We killed millions of people to make room for a country where schools have mass shootings so often they have periodic twisted murder drills and the kids get to talk it about the endless trauma with a Game Boy, pretty good deal if you ask me

Those data points are not all created equal. Every vote is not a mild, fungible "yes" or "no." The pro votes are trending down, which shows they're wavering. The "no" votes, on the other hand, might as well be forged in Vibranium by the hammer of Thor.

Forget employee wellness programs, I want a full kitchen so I can bake a little batch of chocolate chip cookies when I start feeling snacky on a Friday afternoon, instead of driving to the store for expensive yet substandard cookies our getting ultra-processed garbage from the vending machine.

You kan not run educacioun lyke a businesse. A businesse ys meant to make a profit. Educacioun ys meant to make the future. A businesse ys meant to serve customers. Educacioun ys meant to empower citizens.

America is the Murakami novel character who just became aware that they accidentally had too much fun in their youth, and is staring down the horrifying realization that the universe has planned an eternity of misery in retaliation.

“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

It's hardly a sign of emotional wellness to feel regulated during times of great suffering & injustice. If u feel like you're going a bit mad by it all - good, it means you're human. Looking soley inward won't bring the peace u need. We need to look outward. ... Collective rage is long overdue 👊

I don’t really “get” how you can cheer for the return of measles & polio, a plane crash just about every day, state-sanctioned identity theft, and the deliberate breaking and ransacking of every public institution. But then, I’m not a republican.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

The “dear colleague” letter is a transparent attempt to throw higher education into a state of panic and chaos. But we’re not going to knuckle under. We’re going to stand together and tell this racist, sexist administration to go to hell. #fleeforward

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.
