Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

Our dryer broke, bought a new one, fixed the broken one, and returned the new one.
So my wife says, “girl math says we now have enough money for a Switch 2.”

Getting accommodations should be an easy process. Fast and easy and simple requiring zero documentation. Just ask and get it. Or have a third party ask for you and get it.
It's basically impossible to get an IEP if you have a disabled kid who is currently getting good grades, so you have to wait until the grades start falling to get necessary accommodation. 🙃
Once again, no one making these claims seems to understand the enormous hurdles in the way of getting a kid the help they need - in this case - I dare anyone suggesting this to go through an IEP process.

Can you imagine how classroom funding would change if we went to Medicare for all?
The amount of money districts have to spend on insurance takes money out of the classrooms.
The savings would be able to shrink class sizes to something reasonable.

Any political story without a villain is incoherent. The gop has it. Life sucks because of minorities. As long as Dems fail to recognize the inherent conflicts in our system they’ll be ignored as a party.
The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.
