It’s hard not to feel that the last fifty years of American history is about how, when the disenfranchised, the poor and the powerless caught even a small, unrealized glimpse of shared opportunity, the powerful decide it would be better to burn it all.

For me, it’s easy: Born of Man And Woman, by Richard Matheson. I read it when I was 11 or 12 and growing up in a house where it was a lot easier to identify with the deformed protagonist than the ‘normals.’

The health insurance industry doesn't care who you voted for — only how much money they can extract from you.
Insurance premiums are set to double, and Republicans shut down the government to make sure it happens.
Now is the time to demand universal healthcare with Medicare for All.

Can we agree now not to read the inevitable articles (or buy the inevitable books) by people who took the money and then found themselves doing ‘unconscionable things they now regret?’ Can we agree in advance you should have fucking known better?

Thanks to @penguinpress and Victoria Laboz for early access to David Nasaw’s brilliant THE WOUNDED GENERATION, a comprehensive reexamination of how America dealt with returning veterans and the persistence of trauma. Especially excellent on how black veterans were sold out and gay veterans purged.

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
