For history’s sake it’s important to remember this didn’t come out of nowhere. It’s been 13 years since Occupy Wall Street and class disparity and affordable care has gotten much worse, while a president, about to have a 2nd term, is only interested in helping the wealthy. People are in pain.

I’m a smart person. And I am continually humbled by the steps I need to learn/take to get healthcare. Do I need precertification for this surgery? Was anyone going to tell me I did? The doctor will give me a cost estimate but the anesthesia is SEPARATE so contact the hospital etc etc.

This is the 2nd lowest approval rating for a presidential transition since CNN started asking the question after Bill Clinton won. (The only transition that was less popular was Trump’s first.) Now ask yourself what kind of echo chamber you need live in to look at those numbers and offer this take.

This is HUGE! They already offer so many of their politically important texts for reduced prices, and with this, there really is no excuse to not at least pick up some ebooks. I'll link some ideas too, for stuff not on the gift guide!

My view is that extrajudicial vigilante killings are not good, but the incuriosity of well-compensated columnists about why millions of people’s horrific, life-changing experiences with a sprawling, cruel, bankruptcy-inducing health care system might lead them to feel differently makes me really sad

To really never need to think about healthcare in America, you need to be making roughly $1 million constant-dollars/year in passive income, post taxes and after living expenses + buying private health insurance. Per. Person. That’s not a typo. And it’s probably an underestimate. Seriously.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

Canadian MP Charlie Angus just sounded off on Trump. "So yes, they are our neighbors, but we've stood up to them. We're in a different situation with Trump, a convicted predator, who's seriously undermining the democratic process in the US. And he thinks he can just push us around. He insults us."

Aside from the cheap virtue signaling (“Look how I, the objective journalist, am totally not falling for the liberal echo chamber and instead hear what regular folks say!”): What is the actual argument supposed to be? A majority approves of how Trump is handling the transition and so… Trump is good?

"Arguing about whose lives are expendable is one of America’s favorite pastimes"

It is a rare thing for an American CEO or other public figure to be targeted in this manner. But the structure of feeling it unleashed did not seem novel to me. Americans have a great deal of recent experience assessing the worthiness of strangers for execution. It’s one of the things we do together online: when someone is killed by a cop or vigilante; when a protester is mowed down by a car; when a Palestinian child is killed by an Israeli sniper or an Israeli civilian by Hamas. Arguing about whose lives are expendable is one of America’s favorite pastimes.

This. From the literal "comedy" memes about Palestinian deaths to the DNC attendees who mocked protestors about those deaths to the folks who justify the deaths of Black and brown trans women and folks with the "deception" justification. There certainly is a hierarchy when it comes to violence.

The manhunt for the United Healthcare shooter demonstrates something that I've tried to explain many times over the years, and that data shows is true: increasing police presence in a Black neighbourhood, usually *increases* the murder rate in that neighbourhood.🙂🙃 Wait... What?! Yes. Seriously.

100% correct. Dems promising to work with DOGE are trying to burnish their own credentials at the expense of the party’s ability to drive a clear message about what’s happening here. Democrats should be planning to fight these corrupt plutocrats, not offering to work with them.

The worst fact I know: Americans think they're saving for retirement, but they're really saving to pay a large unexpected medical bill.🤷🏿‍♂️ You see older people with no money, and you think they just didn't plan for retirement? Wrong. All that money in your 401k? You will not get to spend that.
