Cities are terrific. It's why most people want to live in them.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

How nice for them. Next question: which act of Congress authorized this expenditure of federal funds? Quaint it may be, but our constitution forbids drawing funds from the treasury except pursuant to acts of congress.

📣 Over 5,000 Black Church clergy members and 6 nat'l faith orgs submitted comments against the rescission of the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects nearly 60 million acres of forests and grasslands within the National Forest System from the development of new road construction and logging.

Is it safe for me to say on here that I do not believe the polls about the Midterms? I don't trust white voters to be honest about their voting intentions with pollsters.

Student loans (whether a cause or effect) is directly linked to declining state share of higher ed funding. Reagan Boomers got it all and pulled the ladder up behind them, as usual.

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

"Disgraced." Hastert was paying hush money to another man whom he sexually abused as a child when he was the child's wrestling coach. He later admitted to molesting 4 kids. He got 15 months for the financial crimes (served 13); 0 months for the sex crimes, as the statute of limitations expired. 👇🏻

Replication cannot be an epistemic shortcut to bypass the scientific process of incrementally eliminating error. At this point I find this kind of lack of understanding and lack of respect for the scientific process infuriating. There are no shortcuts.

Domestic abuse is so widespread an issue that a major employer is incorporating employees' need to deal with it into their employee benefits. Union rep: "said domestic violence and abuse affected the lives of at least one in five women, and he urged other employers to introduce similar support."

In 1999 -- NINETEEN NINETY-NINE!!! -- I took an intro class at UT called "African Intellectual Thought," and it was rigorous and excellent, and it will not surprise you at all that none of the texts we read were written by people on this list. Just so depressing what's being done to my alma mater.

So, the US political machine hampers every attempt at labor protections and devalues all care work and critical thinking endeavors., yet we're supposed to think those aren't valuable? Clearly, they are important or they wouldn't be the focus of the ire of this administration and its backers.

This is absolutely correct, but I worry that "truth and reconciliation" will sound too foreign to Americans who have long been allergic to truth and/or reconciliation. I'd just say "we're finally going to hold people who broke the law and violated the Constitution accountable for their crimes"

The press coverage of the Academy of Natural Sciences has gone from "Oh how sad" to sounding like a hostage negotiation. Which maybe sounds bad, but elected leaders, the press, the people online, all saying "You don't have to do this, man" is better than mourning. share.inquirer.com/YTQg0s

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

speaking of bubbles, the billboard charts weigh paid streaming more than free or advertised, and no longer weighs YouTube streams AT ALL. so if you HAVE heard a song that’s been #1 on the charts, you could be in even more of a bubble than someone listening to a song with 200 million views
