It's true and we should say it.
Describe good virtues as American. Call bad things Un-American. Not reinforcing it is how we let them get redefined.

"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

This comment is clearly made in affectionate jest but I will say that over time I have been heartily relieved to discover my psyche understands the concept of "enough," and also that money is a tool to make lives better, not a cudgel to keep others down. I have my failures, but avarice isn't one.
What's wrong with you?
You are clearly making good money now, but you:
- still seem happy rather than angry you haven't got even more
- are making condition-free donations to good causes rather than bribes to FOTUS
- flying to new worlds. Oh wait...

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea.

Day 29. I refuse to stop talking about the ICE detention facilities where we know that people have died
I’ll have some disdain for those that’ll only be motivated to act by an economic collapse. Our country has been in crisis for far too long
We need action NOW

it is fun to read profiles of this guy which play him up as some diabolical mastermind and then watch him in action and see a huge loser
Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding ... we're gonna make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

The correlation between people who actively worry about "echo chambers" and people who would be punched square in the face if they spouted their shitty ideas in public without a whole internet as a security barrier is pretty damn high
Reminder that concerns about "echo chambers" are a fake idea, we simply do not owe access to ourselves from anyone who demands it, least of all on a site that is designed for leisure and entertainment
Who gives a shit, it's a website where I post my silly little thoughts to my friends, not the Senate floor

The arrest of labor organizers by DPD is a clear attack on our 1st amendment rights. The time to stand up and fight back is now. Those before us fought for the labor rights of today. They sacrificed everything to build a world where the worker is more than a tool to be used by the billionaires.

Today at least two judges were arrested for acts that are not criminally illegal and a two year old U.S. citizen was kidnapped and shipped to Honduras by ICE, who called it a "deportation."
Are we great again yet?
