we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

When a woman says “men are trash,” It’s really easy to console yourself with “she’s not talking about me”. But IMO it’s more helpful to realize that it COULD be you. We are all capable of being trash and it’s important to realize that society encourages us to do bad things for power.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

This is a good prompt to remind everyone that there are ~20 people in 🇺🇸 who could end all of this immediately, & all they'd need to do is caucus temporarily with Democrats & vote for impeachment & removal. An 100% of them are <Republicans> & they get free passes from the entire media every day.

Considering how fucking bleak all of George Pelecanos’s episodes of The Wire are, and how his characters and themes are pretty consistent across sources, it always surprises me how weirdly optimistic his books are?

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com

Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.
