2/9. The amount is shocking because we’re thinking through the lens of normal amounts of money. But we have to remember: these people are not normal. Their wealth is on an entirely different scale. This tool is helpful for visualizing it: mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Exceptions for the “health of the mother” only work in theory.

They exist to make people feel better about denying women life saving healthcare and autonomy.

Her son will grow up without a mom.

Two lives were lost.

Shame on Texas and shame on all who support this.

August 2002, Bio 101 for pre-med majors. Male professor told us to look left, look right. Only one of the three of us would graduate pre-med. Then he smirked "and if one of you three is a woman, I doubt it'll be you." That's how I started my freshman year.
In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

I do fit this statistic, but my YouTube use is exclusively sleep meditation tracks from this dude in Australia and finding new Jewish music. I'm not sure "use" tells us much if anything about what people are seeing.
YouTube's reach in the US is astounding. It's used by:

62% of kids under 2 (as reported by parents)
84% of kids 2-4 (as reported by parents)
89% of kids 5-12 (as reported by parents)
90% of teens 13-17
95% of adults 18-29
92% of adults 30-49
85% of adults 50-64
64% of adults 65+

This is deeply, unforgivably cruel.

I really want to make a thread of just articles about Trump displaying symptoms of dementia. I'm not a clinician so this isn't a dx, but I talk with folks with dementia every day and these patterns feel very familiar to me.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

Transportation should be free and universal basic income is the only moral way to have a society.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.
Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

This sounds like a conversation I had today with someone in a memory care unit. Dead serious.
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

Don't cross the picket line ever, y'all.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

I'm glad people are taking the Epstein shitshow seriously but please also remember this when it's someone you know or thought you did. Remember not just them, but the sea of enablers.
