This & @tanehisicoates "The First White President" are the only honest & accurate 2016 explanations. Required reading to change our future. https://t.co/k6RwWLijue
The policy person at my school board meeting, while they were discussing revising the district library policy, just tried to argue that "If you have books discussing the Holocaust, you also need to have books denying the Holocaust."
NO YOU DO NOT.
Harm reductionists were kind to me when no one else was, least of whom myself. There was no prodding or coercion, only compassion.
The world is cruel enough, believe me. Addiction is cruel enough, I assure you. 8/
I was 9 years old when my dad was found to have committed fraud & was sent to prison for a few years. Alone in bed one night, my father away, I was playing with a crystal set radio and came across the vicious antisemitic voice of Father Coughlin railing against American Jews. 1/3
President Biden just gave the line of the year: “Imagine an America where Republicans cared as much about lowering costs for American families as they do robbing women of their constitutional rights.”
Make no mistake about it — the only way to preserve reproductive rights is to vote Democrat. There’s no other alternative regardless of whatever mealy mouthed backtracking Republicans try to do.
We are not responsible for Climate change the way the USA, China, Russia and Europe is. Pakistan may look like a distant reality right now, but what is happening on our soil is the future of the rest of the world if we don’t stop burning fossil fuels. Wake up.
I don’t think many expected Biden to be a historic president. Following Trump, a well liked President would have been one who just showed basic human decency. But the Biden administration is shaping up to be one of the most consequential of this generation— if not all time.
MAGA Boomer: At your age I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work
Millennials: At your age college was 3% of median salary—Now its 20%. A median home was $17K—Now its $363K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—now its 37%. You worked hard—& then closed the door behind you.
I feel like the media is having a hard time metabolizing the fact that this congress has been historically productive. And acknowledging the size of these accomplishments, and the degree of difficultly, - it’s just hard to do accurately without sounding a bit left leaning.
"Fertilized eggs are only people if they are inside a woman. Shift their location by a few inches and .. suddenly they are not subject to the same protections as an egg in a uterus. ... That doesn’t really make sense—unless the whole point is to control women." @JillFilipovic omg
I’m so tired of this line. I’m also consistently baffled as to why these people aren’t calling for the cancellation of healthcare debt?! Debt accrued due to pure greed and borne from necessity. *That* would actually help all Americans.
