Thanks to @ftravelersblog for letting me write a bit about rejecting any Green New Deal that requires or reinforces neocolonial and extractive structures

[Fellow Travelers @ftravelersblog]

What is the state, after all, but an insurance fund for the capitalist class?

[Madeleine Baker @madeleineebaker]

Honestly one of the most cowardly and dishonest euphemisms I've ever seen, I can't believe places like the NYT are still doing this

In Twitter’s waning hours, a phenomenal piece by @kchiucarello to see us off

Eli Lilly stock isn't just tanking because of a satirical Tweet on Musk's hellscape, it's tanking because millions of people are asking why we have to pay for insulin, when it was made to be free.

That's why other insulin stocks are falling too.

Happy Disability Awareness Month

can't stand waking up in a country where my tax obligations involve paying for benefits I do not personally receive. hope these new IRS agents ask me for an amount that perfectly represents my proportional use of roads, libraries, Predator drones, and Blackwater contractors

A key problem with this argument—and an issue I have within my own research on women in military UN peace operations—is that a push to increase numbers of women is fundamentally a push to expand these corrupt and violent institutions…

when I say that I'm stressed about the securitization of the climate crisis, this is what I mean

[Alexander C. Kaufman @AlexCKaufman]

Police departments are increasingly citing climate disasters in requests to the Pentagon for hand-me-down gear and armored vehicles, per to a FOIA @HuffPost obtained.

Those war-time machines then end up used for other purposes.
