escapism and politics. they/them.

@ThisIsBenSilver Places where the conservative argument had pieces that were correct but were still wrong overall maybe--like arguments against feminism that said it would harm women because they would do all the work at home AND have jobs. They were fucked up but not wrong about that piece.

conservatives a month ago: “why should we listen to the government and stay home? you are all sheep, this is a free country!”

conservatives today: “if you just follow the government mandated curfew, the paramilitary police stormtroopers won’t shoot you in the face, it’s simple”

@kaichouqt @ben_rosen @evangelifrog School boards are not teachers. Teachers buy tissues, snacks, hand sanitizer, whiteboard pens, paper, staplers, and all other office supplies and yes, art supplies, for our classrooms & students. Often our desk chairs aren’t even provided by the school. “No offense but” fuck off

Part of the point of Fury Road is that they go off into the desert to chase utopia only to find it doesn't exist and have to go back and build a better society out of the one they already have.

@sadguid @Citizenroxanne @BernForBernie20 @DavidAstinWalsh This is ridiculous. She backed up her policies with detailed plans, whereas Bernie is asked time and again for specifics and often refuses to answer. Pretending that the only reason someone would prefer Warren is identity politics is, as has already been said, a sexist take.

Just a by the by: "private" messages sent to individual people during a Zoom meeting show up in the end-of-meeting transcript along with all other public messages.

Tell your friends, save a life.

America remember. On this day when 240,000 are projected to die from this virus, as hospitals are at their breaking point, this President is fighting in court to take away healthcare insurance coverage from millions of Americans and destroy the ACA, Obamacare.

@MechanteAnemone Comcast and Spectrum are doing some free/reduced price service for families whose kids qualify for free and reduced lunch. It’s not enough, but it’s something to get people through this.

Y’all people need sun and fresh air to be healthy. Stop shaming people for taking walks/runs.

Heads up for folks in the USA;

If you're not having a food emergency, please don't go to the grocery store on April 1st and 2nd. Wait until the 3rd. People who are on food stamps get their accounts recharged on the first of the month, and have likely been running on fumes.

5 years ago I cut my CEO pay from $1.1M to $70k so I could pay all my employees at least $70k.

That's not good enough anymore.

Today I cut my pay to $0. I'm committed to laying off 0 of our employees.

It's not much but it's what I can do. We'll get through this together.

Trump’s Department of State sending our national stockpile of PPE to China in February is one thing. But not directing companies to replenish that stockpile and then falsely accusing President Obama for leaving him with nothing is lying negligence almost to the point of treason.
