Poverty and disability often go together.
It’s difficult to “try harder” your way out of financial problems when you lose your health.
The pull yourselves up by your bootstrap mentality goes out the window if you’re bedbound.
It can happen to anyone at any time.
They aren’t moral failings.

It is not normal to be best friends with a pedophile for decades unless you are getting something out of that relationship.
And one thing everyone knows about Donald Trump is that he is transactional.

“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

At this point I do sincerely believe this anti phone and social media drive is rooted in the "social contagion" idea of being trans. They do not think she died because she used her phone, they think she died because people in her phone convinced her she was a girl.
Phones did not murder Brianna Ghey in cold blood.

Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.

Capitalism says productivity is the most important metric in determining value
That you must “earn” everything, even food, housing and healthcare.
How do you earn it? By working until you die.
It teaches people to see children, the elderly & disabled as expendable.

'Three-quarters of people support a wealth tax – yet none of the establishment parties will touch it. So parts of the media close ranks when the vast wealth of their owners and the policies of their friends in Westminster come under threat.'
Every personal attack.
Every attempt to distract or to divide.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

The amount of folks I see using “fake Christian” when they mean “awful person who is part of my own religion but that is too uncomfortable to acknowledge”…
And yet they just say “Jew” or “Muslim” when talking about Jewish or Muslim folks who are also awful people 🤷🏻♀️
Gosh why could that be?

a lot of people on the right are going to be pretending to be concerned about guns and political violence today. as it happens, this was just published today about how the present administration is handling gun violence in DC during a hostile occupation it claims it is doing for "safety" reasons
D.C. banned high-capacity magazines capable of feeding guns dozens of bullets at a time. The Trump Administration will no longer charge people for carrying them, calling the ban "unconstitutional." 51st.news/high-capacit...
High-capacity gun magazines are illegal in D.C. Trump no longer wants to prosecute violators.
City officials say high-capacity magazines can be particularly deadly.
