It's just as simple as that. Even now, calling it "Universal Healthcare" or "Medicare for All" means that Black and Brown people would also get it, and they can't have THAT, even if they want it themselves.

“A lot of times people ask, Why don't we have free healthcare? Why is this like this?' And I'm like, somebody just didn't want Black people to have access to those services. And in trying to make things harder for Black folks, you also were collateral damage.” —

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

The collapse of the trad wife and blue collar wife who works from home model should be interesting for republicans. This isn’t Avon money anymore. A lot of of the female economy has kept middle class households afloat. But we will see 🤷🏾♀️

Preferring nonfiction, I rarely read fiction - let alone historical fiction. But...I really, really enjoyed Last Night at the Telegraph Club, a historical novel geared toward young adult readers. Set in 1950s San Francisco, it centers a Chinese American teenage girl discovering her queerness.

Absolutely. Also we did something called “Mousercise” (the Disney kid-friendly Jazzercise) in elementary school. I joined band as soon as I could so I didn’t have to go to P.E., which was unhelpful anyway.

And I know the right answer is status. You’re buying them to improve your status when people who will come to your house. What I’m confused about is if you don’t read them the people who come into your house don’t read either. who are you impressing?

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

This seems like kind of a big story and it's frustrating that we're still getting "it's time for liberals to consider the lab leak" think pieces. The two best pieces of "evidence" come directly from the Trump Administration and have completely fallen apart under scrutiny!

Yeah this is an old fem tech argument. It was recently misapplied in a piece about AI and emotions. We don’t think of tech as human to humanize the tech. We are supposed to think about tech as humanoid, with possible rights or ethical needs, BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL TREAT HUMANS (WOMEN/FEMMES) LIKE TECH
