I’m that person who needs to go grocery shopping the day before Thanksgiving not FOR Thanksgiving but because I have no food in my house except guacamole.

People need food. Market won’t provide it. The government can. The government should.
People needing food does not necessarily imply government run grocery stores. Just as it does not imply government owned bakeries or millers or wheat fields.
Direct cash transfers are strong as a policy but not politically palatable.

Rita Hester was a beautiful soul and a fixture of the Boston queer community who lived large and unapologetically. Her unsolved murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance, but her story is often forgotten.
Today, we celebrate her life and continue the work to end violence against trans women.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives of transgender community members violently cut short by prejudice and hate. The reality is devastating: anti-trans violence is an epidemic, disproportionately targeting young, marginalized people, especially Black and Brown trans women.

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats.
Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
It's the very least they should be doing!

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Based on the justices’ own words, Judge Angel Kelly reasonably concluded that “not all Supreme Court writings are equal”
put differently......not all of the Court’s opinions are worth following!

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts
“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”

So depressing that any political issue in this country is either about immigration or is blamed on immigration. We need someone with a voice brave enough to call this out for what it is; hysteria, deflection of blame and good old fashioned racism. Shame on any party or person involved.
