POV you just told your friend about the November ballot initiatives to stop the Millionaires Tax, require teachers to out kids to their parents, and also require genital inspections of minors who want to play girls’ sports:

Why doesn't spending on military & law and order BS have the same racist arguments as government spending on essential needs (healthcare, housing, good)? E.g. if we invest it will help some lazy other that doesn't deserve it Oh that's right, because it's directly targeted at marginalized others

my favorite part of people telling us not to eat ultra processed foods is that it always stops there. no suggestions for how to make this a systemic change, no effort to limit availability of ultra processed foods. it's just "you know the food that's everywhere and affordable? stay away from it."

Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference

It's probably a good idea to listen to the people who were saying "abolish ICE" ten years ago and pay attention to what dangers they're pointing out now and maybe get on board with that stuff too

Should we refer to anyone who has ever jaywalked as an "illegal"? I mean they got here illegally, so if undocumented immigrants are illegals, so are jaywalkers, right?

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

The brutal murder of Messiah Nantwi by corrections officers in NY reminds us that the US never needed El Salvador or CECOT to have unconstitutional death camps. The 22 yr-old was beaten til unconscious, then beaten back awake only to be finally beaten to death. One CO ran up and punted his face.

In 20 years, people will assume every white man in any position of authority is a "DEI HIRE" Because historically, and especially right now deeply unqualified white men are being placed in positions of authority.

Kind of crazy how the people who came from another continent and built their wealth via the transatlantic slave trade and stealing someone else's land are obsessed with wrecking their own economy in order to save it from "globalization" Child, you might want to sit down for this....

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

how can we use this opportunity (liberals getting more active in protesting & activism) to radicalize more of them? could expand the voter base for things like universal health care, more regulations on landlords, higher taxes on wealthy to fund social programs, and class consciousness in general

Ukraine and our failure to live up to our agreement to defend them if they gave up their nukes is such a reinforcement that countries should 1) get nukes and 2) never give them up if we try to push denuclearization at this point ppl should just point at us and laugh maniacally

if feds can take land near the border for security reasons, can they not take property elsewhere for security reasons? e.g. lack of housing impacts security, take unused land and repurpose for safety of citizens
