The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

We wrote this because we needed to build a foundation for a broader analysis we’re conducting. Notably, while men have occasionally faced consequences for abusing their positions, girlbosses seem to be the most egregious and protected perpetrators.

When I was growing up my elders used to call this “cooperation” and warned us to be vigilant to prevent it from happening to “our movement.” We shouldn’t let self-absorption and individual ambition trick us into becoming accomplishes in the cooperation of your (or other folk’s) movement.

Practicing peace is hard. It means practicing justice and it means not indulging an understandable desire for revenge. This is hard. But practicing peace is practicing survival for our species and our ecosystems.

He responded to my post. What feels most strange is that he seems to believe I (and so many others) have access to something we don't. That I (and so many others) are going to lose something we already lost or never had. I shouldn't have QT'd him, but I was surprised by his obliviousness.

The issue with Neoliberalism isn't that it doesn't work, it's that it only works once. You can sell the family silver once, you can strip the copper out of the walls once, you can burn the furniture to keep warm once. But then you have to come up with something else!

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

Given the cost of living, I don't really think a $25k grant makes a dent in what most city employees need to buy a home. This program only benefits the three people who could afford to buy anyway.
