My experience with Kaiser therapists has been traumatizing, as the medical model that insurance forces on the clinical MO of therapists is essentially a capitalist approach making sure patients get the least care possible by constraining therapists to what can be coded for billing.

Some denounce the moral depravity of these comments, but you aren’t politically astute. There are many in the democrats’ political base who care about deportations even if they don’t face them, but then people who rightly fear the state machinery for rounding up one group being used against others.

“Patience & Fortitude” by Scott Sherman is a great book length treatment of NYPL and its bad real estate politics. We need to be careful not to over idealize libraries, not because they aren’t pointing to a better future, but because the influences of neoliberalism threatens their ability to do so.

They provide free concrete goods and services far beyond knowledge and immaterial culture. They embody an alternative to our business-dominated, pay to play society. kboo.fm/media/120831...

We’re fostering my 3 year old niece, and the ONLY way we’re able to is because she’s in a preschool for free 5 days a week. It’s funded by taxing the richest 5% in the county.
