I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

This has got to be the move. You've got to start calling it out, explicitly, every time it happens. Make them embarrassed to do it.

You know it's an incredibly boring season of #bb28 when Mallory (who has been a nonfactor the entirety of the game) does a cutthroat motion and everyone screencaps it and shares like it's some big deal.

Bluesky should go back to invites, continue aggressive bot bans, create a Craigslist-style marketplace (since you’re more likely to buy/get services from a educated or good person on here than any other social network), and market this place like a walled garden protected from enshittification.

BB28 episode 11 showed Kamu turning a tea party into another opportunity to target Jason, who responded with his own tea party. But it's what we've seen on the live feeds—and Kamu's social media—that make this uglier than just game play. #BB28 #BigBrother

Is BB28’s Jason vs. Kamu just game? Or a shame?

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

As a reader I find that periodically scanning your @bookshop.org wishlist and seeing a book go on sale (usually $4 or less) truly feels like opening Christmas gifts as a kid. And to know it's going to a good cause instead of Amzn is even better.

It feels strange that humanity dreams of finding life on distant planets while forests here vanish every day. A forest takes decades to grow, to cool the air, protect wildlife, and create peace—yet only moments to destroy. The most important world is the one we already inhabit.

A plurality of Californians have chosen the morphine of suburban comfort before the purifying hardship of progress and compassion for the homeless. I've said it many times before: if you're not poor and you vote based on what's good for you instead of on moral principles, you are a bad citizen.

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.
