Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

When the NYT posits women’s rights ruined the workplace, when the Crimson publishes professors’ proclivity to coerce sex from vulnerable femme colleagues, when the Ep list is in headlines, I repeat:

CONSENT MATTERS.

Consent Matters.
Normalizing communicating our needs in deloaded contexts empowers us to advocate for ourselves later in life, as well. What’s practiced becomes habit. Practice communicating and respecting boundaries. Practice a consent-based pedagogy.

Consent matters.
Understanding cognitive development matters.
Normalizing & empowering communication of boundaries FUCKING MATTERS.

Through a consent-based pedagogy, we can shift paradigms and empower youth.

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!

We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

Every good thing this society half-assedly started due to COVID should've been not just continued but constantly improved upon; but too many of y'all have The Fear, & those programs remind you of the thing that scared you.

So instead you burn down your house 'cause your basement made spooky shadows
It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.
The food security report is out, and it's bad news: 13.5% of households were food insecure in 2023, up from 12.8% in 2022. This is what happens when you abruptly end "pandemic" supports that should have been there all along.

I am ceaselessly dismayed by the frequency & fervency of MAGA canvassing in SoCal.

Like, I politely said “no thanks,” please don’t scream at me about voter IDs. No sir, I’m not a traitor; I’m just tryna get bulk TP at Sam’s & avoid your foolishness.

The answer to corruption is publicly financed campaigns.

This should be the biggest takeaway from NY’s mayoral race.

Thanks to public financing, corrupt oligarchs are about to lose the mayoral race.
