A lot of people don't fully understand the extent to which SEPTA is Philly's school bus. Every morning and afternoon, tens of thousands of kids going to public, charter, and private schools across the city, rely on SEPTA to get them to and from school. SEPTA cuts would be devastating to families.

"Holodomor," literally, "death by hunger": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor (The article linked is about the 1930s Ukrainian Holodomor, and people still argue whether it qualifies as genocide; I suspect that for the millions of Ukrainians who died in it, the distinction is without difference)

The best illustration of gaze is this video in which someone swapped the video game character skins between Batman and Catwoman. Both characters are fully clothed but the camera treats one very differently from the other. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUWB...

The first redistricting proposals for TX are in. This is what cracking and packing looks like. This is an intensive gerrymander. See how the districts spiral in fingers into the cities. Lizzie Fletcher's district TX7 becomes almost entirely rural.

A reminder that Bondi already has access to all of the Epstein files, but is pretending that she needs to go through the laborious process of unsealing grand jury testimonies. It’s all political theater to fool the rubes in her base into thinking she’s doing something. She’s just covering for Trump.

I think there may be an argument to be made that it is harder to sell books to ONLY men, because younger men read less and women no longer accept that the male POV is the default way of viewing the world. But as the kids say, this is a skill issue, for the writing and the marketing.

The mad king demands the return of racist sports team names
The Washington “Whatever’s” should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past. Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!

ACA health insurance will cost the average person 75% more next year, research shows
A new analysis shows that health insurance premiums for Obamacare are set to soar next year, as financial help that subsidized the cost expires. Congress is not likely to extend the subsidies.

The Patriot system Germany promised to send to Ukraine will only be ready in 6–8 months, Bild reports citing a German government source. Originally, the plan was for the US to supply air defense while Germany financed replenishment. But Trump declared the US military won't give up a single unit.

Gun-related suicides hit a new high in the U.S. for the 3rd year in a row. In 2023, guns caused nearly 47,000 deaths—one every 11 minutes—and were the leading cause of death for kids aged 1–17 for the 4th straight year. Healthcare professionals asking patients about firearm access CAN save lives.

It is in no one’s interest to militarise the Arctic but thanks to something of an arms race heating up between the US, Russia and China, that is precisely what looks to be happening.
