I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

People have a good reason to resist acknowledging the male loneliness crisis. They correctly perceive that women are being blamed and told to fix it.
But the real cause is predatory capitalists who profit on keeping men isolated and online.

It would be helpful if national Democrats started promising that they are committed to prosecuting the Republicans in the federal government who are breaking so many laws. And then promising that again, and again. The president's immunity doesn't protect anyone else.

Not a hard question, except for the culture that pretends it's not the answer
1) right-wing media lies incessantly, so anyone truth-based doesn't trust it, and anyone who trusts it doesn't trust anything else
2) other media treats those lies as legitimate, for "fairness," getting trust from no one

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.
Check out how tiny the crowds were:
Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000

The core mission of the NYT is to make sure no one believes Justice Brandeis: "We may have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
Anytime you ask “why did the Times cover it this way?” or whatever corporate media it is, remember that influential moderates are the tool of the wealth class and are there to normalize whatever the wealthy want and create doubt regarding reform and change.

Many Democrats (especially the powerful leaders) still pretend that we can have both democracy and concentrated wealth. Not true.

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go!
Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest.

Kimmel is back. Destruction of 1stA and authoritarian rule averted (for now). And it’s due to the power of we, the people. Same public protest that got Nixon out of office may succeed here too. Keep up the fight. #Reist.

It may feel like media speaks as one voice, but in fact the number of journalists, editors, writers, presenters at prestige/agenda setting outlets has shrunk unimaginably. It may feel like political actors all agree, but the parties are hollow shells made only of funders, consultants and sycophants.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.
As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

There’s a growing case for UBI coming from the (shrinking, but still extant) sliver of the right that sincerely cares about fiscal policy. The basic outline is “eliminate most targeted safety net programs, cut a check, institute national health insurance, bam. More lightweight government.”
