Has anyone watched Interior Chinatown yet? I loved the book, and I can't quite imagine how they're going to structure the story to make the metaphor work—or maybe it's just its own, also good but different, thing once its on screen?

Found this gem on the CDC website:
In 1900, the three leading causes of death were:
Pneumonia
Tuberculosis (TB)
Diarrhea + Enteritis
Add diphtheria, and these diseases caused 1/3 of all deaths
40% were among children under 5.
This is why we're required to vaccinate!

It is extremely important when looking at these stats to understand that this is *INTENTIONAL*. This is part of the evangelical, GOP playbook. It's why Project 2025 wants to eliminate the Dept of Education and boost homeschooling. Uneducated, uninformed people are easier to control.
Literacy is relevant to understanding the election:
54% of adults in the United States read at below a 6th grade level.
These people might not be aware of what the words “fascism” or “tariff” mean, but they did know their groceries cost more.

Ruby Bridges is younger than my mother.
On this day in 1960, a six-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first Black student to attend William Frantz Elementary School, an all-white school in Louisiana.
A mob protested her.
This is not ancient history. Ruby bridges is 70 now.

Every time I get a text that says something like, "You have a USPS package that cannot be cleared by customs because of an invalid postal code..." with a form to fill out, it takes me a split second to recognize it as spam and delete. Which makes me super stressed about what my parents might do!

“Roughly 90 percent of women who marry adopt their husband’s last name. Roughly 90 percent of married female voters have different name on their ID than on their birth certificate. 34 percent of women could be turned away from polls unless they have precisely the right documents.”

How the Republican War on Women Extends to Voting Rights
Most women vote Democratic. And most still change their name when they marry. And that’s where the GOP sees an Achilles’ heel.
