@aloogobhilove@Imani_Barbarin An oversimplification: Dentists fought extremely hard to stay out of Medicare. Much of health insurance stuff is tied to what Medicare will reimburse. Voila, dental care stayed out.
As a Jew, I used to say the same “atrocities on both sides” garbage that I hear today. In many ways, I didn’t want to put in the actual work that might contradict that cowardly statement. There aren’t 2 sides to Israeli Apartheid — you just suck at math #FreePalestine
@ItsTheBrandi Are you watching the judges stretch them out in the ring, or just looking at them in their cages?
Judges love stretching cats. And those cages do not do Justice to the length of a Maine Coon of any size.

For those people wishing transphobes would have trans kids just remember the billionaire wasting a fortune to incite people who want to murder his trans kid.
It doesn’t teach them empathy and you’re also wishing someone to suffer abuse to teach a bigot a lesson.
Today, we are launching Documented’s Wage Theft Monitor, a database of every business found to have committed wage theft from 2012 to 2022 in New York State by the state and feds.
Search the 33k cases to uncover wage theft all over New York.

If you share Trump’s mugshot today, please share that the Fulton County Jail it was taken at, is at 3x it’s capacity, infested with bugs, is holding 87% Black people, most of whom haven’t seen a day in court.
Six people have died in custody this year. Fuck cops, fuck jails.
I’m torn between the impulse to assure people that MAGA fascists are a minority in this country and the need to remind people that so were the Nazis in 1932.
Raw numbers don’t matter as much as activism. Get involved in the defense of democracy.
I say “hot behind” and “knife behind” when I’m anywhere near someone in a kitchen and they cannot see me if I’m holding, well, anything hot or knifey. But “corner” and “coming out!” have faded for me after about 20 years.
I would also like to highlight that coming off a tall stool means I better be wearing flat shoes.
I try pretty hard to avoid being on panels and while this isn’t the only reason, it’s definitely on the list.
Stop. Putting. Women. On. Stools. During. Talks. 🛑
Seriously this is one of my biggest pet peeves. I want to sit like a lady and dress like a lady, not all splayed out on a stool. And nobody thinks they are comfortable. #endrant#dobetter
For $35, you can get a one-year online subscription to the Marion County Record and read their in-depth coverage of the police raid on their office #ksleg https://t.co/TQ2J7kSF4e
For each $1 stolen in shoplifting, there's at least $5 in wage theft and $100 in tax evasion. Have you ever heard about a wage theft or tax evasion "crime wave"? What do you think this tells you about how reporters determine what is "news" and what is ignored, and who benefits?
On the "hick-libs." 🧵
Several years ago I was shocked when I heard that a Texas country singer whose music I really enjoyed was a Beto O'Rourke-supporter (Ryan Bingham). For the life of me, I couldn't understand how someone associated with rural West Texas could be on the left.
@DrSamiSchalk @eriseady Oh thank you! I was wondering and just about to ask if there would be a registry! I’ve got a few things on the way for them now!
No, @LittleSleepies email bit, I did not “forget” the things in my cart. They’re crib sheets that aren’t eligible for your bamboo bedding discount. Which I understand, but do not love finding out only when I get to add the code to the cart.
everyone deserves to do their work comfortably! I’ve chipped in, who else will join me? (It’s worth noting that @thotscholar is brilliant, but that shouldn’t be necessary for giving support!)
Texas prisons raise prices 50% for fucking water for the people locked up in their unairconditioned state prisons as the heat wave continues and it hits over 100°.
