Public interest attorney. Feminist. Music nerd. Came here from the bad place.
I profoundly hate the world we've built.
Victim-blaming knows no bounds. I just saw someone blame a 70-year-old pedestrian for getting fatally struck by a car because he “should have been paying attention”

When I tell people that we have criminal evictions in Arkansas, they look at me like I have antennas. But we do. It's a shamelessly cruel place, and that's my theory on why our electeds are on TV defending murder.

More and more research is showing that in the US, extreme weather exacerbates quality of life disparities more than anyone previously was accounting for. It’s going to get worse.
"Our analysis shows that in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve...highlighting increasing disparities in their built environments."

I don't know exactly how the new birthright citizenship case will come out, but I'd note that if it eviscerates §1 of the 14th Amendment, the remedy of "just pass a constitutional amendment" wouldn't apply. The 14th is already there.

The sole public remedy would be to reform the Supreme Court.

He thinks a wealth tax is bad, but destroying all the earthly possessions of unhoused communities is his personal duty as Governor of California. I do not like this man.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

A perusal of today's Moscow papers leave no doubt as to Putin's objective with the 28-point plan. It's not peace in Ukraine. It is to drive a wedge between the US and its European allies and NATO.

Just as the effects of climate change have become destabilizing, the federal government is trying to disinvest from disaster recovery.
A much-anticipated report on reforms to FEMA that former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant helped draft "got nuked" by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's office as the administration pushes for drastic cuts instead, a former FEMA official said.

Rape and abuse and pedophilia and all these things are bad in the abstract but we’re not allowed to say who’s doing it and we’re not allowed to say who was victimized by it. We can’t come up with ways to stop it from happening, either
