my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies
I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

Please NEVER talk to cops; especially without a lawyer present. If you have the misfortune of encountering police who request info other than can be discerned by your lawfully obtained ID, keep your mouth shut unless you are calmly, clearly asserting your right to legal counsel. Now, more than ever.

Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, let’s steal some of their policies.
In Denmark:
- Health care and college are free.
- The starting wage is $22/hr.
- Paid parental leave is 1 year.
- Paid vacation is 6 weeks.
- All workers get pensions.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right.
The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy.
We must end that international embarrassment.
Yes. We need Medicare for All.

How it started:
We don’t need anything from Canada!
How it’s going:
• Wait, they’re our main source of aluminum?
• Oil too? Seriously?
• Potash? So farms need that?
• They spend billions in tourism?
• They make American cars?
• My house is basically Canadian?
• WTF, we rely on them for electricity?

Throwing people in jail without any reason, and without telling anyone where you are taking them, is, in fact, bad.

I thought Bloody Sunday happened in Northern Ireland in 1972. Apparently there are a whole bunch of Bloody Sundays. Like 20 or more according to Wikipedia.

Do the people in the USA ever question the fact that they are the richest country in the world, but crime, healthcare, education, life expectancy are all like a 3rd world country.
Do they not realize they are being robbed?

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Trump said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and push the millions of Palestinians living there into neighboring countries.
There is a name for this — ethnic cleansing — and it’s a war crime.
This outrageous idea should be condemned by every American.
