Reading makes you smarter, folks!
“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.

my read is they were trying to whip up the usual frenzy, but then the effort got blown up by Candace Owens saying The Jews did it

now that we know what he’s being charged with it feels important to acknowledge that because of choices made by men, a woman and her fetus were put in danger. so often when men’s lives “fall apart” that women are the ones who are targets of their anger. consider a donation to this Ann Arbor org.

she called a customer the n-word, on the clock and behind the counter. apron on and everything. what the hell are y'all even doing.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Not to beat a dead horse, but we are seeing wide swaths of people putting themselves at risk to fight ICE, and Democrats owe it to them (and ICE's victims, of course) to destroy and prosecute ICE when we regain power.

Crucially: A change affecting the cap requires NWSLPA consultation. On @espn.com:

It's weird to include sentences about Reps not holding this corrupt administration accountable, Congress needing to reclaim its power as a check on the executive, and impeachment being designed for a corrupt executive's abuses of power in your statement about how you plan to do nothing about it
Significant statement from Jeffries and House Democratic leaders saying they will vote “present” on the motion to table Al Green’s resolution to impeach President Trump. They say they’re “laser-focused on fighting to lower the high cost of living” plus on health care and corruption.

Yeeeaaahh, as clearly indicated this thread, Mark Cuban has literally no idea how healthcare works for people who are not billionaires. His worst nightmare is the government doing what is literally standard practice for insurance companies!
For all Universal HC/Single Payer/M4A advocates.
What do the biggest, expensive hospital chains do. Do they opt out and only serve the rich ?
Who in the USA gov runs the program?
R U ok with having to see a primary care doc before you can see a specialist ?

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
