I am not a reddit user other than the occasional need for information or bits about local news that news outlets won't print. That said, I kind of wish I'd bookmarked the thread where some moron said nola tourism wouldn't be hurt by Canadians staying at home. #nolasky

You can't have Obamacare AND Medicare for All. You can't increase military spending AND cut military spending. You can't have a Green New Deal that lets states spend the money on road repairs. You can't leave the minimum wage at $7.25 an hour and claim to be pro-worker. That's the problem.

The same people telling you #AI is going to deliver an unprecedented age of prosperity and leisure, that it will eliminate so many jobs that most people will need to have the needs taken care of for them, are also saying they don't want to pay taxes to for even food stamps and medicaid.

On the one hand, I think it's the glitchy little out of time drum bits on this that are the thing I like about it and on the other, I'm sure those are what killed any chance that an otherwise pretty catchy song would ever be an alternative radio hit.

1. I walked to Breaux Mart earlier and nearly bought one of my favorite ice cream flavors from Van Leeuwen. I saw that the container is now 14 ounces, not 16. I was hesitant to buy it at their price -before- I saw it was only 14 ounces.

Apparently, speaking like a decent person while you condemn something will never be enough for some people on social media. You must use the angriest, harshest language possible or your condemnation is somehow veiled solidarity. Who hurt y'all?

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.

On plenty of political questions, reasonable people may differ. Where I grant I may be wrong. Ones where I am sure I am right, but respect wrong answers as legitimate.
But the most important question has only one legitimate answer. All people are equal in rights and dignity. All.

Laying down a marker: The alternative to Trumpism is freedom, rights, mutual respect, and equality under the law. That means for all, trans people very much included.
The alternative to Trumpism is not let's agree to treat some people as second class to placate the bigots. On that, I'm a hard no.

If America is waking up, my primary concern continues to be whether trans people's resistance will be a symbol of the need to resist tyranny, or if our humanity will be a negotiating chip to paper over divisions among factions.

Colorado voters have approved raising taxes on households earning over $300,000 to fund meals for all public school students, raise salaries for school meal staff, and bolster SNAP at the state level.

Every dollar in tax breaks for the rich is either a dollar in tax increases for working families or a dollar in cuts to services for working families. Now think about all the tax cuts the wealthy have received over your entire lifetime.

DS9 S7E25/26 (now packaged as one episode) "What You Leave Behind" ends my rewatch. I probably won't wait a dozen years to do it again. The final episode Still my favorite Trek series. Finale tried a little too hard to give everyone a good moment to end on....
