Don't donate to the Salvation Army this year, or any year, and make sure to let people know why they shouldn't donate.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

If you get health care through your employer, your premiums are going up by an average of 26% no matter what.
Why? Because insurers had to set rates under the assumption Congress won't extend the ACA tax credits, destabilizing the whole market.
All thanks to Republican inaction.

Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.

They don’t realize that if we went to the hospital for every flare, we would live there
They don’t realize how dangerous hospital settings can be

Classrooms have just come around to regarding graphic novels as important tools in the development of students’ relationship to literature and developing a habit of reading thanks to a lot of wonderful teachers and librarians, and this undermines all of that work. It’s so fucking stupid.

Seeing a leader of the United States adopt this line is revolting. While the US remains imperfect, it is also the global leader in FDI as well as the world’s leading destination for inbound investment. China would love to have an economy like America’s.

The most important political fault line of our time is over whether children are people or property.
This whole so-called “parents rights” movement the right has taken up and the left is supposed to kowtow to for votes is so obviously anti-child it really bothers me to see it presented as anything other than justification for abusive “parenting” and disregard for actual science on child development
