I want to hear these people state out loud what their rhetoric implies.
For example, “it is unreasonable to expect your employer to pay you enough to afford a single pastry each week.”
Say it out loud, cowards, instead of making a little word (“yet”) do the heavy lifting for you.

“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Looking to speak to organizers & other experts for Teen Vogue about actions young workers can take when everything, including work, feels pointless/overwhelming. Tips on getting through the day? Is it about plugging into community beyond work? [email protected] or DM

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."
"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."
"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."
that's what you sound like.

A basic point, but the reason you go after flawed actors like Comey is to habituate people to the abuse of prosecutorial authority, so that when more serious figures are targeted the abuse of authority feels routine.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them.

In all the talk about Charlie Kirk, there’s not been nearly enough discussion about murders and suicides of LGBTQIA+ people—especially youth.
Kirk and his allies targeted that community, stoking hate, misunderstanding, and radicalization.
