"The real crisis is not that public health — which is fundamentally about policies dictating the distribution of resources required to protect human life — has been politicized. It is that it has not been politicized nearly enough."— @ericreinhart.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

I really have no idea whether America is going to survive this fascist attempt to end the democratic republic, but if it does it will be despite the active collaboration of the Republican Party and the utter fecklessness of the Democratic Party. It’s quite a place we’re in.

Here's a list of democrats that need to face primaries from the left: Reps. Ami Bera and Jim Costa, both of CA; Ed Case of HI; Laura Gillen and Tom Suozzi, both of NY; Jim Himes of CT; Chrissy Houlahan of PA; Marcy Kaptur of OH; Jared Moskowitz of FL; and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of WA. Just 'cause.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

Bullshit that the #mtleg prioritizes members like Sen. Emrich carrying 40 bills over making informed decisions or public participation & we end up with situations like Chair Lenz limiting citizen testimony to just saying their name.

Elon Musk just called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, so it’s worth reiterating: All functional retirement schemes, public or private, pre funded or pay as you go, are claims on future production - there's just no way, at scale, of storing current production for use during retirement

Do we want to defend being human, or are we willing to submit to our species being ground into soulless and degraded flesh paste for the benefit of a few hundred dead-eyed tech billionaires? THAT is the fundamental question that the Musk/Trump techno feudalist regime have presented humanity with.

As Justice Breyer said, "America’s public schools are the nurseries of democracy." Which means that by expanding voucher programs, the GOP is poised to erode not only the separation of church and state but also democracy, by using public money to promote Christian nationalism to kids.

I am never going to forget the virulent, eliminationist anti palestinian racism that this society's elites have chosen to tolerate while pretending to care about universalist human values. I simply cannot unsee it.

With nobody at the wheel at CDC, conditions for your kid’s daycare to turn into a measles clearinghouse are already ripe without any help from the #mtleg. Turn out tomorrow at 3 to Sen. HWPH to oppose Sen. Lenz’s SB285, which greatly undermines childcare immunization requirements.

With all the brave public anti-administration statements coming from former Scalia clerks and lifelong members of America's Neofeudalism Institute, I'm begging the Democrats to remember that more than one of you can talk at once about more than one thing at once, and people can then report on that.
