I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

Allowing companies that can only exist because they pay workers slave wages while getting subsidies from the US government isn't always realistic, either, Donna. Perhaps there will be a reckoning along those lines in the near future.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

It's just kinda distressing how often things are declared wars in order to justify shooting you, but if you shoot back that's still a crime.

One thing I have no patience for is "there is nothing to be thankful for" doomerism. If Americans were finding things to be thankful for in 1863, two and a half years into a bloody Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln formalized the Thanksgiving holiday, then I can find things to be thankful for too.

It might sound counterintuitive but trying to take Farage, Trump, Le Pen down based on individual flaws without centring the damage their politics do is counterproductive
It opens the way for less extreme actors espousing the same politics while these have become normalised by mainstream actors

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

"[AOC] would not make a symbolic run, according to a person who has spoken to her, and she does not believe she needs to be the progressive standard-bearer in the race provided another person steps up to fill that role. 'If she runs, she wants to win'" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
AOC built her own political machine. Now she’s deciding her next move.
Seven years after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt onto the national stage as an outsider, she’s learned an inside game and is considering a run for Senate or president.
