yeah. MeToo, the George Floyd protests, and an ~18 month period of very tight labor markets induced a mental breakdown across the power elite bsky.app/profile/laur...
it didn't even really provide me with any new information but that one email between epstein and some other random rich elite saying "when will the madness end" about the metoo movement felt like a key unlocking my brain that will explain every unforced institutional capitulation we've seen

I hear this all the time with the veterans who join the Vermont Worker's Center & the Nonviolent Medicaid Army.
Even with all its flaws, having access to healthcare for free (for life) is such a radicalizing thing. It makes it very clear that Healthcare is (and should be) a human right.

For all the shit given about the VA by civilians and vets alike, I cannot stress enough how much being covered under that with free care for the rest of my life radicalized me for how we could have this for EVERYONE if the government really wanted to

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out.

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue
