle will not go hungry this school year because we organized, fought hard, and won. Huge credit to @mayor.seattle.gov Katie Wilson for pushing the universal free school meals proposal. It’s her victory too.

The idea is simple. The choices that render cities too expensive, arduous to move through, and aesthetically uninspiring also elevate climate risk. Cities cannot be made more resilient to climate impacts without making them more affordable, navigable, and beautiful. I call this adaptive urbanism.

News organizations need to stop framing this as "tariffs on dozens of countries" or tariffs "on 60 trade partners." The tariffs are on U.S. BUSINESSES who pay them to import the goods. They are a tax on U.S. businesses and they are typically passed on to consumers.

NBC News: U.S. sets tariffs at 10% to 12.5% on 60 trade partners to replace expiring tariffs These new duties will take effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on Friday morning, just as the previous tariffs expire.
