Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I see no reason that @colbertlateshow.bsky.social shouldn't work with Sharyn Alfonsi from 60 Minutes and air her unredacted and unedited story on the El Salvadorian prison, on The Late Show one night.
Bari Weiss has no say over Colbert, and Colbert isn't being renewed anyway.
Stephen, do it!

Nothing more American than "medical setbacks" forcing a school counselor and her children into: eviction, ruined credit, homelessness, and paying nearly $3,000/month for a cramped extended-stay hotel room.

I highly recommend the book Vaccine Nation by historian Elena Conis. She has a chapter on exactly how & why people used to think measles was a harmless childhood illness and how the development of a vaccine allowed researchers to better understand how serious of a disease it is (control groups, etc)
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.
