Maybe it’s because on top of the rising cost of groceries, housing, energy, and childcare, Donald Trump is also making healthcare significantly more expensive for millions of Americans.

gonna say something that probably only a handful of you will interact with but the root of a lot of anti asian racism--apart from the piece where some people just want us dead--is that at the core a lot of non-asian people who encounter the term don't actually believe anti asian racism exists.

How much antiblackness are we supposed to deal with on a regular basis before nonBlack people will agree that the racism was beyond the pale.
What’s it gonna take. I want facts and figures. How many slurs per day should we have to suffer before it’s ok not to feel sorry for some dumb white broad.

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy

Just a thin layer of ice on roadways is enough to make driving hazardous⚠️
Bridges and overpasses are especially prone to ice formation that is difficult to see, as winds beneath the structures accelerate cooling and maintain lower surface temperatures.
Remember -- Ice or snow take it slow!

almost no one looks squarely at #adoption as a central issue of children’s rights. Even people who see themselves as espousing the most radical left liberationist stance toward the rights of children to affirm their voices & identities typically ignore how adoption denies this right to children.
