Columbia and Northwestern are the academic homes to the most prestigious journalism schools in the country and they are the two universities that caved to the Trump administration’s extortion demands that are directly connected to the First Amendment. Just gonna sit with that for a while.

The return of extremely skeletal bodies for women as a norm is deeply concerning.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

Strikingly, it’s in the nation’s richest, fastest-growing cities—places like Atlanta—where the crisis is most acute.
Poor and working-class tenants aren’t “falling” into homelessness. They’re being pushed.
The families I follow in the book are casualties not of a failing economy but a booming one.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

I’m weary of the ‘closing schools during pandemic hurt kids’ garbage. The true hurt is that 1. money was not invested in helping to mitigate the harms 2. Nobody listened to teachers telling us what the actual harms were.

Hitler started with deportations and then quickly realized they were too expensive and moved to gas chambers.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

The correct argument for transition is also the correct argument for abortion - Bodily autonomy is THE right that must be protected at all times, even when it requires the services of healthcare professionals, and protecting bodily autonomy does not require a diagnosis of an illness.
