More and more fascinating is the total misuse of political words. "Socialism" now means everything from mail service and public roads (both done by every government in the history of the world) to Stalin. "Communism" means "anything MAGA doesn't like." "Jihadi" means anyone with any Muslim heritage.

RE: Food bank donations. Cash is by far the best thing you can give. Don't bother buying a bunch of stuff to donate, the food bank can buy much more for less.
HOWEVER If you clean your pantry and find a bunch of unexpired food that you know you won't use, donate them.

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.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Seems like an appropriate time to remind everyone that, in particular, lower enlisted military members are not paid enough, and often live paycheck to paycheck.

They're more likely than civilians to be in single-earner households, and they have to keep working during a shutdown.
Important to note that not everyone who stopped getting paid today can head home. They just have to continue to work with no money for transportation to get there. Or you know. Food.

Archaeology profs are corrupting kids

We're teaching that the pyramids are tombs, the fall of Rome wasn't simple, isotopes reveal ancient diet, and the theoretical debate b/t culture history, processualism, and post-processualism

Oh, and how to make a bibliography

Meet the chocolate chip sea cucumber. It has no true brain. Instead, a complex system of neurons helps it interact with its environment through touch & the ability to feel the presence of light. DYK? There are 1,000+ species of sea cucumbers!

My PhD wasn't about space. It was a usewear and residue study of flaked glass artefacts that had been used for body modification, in the Pitt Rivers Museum. I made a bibliography of flaked glass and posted it to the Lithics-L back in 1998. Here it is if anyone is interested! 🧪 🏺

The Trump-Republican budget would be a disgrace under any circumstance.

At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years — with the richest Americans taking home near-record amounts of both — the bill is shameful.
