In case you are tired of "journalists" with a 5th grade understand of economics critiquing Kamala's price gouging speech, by shouting "Supply and Demand Bro".
Here is Robert Kuttner(who knows a few things) speaking in support of Kamala.
As for Grocery prices, if you think the market for groceries is a fair, open, and level playing field, and it reacts to supply and demand signals, think again.

I'm not sure this interesting article provides enough evidence to prove this claim. That said, when I questioned a while back if love were possibly the antidote to #fascism it was in seeking something like this.
I won't stretch the idea of love to say it's what's going on here. What I mean is, I wonder what the best cure for fascism is, besides violence, and I'm thinking it must be something like this.
Perhaps it is this. Worth a read. #politics

It's hard to put this into words, but I'd love young people to know how the excitement around the Harris/Walz campaign is not just some hype, it's a *glimpse of normality* - of how Americans can work for the common good, rather than the weird depressing national paralysis in the face of the GOP criminals, bigots, and sociopaths of the past decade.

@NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews
I have seen numerous Trump signs disappear in the last week. My formerly Trump loving neighbor is furious over his comparison saying the Presidential Medal of Honor is superior to the Congressional Medal of Honor. Apparently the local VFW Club has come to the conclusion that Trump is trash and wants nothing more to do with him. Unless they muzzle him Republicans will be turning away.

When the sunrise started to fade, it was time to take care of business.
Summer wanted to start her rounds. She will walk the entire property line to make sure we are safe and that there was no unauthorized breach of the fence overnight.
She decided all is well, so we settled comfortably on the deck until her pal was ready to wake up.
We cuddled up with Summer in lap dog mode.
Between us and the ocean, we saw some color. I thought it might be a reflection from the sunrise, but instead, it was a rainbow.
You can't see it in the picture, but the rainbow was double before it was done.
Life really is a series of peaks and valleys. It feels good to be closer to a peak than a valley this week.
#Rainbow

Hi lyin' Trump.
Via Griffin:
Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border dropped again in July to the lowest levels in nearly four years.
Border agents tallied just 56,408 illegal crossings in July — a 32% decline from June and the fifth straight month that the figure has fallen, according to new CBP data. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/08/16/united-states-mexico-border-apprehensions-july/

slippery slope:
"assesses that the CCP is deploying algorithmic manipulation in combination with prolific information operations to impact user beliefs and behaviors on a massive scale and that these efforts prove highly successful on TikTok in particular. These findings underscore the urgent need for transparent regulation of social media algorithms, or even the creation of a public trust funded by the platforms themselves to safeguard democratic values and free will."

NEW: researchers say #TikTok screen time predicts level of pro-#China views on key topics.
Why? They say #TikTok boosts pro-#China content & actively suppress criticisms of China.
E.g. they find sensitive topics like #Taiwan, persecution of #Uyghurs & #Tibet are buried by pro-#CCP influencer content & irrelevant vids.
