This administration, the plentiful bought and paid for politicians, and the power barrons in the markets are packaging and selling us. The American Dream is no longer, if it ever was.

I tried talking my college kiddo out of it. But as the child of two teachers, she thought she wanted to give it a go. Junior year and classroom placements helped her figure out a pivot was in her path. It is not a healthy choice these days.

I fear Gd@imon has changed its result field because they are about to start selling a search membership. At $ you get 10 results (but all sponsoredlinks), at $$ you get 20 links (bonus of 5 them may be legit), at $$$ you get 30 links (10 legit), at $$$ you get what we had in 2005.

The moms risking arrest to protect gender-affirming care for trans youth
The government wants to ban the care nationwide. Hospitals are shutting down treatment. Parents just want it all to stop.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Women are watching abusive dynamics play out on the national stage and for many it feels very, very familiar to what they’ve experienced regularly— I hope midterms are a referendum

Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about. What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars. We're paying for the torture of children. I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

America has always had its hurts. Hell, it sometimes stood silent while her citizens were in pain, and sometimes looked the other way while witnessing others inflict pain. But these days America is actively, knowingly inflicting hurt, and codifing injustice. Fuck Donald Trump.

Beware consolidating loans if you plan to apply for loan forgiveness. (Granted loan forgiveness and the Passenger Pigeon could be paired on Connections.) I worked my 10 years in the public sphere, but my loan forgiveness application was declined because I consolidated my student loans.

Halloween is supposed to be about candy and costumes — not kids watching their neighbors thrown to the ground by federal agents. What happened in Evanston was violent and unacceptable.
