I will, at great personal cost, refrain from discussing the banality of evil, and asking if they manage to sleep at night because they dissociate, or just have convinced themselves of something like "i'm only one small part of the system" or "it's out of my hands." This kindness will go unnoticed.

But if trans girls are "cheating" by playing women's sports, what else are the sneaky trans people cheating about. They're also coming for Title IX. They don't care about women in sports. They want women out of sports. Please, I am begging you, stop falling for this shit.

Notably, travel times also did not increase outside the congestion zone. This mirrors what we have seen in other aggregate congestion pricing impacts. For example, it was predicted that drivers would change their routes to avoid the zone, creating new congestion; this, too, did not happen.

This is what the latest research shows would happen for an average family if we moved to #MedicareForAll instead of a profit-driven, privatized health care system. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
Threads post by @marks_wells_rector. Text reads: 
"The new Yale Medicare-for-All study is bigger news than it's getting. 
An average insured family of 4 pays about $10k/year today.
With M4A they will pay nothing unless they have income above $200K.
Above $200K: 6% only on income OVER $200K.
No premiums. No deductibles. No copays.
For most Americans, Medicare for All isn't a tax increase. It's a massive healthcare cost cut."

So many problems, in so many states, are downstream of our unwillingness to tax real estate at its market value, and more generally of our unwillingness to acknowledge that housing wealth is, in fact, wealth.

At some point you figure out that "being apolitical" in the public arts always means getting on your knees for the rich, the bigots, the fascists and authoritarians. It never means anything else, and those people are somehow never obligated to set their own politics aside on behalf of anyone else.

The reason we cannot surrender on "the sports issue" in exchange for other rights is because a surrender there is fundamentally a concession that trans women are not fundamentally women but just "men it is polite to pretend are women", and if we accept that, the rest of the edifice tumbles
