I'm over on Bluesky. I was never crazy active here & put minimal effort into this space, but I plan to do better now (I think). kmacsthoughts.bsky.social

@rgunns You were fully understood by me. But Twitter is where the losers perform smartness and intellectual superiority to anyone they don’t know or don’t like. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Watching people try to play smarty pants with this tweet is hilarious because this tweet is so obvious to me. It’s basically a tweet making sure that before she discusses trade offs we are all on the same page about what it is and isn’t.

Join us on November 12 for a compelling discussion on the outlook for government capacity in 2025. RSVP 🗓️ rooseveltinstitute.org/event/state-ca… x.com/rooseveltinst/…

Genuinely not surprised. It is a shame, however. Not even to talk about what one whole year of bombs being dropped could mean from a more scientific angle. SMH

An equitable tax system can strengthen our economy AND democracy. "As wealth becomes increasingly concentrated, public trust in government erodes and social cohesion weakens." More from Roosevelt Fellow @IndivarD ⬇️ x.com/IPS_DC/status/…

New from @SuzMKahn: 80 percent of Americans wrongly think Medicare covers long-term care. This makes sense, because it should. @KamalaHarris agrees. firesidestacks.com/p/why-harriss-…

Medicare at Home has entered the chat—and it’s here to save the broken elder care industry. @KamalaHarris's new industrial policy approach will raise care standards, stabilize the workforce, and increase pay. More from @SuzMKahn in #FiresideStacks firesidestacks.com/p/why-harriss-…

“True patriotism springs from a belief in the dignity of the individual, freedom and equality not only for Americans but for all people on earth, universal brotherhood and good will, and a constant striving toward the principles and ideals on which this country was founded.” 1962

A really important read. I've often seen disability advocates talk about how getting support means staying in poverty because the moment they make anything, even a measly amount, they can no longer get benefits. Leaves them in a cycle of poverty and no upward mobility.

Hey Siri, What are the potential risks of using AI agents like yourself for financial services? Siri: A new brief by @tphillips is a good place to start. It offers 6 recommendations for what we can do to ensure these risks are properly regulated. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/t…

More reasons to #TaxTheRich. My reason would be that most of their profit & wealth is wage theft, but here is someone way smarter than me whose argument may be more convincing.

In my first substack for @RooseveltFwd ... I am once again asking you to think about macro policy like flying! Hawks: can fly--they are birds! Doves: can fly--also birds. Humans: can fly--but only in a plane THAT DOES NOT GO TOO SLOW firesidestacks.com/?utm_source=na…

I have nothing good to wear and it’s all corporations’ fault… In our latest Fireside Stacks I write about the root causes and devastating effects of the fast fashion industry. firesidestacks.com/p/cheap-clothe…

@aasthauprety lol, heavy on the last one though. It made me laugh a little!

just kidding …. unless 👀

- ban vapes - mandate spanish language classes in all elementary schools - heavily fine people who make their cars/motorcycles loud on purpose - place decibel limits for sound in restaurants and event venues - firing squad for men who touch your waist to move past you in crowds

Most places shouldn’t have pets including apartments and stop subjecting dogs to climates and environments that’s not their natural habitat. aka free the animals! lol

Today, @ENPancotti and I addressed some of the most common misunderstandings that people have about the Billionaire Minimum Tax. Let's start by understanding what the policy really is: it's essentially withholding for billionaires.

What I heard last night sounds like someone sucking all the water out of the ocean and then saying they'd do everything to give the fishes the ability to live. The night ended so gloomily for me. I am so thoroughly disgusted.

"Just do something" I wish they would embody their own damn slogan. Do something about this genocide. Everything is within your ability. And activists have been doing a whole lot for months with not even the ability to get some time and attention at the DNC. Deeply disappointed
