Kindness-first personality. I try my best to react with kindness and compassion first, but it’s always backed up with a low-threshold tolerance for the opposite. I'm a cynical meliorist.

Universal basic income is nothing less than a goddamn human right just as much as universal healthcare and education are. And I don't care if anyone works less because we should be working less. We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs. We have the productive capacity to meet ALL NEEDS.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

Never forget that the airlines were instrumental in reducing the Covid isolation requirements and paid time off.
Why? It was hurting their profits.
They were about to lose money again due to the shutdown… so the Dems caved.
Medicaid & ACA will be gone to keep airlines happy.
Profit over people.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined an opportunity to overturn its landmark precedent recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, tossing aside an appeal that had roiled LGBTQ advocates who feared the conservative court might be ready to revisit the decade-old decision.

Yes!!
The single most important bill to get passed into law to save democracy is the Fair Representation Act. We cannot continue with a 2-party system where one has no interest in democracy and the other has no interest in fighting to protect it and us. We must end winner take all and empower new parties.

Wal-Mart called and said they needed that $2B of SNAP money to help their holiday bottom line.Then the airline executives called and cried that they didn’t want to have the flight reduction. Then the lobbyists called and…you get the picture. It wasn’t about the people, never has been, never will be.

Yesterday was a whole-caucus failure. The “eight” were tapped by Schumer. Every single Dem caucus member should be primaried or passed over for a third party alternative if they won’t replace Schumer/Durban/Gillibrand in leadership.

Please, please hold the line. Don't buckle, don't bow and don't bend. We need you to be our *actual representatives and fight for us against the cruel bastards on the other side of the aisle as well as the spineless sycophants on your side too.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
