    Here’s the thing, is a phenomenal writer. I waited to read Hiding in Plain Sight because I thought it would be a slog or a tough read. I was wrong. It is lyrical and compelling. Sometimes I forget it is a horror story.

    "Allowing platforms to grow to their present size has given them a dominance that is nearly insurmountable - deputizing them with public duties to redress the pathologies created by their size makes it virtually impossible to reduce that size."

    thank you, : "Hiding in Plain Sight" is must-read stuff folks, a lament and clarion call for America. "If we survive the current era, it will not be due to a savior from above, but to the refusal of ordinary people to accept elite criminal impunity as normal."

    Hey - need your help. navigating help on your site is like playing chicken with a horror-hybrid AVR+DDOS ARG. And not in a good way.

    Glad to see this COVID-19 relief proposal by the President-elect. I look forward to working with his administration and my colleagues to build on December’s emergency relief package so we can get relief to the American people and communities who need it most.

    We need to tackle the public health and economic crises we’re facing head-on. That’s why today, I’m announcing my American Rescue Plan. Together we’ll change the course of the pandemic, build a bridge toward economic recovery, and invest in racial justice.

    Courage is not what you are willing to attack, it's what you are willing to defend. When insurrectionists wrapped in flags attacked what those flags stood for, Goodman stood for all of us.

    His name is With domestic terrorists storming towards him, he looked to his left - saw the Senate chamber - and led them to his right up the steps to protect the people. A Black person who protected his country even when it hasn't protected him Honor this man!

    Holy cow. Sorry for all the Hoffer tweets, but get THIS: "The successful businessman is often a failure as a communal leader because his mind is attuned to the "things that are"... 1/4

    More Hoffer..."A mass movement...appeals not to those intent on bolstering...a cherished self, but to those who crave to be rid of an unwanted self." basically, one joins a movement not to find oneself, but to lose oneself.

    "Those who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failures on existing constraints. Actually their innermost desire is for an end to "freedom for all." - Eric Hoffer

    Rereading Toffler (Future Shock) and Hoffer (The True Believer). Both feeling too relevant right now.

    The "story" of America has always been a work in progress. I like the story of an optimistic, inclusive, kind and fair America with opportunity for all. You may have a different story. Only together can we write the best possible story, and defend it. 9/10
