Reason for Unconditional, Universal #BasicIncome number 785389023746523497924 Means testing the disabled leaves them at risk for abuse, or forces them into poverty to get needed services.

Women choose the bear, because she can be raped by seven men, and they get scolded and help finding cushy jobs, while she has to justify every decision she made for years before and after it happens.

I think income caps on people running for office would be more effective than income caps on the elderly and disabled.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

I have two interests that do not usually turn up in the same sentence: #UniversalBasicIncome, & #grief. So I wrote a piece where they meet. Would #UBI let bereaved people stop working for a bit, without first proving who died & how close they were? aftergrowthollie.substack.com/p/would-univ...

Would Universal Basic Income Help the Bereaved?
The state already knows grief stops people. It just wants to know who died first.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Unconditional, Universal #BasicIncome is SO MUCH EASIER to implement and manage than patchwork means-tested programs. It is *LITERALLY* "just send everyone a check".

This is the antidote to the "Dignity of Work" poison. It's not selling our labor that brings dignity, it's doing things that *matter* to us, that are OUR CHOICE.

Non-GOP should be running on a platform of accountability and consequences. Instead we're getting pearl clutching over "boys playing girl's sports!" Notice no one is flailing over "girls playing boy sports!" It's all based in "We Think Trans People Are Icky!"

There is NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE that the SMALL number of transgender people in sports impacts "fairness" or "safety". @blakegendebien.bsky.social is yet another GOPLite Dem willing to throw transgender humans under the bus in order to get votes.

Basic human rights should not be conditional on one's ability or willingness to sell their labour. It's fucked up. every single fucking UBI study ever conducted has proven that UBI improves people's lives & lets them contribute to society *more*, not less. Enough with the fucking studies already!

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.

Every adult human being should get a spa-type weekend quarterly. 72 hours outside of their home where they do *absolutely nothing*. Someone else cooks. Someone else cleans. They get the massage of their choice. Pampering. Care. Attention. Nurturing.

We should bring back the social will to shame and ostracize people who are horrible. Racist? GTFO. Ableist? Get thee gone. Bigoted? YEET! Misogynist? EWWWW. One of the worst things we let happen was giving these people an unchallenged platform and voice.

I don’t want to share the gory details of the Cornell rape case, but two things are clear: Many men need a lesson in consent. Institutes of higher learning will bury rape allegations to protect their privileged male students and their reputations. Writing an essay is NOT sufficient punishment.

YES ALL FRATERNITIES. Every single fraternity is centered around rape culture behavior. Every single fraternity is focused on a Bro Code of silence and enabling. Every single fraternity is dedicated to shielding members from consequences.

If your reaction to someone being sexually assaulted, is to tell the victim what they did wrong that let the assault happen, then you have a major lack of morality.

A reminder that all the aspects of our economic system are made up and we can have a better system if we wanted to. Homelessness for example. We could have an economy that builds homes for homeless people. It does not have to be this way.

Disabled people make society uncomfortable. Left or right…. It doesn’t matter. People want to believe it can’t happen to them. That if they become disabled there will be a magic “fix”. We challenge their denial, so they deny us solidarity and support. That’s ableism.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and his government has committed genocide in Gaza. The United States should stop all military assistance to Israel. Saying this is not antisemitic. (I’m Jewish, by the way.)
