I often come back to a quote from the late great Michael Brooks: “Be ruthless with systems, be kind to people."
A reminder of where power lies, where most criticism should be directed, and the importance of building solidarity with others.

I lost my job and had to give up my health insurance when the premiums exceeded $40,000. But at least I know some of those uppity student loan borrowers will have their wages garnished starting next month.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Everything from the Trump administration has been tied to a mythical culture war.
This strategy only works for a certain amount of time because at some point people realize they still can’t pay rent, afford healthcare, buy more groceries or improve their overall quality of life.
