one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!
It's striking that progressives like Tim Walz and Zohran Mamdani evoke the middle American attitude that, "Yes, we can fix these social problems because we're Americans and it's the right thing to do!" While the "America first" right only emulates failed and failing nation-states elsewhere.

Democrats and everyone with a platform and a lick of basic decency should snuff this daycare conspiracy theory shit out right quick. If it takes hold it will unleash absolute chaos, because the right breathes stupidity like it’s air.

It isn’t until paragraph number 15 that we get our first mention of the Republican Party.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

Lots of passive voice and a dash of bothsidesism.
“Counties that Trump won in 2024 were more likely to lose ground on kindergarten vaccination rates in recent years than those won by then-Vice President Kamala Harris. But blue cities still saw dips as well.”

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.

“Woke” is just being aware of these structures of power and authority and knowing that they are there to justify the abuse of others.

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.
