The problem with the Teamsters trying to play politics in a new way to embrace their Republican members is that you end up endorsing Christian Nationalists when your biggest legislative priority in America is stopping automated trucks in California, and Gavin Newsom is the Governor here.

When the American system’s deep white supremacist rot has gnawed at its core to cause its collapse, you simply abandon it. Walk away. Get free of it. Build our new next world among the ruins of it.

No joke here (sorry): Homelessness in Finland is very low because they provide small apartments and mental health support without any conditions attached to it. 80% of those who use it get jobs , gain stable housing, and sobriety But thanks for the plastic trash can in NYC, Mayor Adams

Western 'civilization' in North America for white people necessitated large families because so many children didn't survive to adulthood." And they WERE immigrants.

You can also freeze/store water & pass/leave it out to your neighbors from your own yard/alley/boulevard. Highly encourage it, especially if you're in a spot where folks tend to pass by regularly, or if you've noticed tents nearby.

Hurricane forecasts have clearly improved over the last few decades. But deaths and damages lately aren't declining -- yet another sign that knowing what's coming doesn't mean we're prepared for it.

"Rather than having well-reasoned regulations that apply uniformly across the US, courts are already invalidating or upholding regulations in a piecemeal way based on the whims of judges who are in no way qualified to interpret complex regulatory issues."

I racked up tons of credit card debt from being hospitalized twice, and they're still sending me bills. For involuntary hospitalization. Something I literally never asked for and had no say in. They're charging me for that. Still. To this day.

Some of the people like this are in universities, writing bitter notes on notices of a job talk by a female South Asian candidate, e.g. "White men need not apply." I was on the hiring committee, and they did apply. They weren't as good as she was for that position so they didn't make the shortlist.

There is a lot of news to keep up with these days and, at times, the noise can be overwhelming. That's where The Big Picture comes in. Their deep dives into current events and thoughtful analysis help me understand the world better. And I'm confident The Big Picture can do the same for you.

Yeah--even when we try to "make it right," it's still an artificial version of the real thing. I don't think we should STOP, but I think we need to acknowledge our roles in all of this.

And the feeling of living under the past eight years of extremely terrible government have been very like watching a beloved relative suffer with painful debilitating fistulae. Faeces leaking into our actual oceans and rivers just drove the metaphor home.

Conservatives can’t imagine that a non-straight-white-male is hired on merit but will cheer that right-wing SCOTUS justices limit their clerk pool to those who share their 19th-century ideology. It’s no surprise they end up with silly mistakes and opinions out of step with 21st-century politics.

I once wrote a fact check of a Morgan Spurlock book. He included what he said was a direct quote from the FDA that aspartame causes cancer. I checked the footnote. An FDA newsletter did publish that claim — but *only to specifically refute it*. That’s basically how Barrett quotes Madison here.
