Two people — just ✌️ — own more wealth today than the bottom 40% of American society. No one can tell me from a moral perspective or from an economic perspective that it makes any sense at all that so few have so much while so many have so little.

That’s it. I’ve found my post-Professional Christian calling. Right here. I can only aspire to this level of excellence. Chef’s kiss

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

BREAKING: #SCA2 has passed the Assembly. Article 34 repeal will be on the 2024 ballot!!!!

The biggest temptation is to confuse working hard with effective work.

We give the Pentagon over $2,000,000,000 every single day, but Jackson, Mississippi doesn’t have clean water. Make it make sense.

[CYD Labor Caucus @CYDLabor]

Today, the Assembly Public Employment & Retirement Committee killed #AB1577 and denied the right to unionize to their very own staffers. The hypocrisy of legislators claiming to support unions while actively stopping their own staff from forming one will not be forgotten.

Returning to the prior subject, you could read this line as a tacit concession from Trump's team that some of the seized materials remain classified at the highest level.

I don’t even like avocados but I’ll buy all the avocados that will ensure this continues. I need sequels — plural

The capital of one of our states doesn’t have running water. As with many US capital cities, Jackson is majority non-White. Meanwhile the MS Governor wants to eliminate income tax and blame deferred maintenance on city officials. Just another Wednesday in the USA

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

LATEST: 180,000 people in Jackson will be without safe water for drinking or even brushing their teeth "for an unknown period of time," Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said in an emergency press briefing tonight.

He warns: "DO NOT DRINK THE WATER."
