I hate that the word "Progressive" is associated with weirdos on Twitter that hate white people. That's not what it means. Progressive means paid family leave and giving workers a living wage. It means lowering crime with criminal justice reform. Progressive means fighting for a better world. #USPOL

The Internet is so good for stuff like mutual aid and keep people informed amid crisis. Like, when I feel despair--and these days I often do--it's a small encouragement to be reminded that when we are proximal to suffering, we are capable of extraordinary generosity.

We should do this, but only on bluesky. I'll start: Maternal mortality in Sierra Leone has fallen by over 60% since 2017 thanks to investments from the Sierra Leonean Ministry of Health and their partners.

This is a fascinating article, and a reminder that TB is caused by impoverishment as much as it's caused by bacteria.
A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.
Tuberculosis rates plunge when families living in poverty get a monthly cash payout

Lie of the day: injustice is just a fact of life.
It's easy to pretend that injustice must exist in order for the system to function.
The truth is that justice ebbs and flows. Slavery was once a fact of life - now it's not. Everything can change, and you have a duty to be part of it. #USPOL #LVT

To be fair.... The Republic truly was corrupt and basically teetering on the edge of anarchy well before Palpatine came to power. Obviously the Sith caused a lot of that, but mostly they just took advantage of an already dying system. Hm...sounds familiar...

Me watching a film.
1. Start watching.
2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.
3. Google actor.
4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.
5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.
6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.

It’s December 1st and we should all pay homage to Rosa Parks today. On this day in 1955 she decided not to give her seat up on a bus in Alabama, and well the rest is history. We are all going to need to channel our Rosa Park’s for the next four years! Thank you Rosa for showing us how to #Resist

This is the conundrum of treating homes as investment: housing needs to be both plentiful (hence cheap) for those seeking to buy in, and increasing in value (i.e. scarce) for existing owners. Those who bit the bullet and bought at the top of the market will be the worst hit by a sudden supply glut.

How about instead of deregulating everything, we end Citizen’s United and large campaign donations that are used to buy special favors?
Let’s ban lobbying when it’s attached to donations.
Seems like ending government corruption is a better way to unstack the deck at the top.

The world has already eradicated smallpox. Polio is the next disease we could eradicate.
Here's how we got to where we are now, mostly thanks to the polio vaccine.
