So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism. Every institution, norm, and value of democracy will be sacrificed for it. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Having healthcare tied to employment is frankly inhumane. But then I'm the kind of weirdo leftist who believes that all human needs, from housing to food to healthcare, are public goods we should provide.

9/11 gave us Homeland Security. It gave us ICE. And Guantanamo. And the surveillance state. And it laid the foundations for a country so afraid of a repeat it willingly gave up so many rights that we can barely fight to get them back without being branded enemies of the state.

MAHA has been in power for two years. They have decimated basic science, gutted food safety surveillance and kicked millions of people off food stamps. *That* is their ideology, not their polite platitudes about corporate control of the food supply.

The richest country in the world won’t ensure its citizens have safe drinking water. They won’t guarantee healthcare for all. They don’t provide housing or adequate social supports. They’re destroying public health. They voted against food being a human right at the UN.

Constitution Doesn’t Include Right to Clean Water, Court Rules
The US Constitution doesn’t provide a right to clean drinking water or accurate information from public officials, a divided federal appeals court ruled.

I know people whose birthdays were 9/11, before it "became 9/11." Obviously 11/3 isn't a national day of garment-rending and solemn reflection, but I'd like it noted for the record that 'sometimes America gets you a box of saltines as a present, and sometimes it's a box of snakes w/snake diarrhea?'

If you had told me when I was 6-12 that someday I'd be glad to take as many shots as the pharmacist would give me, *and that I'd be frustrated the newest best shots weren't available on demand,* I'd probably laugh. ... got a flu shot and finished my hep B series, but COVID is ~7 days or more out.

the old cliche is true as fuck here, truer than it has ever been - we do not mourn the passing of those who lived rich, full lives, that bettered those around them and brought sunshine wherever they went, but rather we celebrate that they were with us, and that we were blessed to live in their time.

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

Given the revenue hit Taco Bell is taking because of RFK’s removal of food safety oversight, I could see them suing the Trump admin. Taco Bell v. US Government feels like it would be the thing that finally breaks it.

Not for nothing, but I just remembered I was recently able to correct a friend's notion that an extremely-aged tortoise had not (as was being reported at the time) in fact died and was still among us! Anyway this Mitch McConnell deathwatch is, it's worth pointing out, way less joyous than that.

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.
