@rohitforatlanta.bsky.social As someone who has followed your race with great interest, I want to extend my sincerest appreciation and admiration for your well-run and well-fought campaign. 2,772 votes is so close yet so far away, but I hope you're already planning your next run. Good luck to you!

Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for people who made the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we honor those who sacrificed by relaxing and enjoying the freedoms they died to preserve. So, we’re supposed to have fun, but we should never, ever wish anyone alive a “Happy Memorial Day”.

Damn…

Hey man that’s cool…we don’t get much stuff from there, right?

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Just one more reminder that we had that completely alarming stocks down, bond yields up thing happen again today. I just think its nice to drop a note to myself to help keep track of all the calamities unfolding simultaneously.

I won’t call Jesus woke, because I don’t want to reduce Him to our terms, but he sure as hell wasn’t some greedy hard hearted genocidal Fascist. John 13:34

This is so true. It’s like they never read a word of a Gospel. Nowhere does Jesus tell anyone to hoard their wealth, treat vulnerable people like dogs, and disobey the law. I’m also pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t be too keen on the idolatry.

Here's my note on the racial tragedy we didn't need. open.substack.com/pub/sanespac...

"He's never coming back!" is the opposite of facilitation. Morons.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's membership or involvement in any gang or him being a terrorist is irrelevant to the issue at hand. What matters is that he receives the process he's due. What matters is that the government does not assume a prerogative above the law.

If you're at all concerned about the legal goings on these days, you have to follow @joycewhitevance.bsky.social. She's authoritative and deeply informative. For instance, she just clued me in that Trump might not be able to pardon anyone convicted of criminal contempt.

If you're mad about CECOT, you need to know that we do it here too!

I don't think DJT is up for this fight. Just because Harvard makes the lawyers who populate the firms he can punk around doesn't mean Harvard is going to fold like they do.

This seems to be the only person in the sports world even vaguely aware of what's going on in the world.

Here's a clue as to why arguments about the rule of law and preserving democracy fail to win elections: folks are into those things when they agree with the outcomes and couldn't care less about them when they don't.

Authoritarians care about popularity only in the sense that they don't want people in the streets with nooses and pitchforks. The jitters of the spineless independents who put him into office don't bother him at all. www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-harr...

I'm sorry, but shit is just out of whack: Total endowments of the eight Ivy League schools: $146 billion. Elon Musk's net worth: $367 billion. Home Depot's Market Cap: $355 billion. Tesla is worth 4 times more than Toyota.

This article misses the point. Harvard being unscathed is not a necessary condition of them battling with Trump. They are prepared to have less because the goal they fight for is more important. That's called courage. Columbia and the law firms should take note. www.axios.com/local/boston...

If you're outraged about CECOT, you should be outraged by this as well. The fact it's happening within our borders makes it so much worse.

That moment when you realize you done fucked up:

Not every economic indicator is on a spreadsheet. We don’t think about how some unexpected people are sage economic analysts. www.yahoo.com/finance/news...

It always breaks my heart when I read about the enormous emotional cost of nepotism. Poor thing. 😂 😂 😂 www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/he...

Maybe I'm missing something with this story. How is a Trump voter's agony when his Peruvian wife was captured by ICE worthy of our sympathy? Did no one think to challenge this glaring example of "good for thee, but not for me?" www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

When they won’t even confirm his status, point 3 seems more plausible in my opinion, or perhaps in a prison with 40,000 people El Salvador has lost track of who he is.

Our horror about the CECOT prison in El Salvador should prompt us to look at our own human rights violating terror houses. In this piece, I explore one through the eyes of one man's tragedy: open.substack.com/pub/sanespac...

I agree with this. Sounds like anchoring, a negotiating tactic where I start at an extreme position so you feel like you’ve won when I concede to a less extreme one. Now did they plan this from the beginning or are they making the most of their mistake? Not sure.

We're hearing a lot about the bond market these days. Let me help you understand why. open.substack.com/pub/sanespac...

10yr Treasury bond yields above 4.5% again with stock market opening lower...no bueno... Why care? One reason: higher bond yields = higher interest rates on home and car loans. Another reason: Bond market is sort of a vote of confidence (or not) in how a country handles its business...

The Supreme Court Finally Rules open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

When you go into something having already decided what you think, you'd be amazed how good you can be at resisting the impulse to learn the truth about it.

Ohh, Democrats, are you paying attention? Trump's calling off of the tariffs seems not to have calmed the markets like he had hoped. Y'all should be screaming that he is INCOMPETENT and that he is DESTROYING the economy, which is going to cost people their JOBS and their SAVINGS.

Uhhh...this is weird. The stock market was down today. These yields should be going down, not up.

The SAVE Act passing the House is horrible, but we have to remember that it is not yet law and Senate Dems have leverage. Time to step up!

They snatched her off the street and threw her in chains because she wrote something they didn’t like.

What a world we’re living in today. Trump’s throwing innocent people in jail while Clayton County (GA) is letting convicted murderers out on the streets! www.yahoo.com/news/convict...

Hmmm...the stock market is still going down. Guess Trump didn't calm down all the "yippers".

Okay so McAfee is going to give her money, but I’d bet she wants the public apology as much if not more. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

What the GOP plans to do with the budget right now is like demanding your salary to be cut in half, offsetting the loss by canceling your Netflix subscription, and then promising to pay down your credit card balances.

For anyone wondering, the bond market did it. That bond market is NO JOKE!!

With economic calamity paused for 90-days, we can return our attention to the human rights abuses, destruction of our democracy, obliteration of the things that keep us safe and healthy, whitewashing of our history, and cheapening of our culture. Oh these interesting times.

This dude's just fucking around, doing whatever he wants. Clearly this is just a game to him. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/s...

OF COURSE any Dem wanting to run in 2028 needs to find a way to tack back toward the center, but dining with Trump and making it clear just how much you agree with him is a losing move all the way. www.yahoo.com/news/michiga...

For the layman, US treasury bonds have long been the safest of safe investments, meaning when the market tanks, people start buying bonds. In these cases, the 10-year yield goes down because bonds are being bought vs sold. If the yield goes up as the markets goes down, that is bad. Very bad.

This is a sign of a potentially oncoming financial apocalypse that congress has fully within its power to stop today. Folks are panic selling US debt, risking the dollar and lord knows what else:

Getting a passport is a very expensive proposition. $165 minimum. If you need a passport to vote, and that passport costs $165, that's call a POLL TAX!
