As a disabled and marginal person, I burned out badly because I lost all access to the dance. Maybe if I regain that I'll heal enough to return to the fight. That is the first spark of hope I've felt in a long time.

A certain healthcare corporation who needs a new chief executive today once laid my dad off at 39.5 years of service so he wouldn’t be entitled to the 40 year pension. His team raised money themselves to give him a watch with “39.5 Years” engraved on it. I think about that watch A LOT.

In the real-world trolley problem, Track One has thousands of people tied to it, and Track Two has billions of dollars in corporate profits. The trolley departs every day on a regular schedule, always taking Track One, and nobody does a thing about it.

That's why there's an aggressive effort now to blame "identity politics," it's a retcon because Harris ran exactly the campaign centrists wanted, catering to conservatives, never criticizing Netanyahu, never blaming billionaires or big corporations, the works—just to lose to Old Man Yells at Cloud.
I agree on the centrist point and frankly there are a lot of people out there who are just saying what they need to say to cover their ass and cash a check. It sucks.
The Cheney thing is a clear example of a bad idea that the people who pushed it won’t take responsibility for. They need to

The right wing never gives up, never admits defeat. They just regroup and find a new wedge to hammer on. Bathrooms didn't work out the gate, so they aimed at sports, which got traction. So now they're back at bathrooms.

The only thing we need to know about the "alleged gunman" is absolutely nothing. As far as I'm concerned, the man shot himself.

Interesting how it isn't a qualifying life event that allows you to switch providers when the provider materially changes their service. Something something free market?

I think I know the answer to this, but does the NYPD go all Enemy of the State like this when the victim is, say, a 17-year-old Bed-Stuy resident rather than a 50-year-old Minnesota resident who happens to run an evil organization?

The other day I was pitching our Gilded Age course to undergrads:
“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a nation where the wealthy had insane power and ordinary people were reoeatedly crushed by them until they lashed out in anger?”

journalists really should have a gilded age/progressive era historian on speed dial for the next few years. it will help a lot!

Violence is part of our history.
Violence is incumbent in exploitive systems, and exploitation provokes backlash.
We are in a period of great wealth inequality, worker oppression, and social and cultural change.
Violence will likely be part of our future, unless people’s needs are addressed.
