In both cases, life has been drastically reshaped for the worse and society is taking it with a shrug. In both cases, reasonable concerns and radical demands are treated as equally ignorable. AI is making everyone's life worse, both boosters and critics acknowledge that, but nothing is done.

The work that makes money relies on the vast amount of work that doesn't. Basic income recognizes both, supporting the work such as that of care, creative work, research and study, and acting in the commons.

An Iceberg showing what's visible is jobs and the huge amount Invisible is unpaid work.

Ayup, what’s happened is the taboo against marijuana has lessened but racial stigmatization hasn’t so now we have people who love to vape big clouds who also support racist policing and state violence under the logic of “stopping drugs”

If they get both chambers Dems could pass several simple one-page bills with ultra-popular stuff like raising the minimum wage. No lobbyist BS, no games with amendments, something a middle school social studies class can understand and dare the Rs to veto.

My mom fully retired and said, "F*ck it, I'm done.” Not. She started by acting in one community theater. Now she acts in three regularly, plus writes and directs short plays at another one. She also volunteers with PP and voting rights orgs all the time. She's so lazy for an 84 yo 🤩

Trump’s ballroom must be instantly torn down for rule of law, fire code hazards, damnatio memoriae, and symbolic reassertion that We the People are sovereign. But also clearly for national security. Like the bribe plane from Qatar, we know foreign interests are involved but don’t know all they did.

It’s not that I think people who commit heinous crimes don’t deserve to die. But I’ll never support the death penalty as long as our justice system is unjust. An unjust system should never have the power to make irreversible decisions, especially when Black people disproportionately pay the price.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."

Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

This 100% applies to trans and queer kids. I'm sorry that your imaginative empathy can't stretch to another person's direct experience, but why should you expect another person to suffer for your failings? Believe queer kids. Believe trans kids. You, who have no experience, do not know better.

My favorite is when people who have no experience of a thing think they can talk all day about a thing. If you don't have ADHD, then how do you "know" it's over-diagnosed? If you don't need SSRIs, then how do you "know" others don't need them? This is literally basic empathy.
