@albanymuskrat @WhatAboutClass The Hyde Amendment passed under Ford. Though certainly it has continued in its denial of health care to women, as you point out, to the present. Carter’s certainly supported the amendment, though so has every president since, with the exception of Biden.

@lalexgreen If there isn't an anecdote about said writer meeting a 'Cossack' who is using the 'World Wide Web' to monetize the current war, it isn't peak Friedman.

Wow… this obituary. (In yesterdays NYT. Yes I read the tiny obituaries. That means I get to see amazing stories like this. It’s like micro-nonfiction.)

@lalexgreen So long as he did not attempt- and I say this is all empathy and no snark- he did not seek a ‘Gouverneur Morris’ cure.

@librariankt Thank you. I have a useful metaphor for illustrating your point this with some people in terms they can understand to be this. https://t.co/nv2hlqfwbR
