A plurality of people also voted for various socialist and communist parties. It was a choice made by the people in power to keep letting them get away with it. Fascism has never had true popular support, just a system that they know how to game.

Money can't buy happiness, but lack of money can buy you a whole lot of anxiety and extra stress.

One thing I don’t understand is why, when people are outraged by some injustice or affront — like book bans — they don’t first look to see who is already tracking the issue, who’s already working on education + organization. “We need to do something!” People *are*. Find them. Help them.

The only thing the GOP knows how to do is punish people for the crime of being poor.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Literally every time any non-American dunks on the US’s dysfunction, the uniform response from Americans is “yep, we know.”

Sure, people are mad at NYT now, but wait until Trump says "Failing New York Times" again and watch their coffers overflow faster than you can say "Megyn Kelly."

The Supreme Court effectively destroying OSHA in parallel to the project of bringing semiconductor fabs back to the United States seems like an important thing to keep an eye on given the industry left the USA in part bc of heightened health and safety concerns (context in Verge piece)

The links between climate change and spiking housing and resource costs are still not very well known but that's what I'm referring to. You don't need to move cities to be internally displaced, that's why it's called internal displacement

Why Cities Need to Think More About the Intersection of Housing and Climate Changewww.nlc.org Housing and climate change are inseparable. We only need to read the news to understand climate change’s profound impact on housing from Hurricane Ian, which caused $112.9 billion in economic damages…

It's kind of amazing how as soon as some people feel political pressure pressing down on them, they start doling out the ableist language left, right, and centre—"deranged," "sane," "crazy." It's always the go-to when people are desperate to feel power.

I 100% believe some Democrat party donors and strategists want Dimon or Bloomberg because they are the kind of wunderkinds that got us to Biden trailing a rapist felon in every swing state

My understanding is the blocked Jamelle Bouie has been making a case for Harris if Biden goes and I'd like to make the case that people stop listening to these people.

Biden is turning into that episode of the Simpsons with Johnny Carson where he told the writers not to make him look old and frail.

Read the Times story about Biden. They say he seems more visibly exhausted and physically frail than years ago, confuses names more. No real accusation of mental problems. Includes an anecdote of Biden yelling at Netanyahu. Sources speculate his schedule is too demanding relative to his age.

People have been working on this - building irrational fear/hate triggers since the Arab Spring and the first waves of European "migrant crisis" started. They've pushed completely inflammatory videos of 3 seconds of actual migrants followed by hours of soccer brawls and police riots & people buy it

Something real bad is happening over on Twitter holy shit. I just saw some real bad tweets about immigrants from folks I had previously thought were anti-racist progressives
