Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.
I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.
Why don't we report that this is plainly absolute fucking bollocks on stilts though? Why does every Winterval and "baa baa rainbow sheep" story have to be treated as if the freaks have a point of view worth considering?
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.
The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.
Anyone who thinks the #celtics are better without Tatum literally know nothing about basketball. Big difference is increased Kornet and Pritchard minutes plus elimination game. Same as prior years
Republicans' budget scheme is a death sentence for rural hospitals and maternal care. Cutting Medicaid will devastate already-strained healthcare systems, leaving pregnant women and new moms without access to life-saving care. Does that make America great? #DontMessWithMedicaid
I wish more people understood that grants aren’t handouts. They are payments for services the government can’t provide without contracting with nonprofits & universities. We are out here doing the work of keeping people safe and the country functioning. The government needs us. The country needs us.

The post office is not a business! It is a service. What is the “business model” for the police, military, FBI, judicial system…? Govt services don’t “lose” money, they are funded. USPS charges for stamps/shipping to offset costs and this is misused for comparison with for profit businesses
I know a lot of postal workers and all they ever tell me is how understaffed every post office and route is

Bad bosses keep people stuck in dead-end jobs. Good bosses create opportunities for people to grow and advance. Great bosses encourage people to pursue growth and advancement even if it means leaving for another organization.
