For mitch to even make a statement about that tells me he's shaking in his boots.

Ken is good at the Twitter. Related to this: These pictures always remind me of that poem Home, by Warsan Shire. “you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land“ No parent is sending their child to a new country, alone, on a dangerous path, with nothing but the clothes on their backs unless they know they’re imminently unsafe where they are. My heart just aches for these children and their families.

Someone's probably already posted this, but when I'm seeing that DT is calling on his supporters to boycott companies, part of me is like good. Like if his fans stopped taking flights, going to baseball games, etc. I'm on board with that. They can stay home, that's great. I'll go to a baseball game, no problem.

I, personally, can't wait to go to a Trumper free Disneyland

I can't remember which of my podcasts was talking about this, but corporate activism is one way we can sort of tip the balance of what is a fundamentally minority-rule system of government. The electoral college and the Senate hand tremendous power to a minority of the population. If corporations want to act on behalf of the majority of their customers, which are younger and more liberal, that helps the majority have more of a voice in politics.
But also, these are the same people who have fought tooth and nail, even in the Supreme Court, to let corporations do whatever they blooming well please in our politics and now they're butthurt bc CocaCola doesn't like their racist dictator. Sit the hell down.

It brings back crystal clear memories of trying to get DS and all of his toddler gear safely down those awful RJ stairs to the tarmac, then onto the busses by myself when we’d travel to see my parents without H. What a nightmare!.

Raimondo: we've neglected physical and workforce infrastructure for far too long, but to build back better, we need to focus on inclusivity. Rural, tribal, urban, everyone in America
Editorial notes from me: I do not understand how, a year into this pandemic, anyone can object to broadband expansion

Also securing the supply chain through education and training

Raimondo: the Care Economy is core to our competitiveness. You can't go to work if you have to care for a loved one. And we have way too many people, particularly women of color, caring for our elderly and infirm for poverty wages. So don't @ me about that not being infrastructure

Kristen Welker: won't raising the corporate tax rate kill jobs?
Raimondo: um, no? If we don't invest, we can't compete. Do corporations want workers? Do they want strong roads and bridges and ports to ship their products? Stop whinging.

Eugene Daniels: how can you be sure communities of color will benefit from this package? I'm thinking of Jackson and Flint and their pipes
Raimondo: I promise you equity is top of mind in everything we do
