In Irish, aspen is 'crann creathach' – trembling tree – because of how its leaves quiver and rustle in the wind. One of the most palatable tree species to deer, sheep, etc, its very distinctive, evocative sound is sadly now uncommon in Ireland.

This is true - - - and that's probably why, in this corrupt environment, the rest of us need to keep saying it. Thank you Pamela Faber. Same here.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

Before you swallow the latest claim about Iran, ask who benefits. Iran's interests are served by a weakened Trump & a Dem win. Striking the US right before midterm election works against that. Treat anything from this admin as pure lies & disinformation. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

They’re not alleging fraud or misconduct. They’re preemptively suing to block certification based on an outcome they haven’t accepted yet. It’s no longer a hypothetical talking point. The Justice Department is officially Trump’s election interference machine.

Pete Hegseth wanted Dwight Eisenhower's globe for his office. His staff broke it. Photos obtained by The Post show a gash in the World War II-era artifact that resulted from a botched relocation attempt inside the Pentagon.

Important piece: Republicans already strip-mined their donor base, and now are deeply dependent on billionaires. Unless Dems change, they will go the same route, or become electorally uncompetitive.

“There’s just a lack of bravery,” said Jacob. “I think that you should be writing a headline that says that Donald Trump is assaulting democracy. The avoidance of saying something like that directly is not good for the news industry, and it’s definitely not good for the American people.”

Eisenhower defended the 91% top federal tax rate on the richest Americans. Back then it just made sense to Americans that those with the money should pay the taxes. 1/3: #TaxTheRich

Bill Walter@billwalter.bsky.social

Most Americans, conservative and liberal, agree that America was great in the 1950's, when the top marginal tax rate was 91%, corporations paid 35% of all federal taxes, and the average working American paid nothing. It's the middle class that makes a capitalist society strong and prosperous.
