People ask me all the time how I manage studying something as painful and emotionally taxing as slavery and public health… look at OUR world folks… I have a much easier time contemplating the lives and survival strategies of the dead than the living. We are such a mess and we know it and keep it up.

In 2015, I lost my temper during a break in a grad seminar about finance and federal funding priorities in the Obama admin… it was an early class, I’d had no coffee, I short circuited, and everyone except one lefty feminist looked at me crazy… and now we witness the consequences she and I feared…

Like if we fed everyone, gave everyone healthcare and mental healthcare, took care of the environment, stopped doing genocides, and stripped away all the guns… idk maybe granny would live to see her great grands? And maybe the great grands would be able to deal when she dies? IDK?!

In short, being anti GOP is insufficient. The Dems have also harmed children. Don’t let those liberals off the hook.
The bar is in hell… anybody could get primaried… hush about DSA WFP “idealism,” hush about Bernie. Get comfortable with change. Stop protecting capital.

For real goodnight.

Their anti-intellectualism and affronts to critical, progressive discourse as an institution and as individuals tell you all you need to know. These people are morally bereft, have no journalistic integrity, and hide under a sinister veneer of liberalism. It’s trash.

Again and again, the paper has proven itself to be a mouthpiece for xenophobia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, center-right nationalism, and (most recently and publicly) a cover for pedophiles. Frankly, I don’t care about the background of the staff member, question the integrity of all.
