Call it anecdotal, but my Canadian friends who are cancelling their US travel are not doing it because of tariff worries at all; they’re doing it because the US government is currently actively threatening Canada’s sovereignty and economy and they’re all justifiably furious

Psychological safety is NOT about lack of disagreement. Psychological safety REQUIRES: * disagreement and debate * setting standards for behavior and performance, and enforcing them * telling people things they don't want to hear * courage, from the bottom up * humility, from the top down

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

Put another way: I’ve never had the sense that Yglesias has any actual values, just strategies. “Moderating” is a questionable strategy when you have no control over what “moderate” means and you’re just reacting to bad-faith fascists who will demand that you abandon value after value.

My piece on crappy headlines and scaremongering about ADHD, PIP and disability support more widely is in today’s app edition of @the-independent.com - and how our society distrusts difference and thinks all disabled people should be angelically suffering rather than living their lives.

Headline: Accusing people with ADHD of making it up is a disgrace

A picture of some pills and beads spelling out ADHD with the caption: Awareness and understanding usually lead to an increase in diagnosis and treatment – this doesn’t make it a scam (Getty)

First par: ADHD is villain of the week again, is it? It must be a Friday. A new study by the University of Huddersfield and Aston University shows that ADHD prescriptions have risen 18 per cent year on year since the pandemic which has led to headlines of a “scam” around ADHD diagnosis, and the usual sympathetic calls for people not to be so pathetic and to Just Get On With It.

The word "entitled" has so many of y'all confused. There's a difference between: "She is entitled" And "She feels entitled" The implication of feeling entitled, is often that you are not entitled. If you've paid into social security your whole career, you *are* entitled to benefits.
