Cars in the libertarian fantasy: haha, no commie government is going to make me ride the bus like a poor

Cars in reality: excuse me sir, your taillight flickered for a moment I'll need you to provide multiple pieces of sensitive personal documentation or go to jail

"class war instead of culture war"

i wish people would stop acting like being against bigotry is some kind of distraction

people can and should have both social consciousness and class consciousness

all this shit is connected anyway

BREAKING: Autonomous anti-genocide activists bring the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to a grinding halt after blockading the McDonald’s float for a second year in a row.

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies.

The average Wall Street employee got a $176,500 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.
Teachers in the U.S. will spend an estimated $3.35 billion of their own money on classroom supplies in the 2024-25 school year.

The average teacher will spend $883.60.

I’ve seen folks on blocklists with no business being on any such list—smart, dedicated, funny, engaging, illuminating feeds that for whatever reason ran afoul of an anonymous jerk who turned to building blocklists to feel powerful. That does upset me. Be wary of placing so much trust in a stranger.

Thanks to its comprehensive urban & commuter rail system, Chicago has the 2nd largest number of car-free households of any metro area (behind only NYC)

Most of those households live around the L, especially the Red Line and western parts of the Blue & Green Lines.
