"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

I sued the insulin cartel and cut the cost of insulin from hundreds per month to just $35. That’s making life more affordable. If you don't think you can make life more affordable, you shouldn't be running, Ron.

we tracked months of rent payments to an estimated 13,000 families. the expected cost of rehousing those families, had they entered eviction, would be north of $218 million dollars. keeping them housed cost around $38-40 million

I hope people read Gloria Steinhem's criticism of white feminism.

Gloria Steinem on "white feminism", racism and why white women voted for Trump
The feminist leader says the feminist movement should be for everyone - but that we need to be prepared to have difficult conversations about race.

First Liam Conejo Ramos. Now Liam Tadeo.   How many five-year-old boys need to be taken by ICE before Republicans will admit to the cruelty of this mass deportation campaign? Where is our humanity? How can we justify putting a five-year-old through this?

A succinct verdict on the persecution of the poor young academic who just died by suicide. Plagiarism is common. Persecution of the kind he endured is uncommon, aka selectively applied. The reason why he was targeted seems as clear as it is ugly.

I remember feeling paranoid for parking a few blocks away from an anti-ICE organizing meeting with the assumption they'd do this, so good/terrible to confirm it happened?

A ton of Target Field “nonprofit” volunteers were actually misclassified workers. (Their presence was also used to screw regular stadium workers.) Good job by AG Ellison & staff. We gotta save Keith in November!

From descriptions of Donald Trump, stated between 2015 and 2018, by Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina.

A race-baiting, xenophobic bigot
The Islamic State’s “man of the year”
The death of the GOP’s relationship with Hispanic voters
A death blow to the GOP’s relationship with women
The world’s biggest jackass
A wrecking ball
A salesman of fear
A politician whose ideas are gibberish
A politician who is incapable of representing a mattress company
A poor representation of a Republican
A president who is unfit for office
A president who sometimes crosses the line
A Twitter user whose tweets are sometimes beneath the office of the presidency
A man who has a blind spot
A thoughtful person
A good person
A strong person
A golfer with an accurate drive and an athletic swing
A president doing a great job
The best hope in decades for peace
A potential recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

In Minnesota, girls sell lemonade on the street to help their sisters arrested by ICE. Stephen Miller’s goons are very much still here. Sign reads, “Please help us raise money for my sisters because they were arrested by ICE” & this has been confirmed by trusted community members.

I’ve worked in federal grants for 15+ years and the proposed OMB rule changes are the most ideological I’ve ever seen. They propose events in public spaces must be viewpoint neutral, even if they're not funded by federal funds. First amendment nightmare fuel
