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.

All I can think about is the 1990s media obsession with The Status Of The Clinton Marriage. And here we have the First Lady not even living in the fucking White House while Trump spends all his time with an apparent mistress who looks just like is own daughter and the press is like “whatever”. 🤷‍♂️

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

Yep!

If it wasn’t for truck drivers, we’d starve. If it wasn’t for sanitation workers, we’d be overrun by rats and disease. If it wasn’t for construction workers, we wouldn’t have roads and the economy would collapse. Just because a job isn’t glorious doesn’t mean it’s not existentially important.

A nice little bit of music from a talented pianist to start the week!

Monday morning jazz ☀️ I'm immensely enjoying this daily tradition here on Bluesky as I work through the many fake books I've collected. Today's pick is a Cole Porter tune from 1936, nominated for an Academy Award (losing to "The Way You Look Tonight"). I've Got You Under My Skin- Cole Porter

True…. #BookSky

Lazy Sunday morning jazz ☀️ 🎹 This time a cover of a Johnny Mathis song I first heard from the incredible Nina Simone. Wild is the Wind- Tiomkin/Washington 🌬️ 🍃

How adorable is this?

This is Pepe le Pew. He has been to the beach many times over the years, but still gets just as excited about it. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: pepedog808)

Do not rest on this issue. These bills ban millions of women from voting unless they produce a passport or birth certificate — documents women lose when they marry and change their name. Over 21 million Americans lack ready access. The fix: reject the SAVE Act and protect equal ballot access. #Pinks

Interesting take about uses for data centers. Not benign.

From today, and every day that traitorous rapist sack of shit is corrupting our country, I will post #TrumpWillNeverBeMyPresident

Great question!

kenofseattle@kenofseattle.bsky.social · 4d ago

So why isn't Fox news televising interviews of all the happy people who live near data centers so we can hear what a treat it is to live with the constant noise, lights, increased utility costs and non-existent new jobs?

Hope they work and become available in the US eventually along with Chinese EV’s etc.

Paxton is second to Todd Blanche for Corruption as an AG . Texans can Vote for Talerico and send a message to Republicans and Never Again nominate a Proven Crook, who won’t explain how he owns 15 homes on a $153,000.😱😱😡⚖️⚖️please repost to help Texans decide 🗳️🗳️🗳️🧢🧢🧢👊🇺🇸😎

Humor me. You get stopped by a cop. First question ID yourself with Driver License, THAT BECOMES the legal record for identity, Now I want ot vote and suddenly that legal record isn’t adequate. FUCK THAT

The former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social

Corporate profiteers destroyed journalism. Worker-owned media can save it.

Former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers went on strike for over three years and won. Then, the owners sold the paper and most strikers lost their jobs. Now, they’ve launched “a cooperative news organiz...

We made it to Friday ☀️ Here's a short and sweet big-band tune from the WWII era done in a jazz style 🎹 I'm here every morning on Bluesky until I run out of gas! Thanks for following along 💙 It's Been a Long, Long Time - Styne/Cahn

Remember when we were having a shortage on Ventilators for covid victims & PedoBoy sent a bunch of them to his Lord & Master Putin, Instead of Saving taxpaying Americans? We got the Refrigeration Trucks at the Hospitals, Yeah, Good Times...

People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.

Just an appreciation post for this guy. The COVID pandemic would have been far worse without Dr. Fauci's decades of experience as guidance through it. Had he been working under an adult president and not the child that presided over 2020, he would have saved even more lives without having to contend

Today is another one of those uncomfortable times where I find myself looking wistfully back at the Bush Administration.

Senator John McCain warned us about Rand Paul when he said, “The senator from Kentucky is now working for Vladimir Putin.”
