Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

Did the President of the United States yesterday reiterate that he was fine with Iran launching nuclear weapons at American cities? Did he sit in the Oval & assert he is a Mad King who can do anything he wants to whomever he wants? It's hard to know, with the "Reverse Emails" on the front page:

I considered myself pretty attuned and aware, for a guy, but MeToo just opened my eyes. Every woman I know has been abused, molested, or assaulted. And my first reaction was 'I mean ... what are we counting?' and they describe their experience and I run screaming going 'that counts'.

A big part of the challenge we as historians face is convincing people that in talking or writing about the past, they are not necessarily doing history. That what we do requires as much skill and training as other more ‘important’ or valued disciplines

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

We can reduce unnecessary car trips. In my community, they're easy to spot -- we have noticeably lower peak traffic on Mondays and Fridays, due to telework. We surrendered return-to-office to white-collar employers. Now there's a cost of living crisis. We're fucking working from home again.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

I wear a helmet, as do most people who ride a bike in the US. But Streetsblog is 100% right here. Bike helmets do absolutely nothing to prevent crashes, and focusing on helmets necessarily pulls our attention away from the systemic changes we desperately need to keep all people safe on our streets.
