Not everyone has a 2 income family, not everyone has help. Not everyone has money in a savings account to fall back on.
Every parent does not have a reliable babysitter or a reliable vehicle. Some people only have THEMSLEVES. Some people live paycheck to paycheck.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics.
Government wins are often *the avoidance of loss.*
So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses *not* averted?

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I used to volunteer every year for a charity that collected gifts for underprivileged families and then flew them all over the state. My job was usually sorting and wrapping.
But one year, I was asked to help out on the runway, and my brain chemistry was forever changed by what I learned...

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.

First quote in this new @politico.com story is from RI's Dem committeeman Joe Paolino: "The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle” www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

The reason Elie Weisel said "no one is illegal" is because declaring people as "illegal" is an early step to creating a permission structure for mass dehumanization and genocide.
That's why it matters. We are in the business of words. Accuracy matters in the word business. Intent and context matter

There’s a “Dems use alienating campus language” discourse going on; I think it’s basically right. College-educated America — media, boardroom, Dems — does adopt language that other people don’t use and sounds odd to them.
Years ago, the AP replaced “illegal” with “undocumented immigrants.” (1/2)

Amazon has disrupted plenty of sectors, but its impact on the post office deserves more attention.
As long as government allows Amazon’s low-wage, non-union model to proliferate, postal workers and the institution are in trouble. I wrote about how this is playing out in Canada.
