I'm trying to be hopeful. I'm trying.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

This man is a true leader and warrior. It is reprehensible that *our* corrupt, deranged President is stabbing Ukraine in the back. History will not forget.

Zelenskyy: "If the United States supports Putin, it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. It's a historic mistake. If United States officially takes the side of Russia, of course we will not prevail and we will not be able to stand."

But I let it slide because DC is now a "gold"-plated spectacle. Also American Flag Blue. 🎆

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.

I don't know... if these pervasive "reports" are false, maybe the Congressman and a few buddies should go on a fact-finding visit. 🤔

Rep. Pat Fallon dismisses dire conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln: "These 'reports' are just that. I haven't heard anything personally. I trust the Navy. I don't make much of it, to be honest."

This would never have happened if he used Flex Seal. I've seen the ads. You can make a screen door into a boat's hull and it FLOATS, baby. It. floats.

Trump: "Think of that? You work so hard, you get it open way ahead of July 4. And then somebody is in there with a knife cutting it and ripping the floor out. It's terrible. But the 350 foot gash in the side, it's a terrible thing."

I am very proud of the MSPCA's work in animal welfare and fortunate to be one of their volunteer caregivers. 🐕 🐈‍⬛ 🐇 🦜 🐎 🐖 🐑 🐓

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I'm presuming the "Trump Class" ships will be huge, loud, smelly, over budget but made with crappy materials, dipped in "gold", use obsolete technology, be only for white sailors... and never actually delivered. Someone please give the idiot SimCity for Xmas and tell him it's real.

🧵 2/2 The real evil lies with the enablers. The insiders who encourage, celebrate, and enrich themselves. The journalists who've sane washed it. The pols who've sold their souls to play the game. It's disgusting. Maybe someday, in their mirrors, they'll see the truth staring back. I hope so.

Looks to be catastrophic.

At 892mb and 1-2 hours from landfall, Melissa would tie the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 for lowest pressure at landfall on record in the Atlantic Basin Max sustained winds up to 185mph! Though the most intense winds are tightly held around the eye...hurricane force winds extend only 30 miles out

I'm on board. Markey has been in DC forever, and Moulton would be a great replacement.

Congressman Seth Moulton launched campaign for Senate, Fenway Health ends gender affirming care, and Ryan Reynolds stopped in Boston to talk about new film. Stay in "The Loop" with WBZ NewsRadio. www.spreaker.com/episode/mid-...

🧵/2 Henry VIII had plans drawn for a HUGE tomb in St George's Chapel, Windsor. It was never built. His coffin went in a vault with wife Jane's. Charles I joined later. No monument or marker. Eventually the spot was rediscovered and a simple slab put in the chapel floor with names/dates. Seems fair.

I presume that, when the time comes (as Joni Ernst reminds us), DJT wants to be interred in a grand way. Turn Mar-a-Lago into the Taj Mahal, be displayed in a glass case in Trump Tower like Lenin or a revered saint, erect a golden effigy... I hope he gets "The Ivana" or Henry VIII's deal. 🧵/1
