Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.
A summation of the situation where people are directed to focus their ire at fraudulent benefit claimants rather than at the rich who are the cause of all poverty.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I dunno I think neoliberalism’s grand plan of dismantling the welfare state and the social contract and replacing them, respectively, with nothing and nothing created a pretty fertile breeding ground for fascism and this isn’t even particularly controversial anymore.

so much cultural and political effort gone towards making a project of pacifism and an end to war seem like a soft, prosaic concern of comfortable people rather than an essential part of the project of justice and human flourishing

Sabriel / Lirael / Abhorsen by Garth Nix? I'm not sure if it's quite the right age, although Sabriel reads a little younger than the others, I think. (There is another sequel I cannot vouch for)

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

If I was a democratic comms person, I would get on TV and say simply: people are in the streets because the Trump administration lied. They said they were going to deport violent criminals to make America safer, but instead they're deporting ordinary working families, making America less safe.
