I love this, a perfect little illustration of how “electable” has become, to centrists and the pundit-brained, this quality somehow wholly divorced from the ability to convince people to vote for you.

I love to be told that feminism has failed women by women whose careers and ability to flourish in public life, let alone have a credit card, only exist because of feminism

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

These guys probably aren’t even known by the whole state but specifically the SE corner of MN (and maybe NE IA and western WI?). They were too sweet for me even as a kid at the peak of my sugar tolerance

I guess I don’t see the disconnect between “we should live under an economic model where getting fired doesn’t mean the loss of your entire livelihood” and “it’s OK to dismiss people from customer-facing jobs when they’re actively hostile to their customers”
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

what's wild about this administration is the extent to which the only move they have is doubling down
they're deeply, horrendously underwater and every single thing they do is another loud fuck you aimed at alienating anyone who doesn't already drink the kool-aid

Cat joined me while shoveling the other day. First time he’s been outside in the winter since moving in with us and he didn’t care for the snow but also refused to just go back inside

This is why the lack of follow up questions is so frustrating. Which culture? What practices are going away? The simple act of getting into specifics would do wonders. Pretty much all of politics at this point is making the broadest possible points and begging people to project themselves into them.
Rep. Kat Cammarck: "Today, one in six people in the US is foreign born. That quite frankly is not sustainable to maintain a culture that we are known for here in the United States."

I think part of this is there is a vast discrepancy in what different people see as a "disability," and that's before getting into how many people have, in fact, invisible disabilities, which contributes to a culture of thinking way more people are "abusing" the system than they are.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

This won’t help in the short term but in the long term I’m skeptical that there’s really that many accommodations that are both a) so inherently scarce that we can’t design a system that just provides enough for everyone who wants it and b) so desirable that people are willing to cheat to get them
