Yesterday 15% of charlotte students were absent now that ICE has invaded. The normal absentee rate is half that. So many children are missing out on their childhood’s because of racism

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

Paris also spent a big part of their Olympic budget on improving public transit. Many of the sites were in neighbouring communities/feeder towns and they all got new rail and bus links. Not to mention cleaning up the Seine.
This is a crisis of imagination.

When Vancouver got the Olympics, it spent USD $1.5 billion on a train line from the airport to downtown — a piece of infrastructure that saves commuters and visitors time and money while cutting pollution.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

This. Don’t know if this is what happened here, but it has been giving me memories of how demoralizing it is to find out someone you thought was a champion of your work is just trying to date you.

Sick to my stomach that the President being mixed up with a horrifying global network of pedophiles is considered a 'voter issue' and not something the whole world needs to know about and people need to be prosecuted for.

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

'Could not do that' and 'should not be able to do that' (or hell even 'could not do that if relevant limits were enforced') are two different things!

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.
They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.
