Each little crossed line is another decision point for US elites in media, politics, business, & civil society: is this the one where we stand up, make a big deal, say "this far & no further"? Or do we just incorporate it, sanewash it, fold it into our sense of the "new normal" and move on?

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

the only real discrimination period, for these folks, is against hard-right conservative christians, whose religious beliefs give them a kind of super-citizenship that allows them to either discriminate, opt out of common obligations or dictate to others

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.
In 90 years of social security, we have never had a check bounce or be late, but they want you to believe the system is broken.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

What do you think the last meal Matt Huffman missed was? When was the last time Matt Huffman had to go through an entire workday hungry because he couldn't afford to buy himself lunch?
Tens of thousands of schoolchildren are going hungry during the school day in Ohio. But Ohio House Speaker Matt Huffman doesn't care to make sure every child gets fed.
GOP leader rebuffs fully funding school meals statewide in Ohio budget
Although advocates are lobbying Ohio lawmakers to fund free meals for K-12 students in the biennial state budget, one legislative leader has already dismissed the idea.
