Grateful for the 5 minute reprieve we had yesterday but it already feels like it happened a week ago now
Countries with DEI and abortion are human rights violators, says country where armed and masked government forces are invading neighborhoods.
"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the [US] State Department..."

If you have ever wondered why innocent Black people run from police, you can stop wondering now.
Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.

Bleak but true
Where I differ from a lot of my more chill friends is that I believe that we are in an "us or them" situation right now. There is no scenario where our power and their power can be shared going forward. We are engaged in an ongoing battle for our right to exist as free people in the world.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

I’m not crossing the picket line, and also not buying their beans at the store.
Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION.
The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year.
Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes.
That's why Starbucks workers are striking today.
I won't cross the picket line.

I kind of hate this widely-shared chart. While our life expectancy is too low and our health expenditure is too high, they are actually not particularly connected to each other. Most of the excess mortality is caused by cars, guns, and drugs - things that health expenditure has little to do with.

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.
Go. Check. Your. Ballot.

Yes but we need a better name
Say it with me: Tea Party of the Left
That is what this moment calls for:
A loud, uncompromising, ideological faction that exists solely as opposition to the other side and pushes their own side toward hardline policy positions.

If the Democrats aren’t going to fight for the bare minimum for you, then we need to aim for the moon and the stars and go for what we really want. Universal healthcare. Universal basic income. Childcare. Free university education or free trade school.
Democrats won't create the lasting change or tap into the rage of the majority with Schumer and Jeffries in the lead. Centrists won't get it done, no matter how the establishment wills it. The country has radically shifted. The last 10 years is your evidence.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
