Why Big Gov

[CNN Breaking News @cnnbrk]

Pfizer and BioNTech say they will apply today for emergency authorization of their Covid-19 vaccine, and that it could see limited use next month https://t.co/23YMQEtoo0

@adam_billen it’s interesting reading this book and seeing policies that joe and kamala endorsed back then being used as examples of racism. and now they’re the president and vp

comparing hip hop culture to minstrel shows is definitely a unique take.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

it’s hard to have criminal justice that tries to be preventative when criminals are treated sub-human.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

shows like SVU normalize “justified” violence while ignoring the fact that normalizing police violence is not ok

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

it seems to me that denying felons the right to vote and voter id laws are just a modern version of the laws described here.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

this idea of criminality being the new slavery is interesting but i never thought about it as a product of color blindness.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

it’s interesting to hear about how regulation can hurt employees and not the people at the top who need to be regulated.

the neglect and abuse at Kane reminds me a lot of the camps at the southern border.

about more than the drugs.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

it’s interesting and sad to see the effects of poverty on the city of Dayton. i’ve only heard of this city because of the opioid epidemic, and it’s sad that people turned to hard drugs to escape their reality. people think of drug users as bad people when their situation is...

@annabel_smoot it’s funny how high school history education taught us that conservatives want limited government but they constantly support policies that interfere with personal freedom.

story of the week

[AJ+ @ajplus]

The UK Labour Party suspended ex-leader Jeremy Corbyn over his failings on anti-Semitism: "We have failed Jewish people."

A watchdog report says while he was leader the party ignored or downplayed anti-Semitism complaints by Jewish members. He rejected some of the findings.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

while the show has many faults, my main complaint was how it felt like a corporate cash grab, as opposed to a genuine retelling of the story. instead of keeping it as a mini series, they choose to expand on the story, causing its messaging to come across very disingenuous.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

this sounds like the lieutenant is charging based on his own definition of life, and it’s crazy that this case went through.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

@mr2229a it’s funny how conservatives think it’s “pro-life” to lock women in prison for having a miscarriage.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

@mr2229a it’s funny how during the Great Depression, the economy was met with bold and progressive policy. With our current recession, giving people a stimulus check is controversial.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

this reminds me of the constant trump signs, flags, and cardboard cutouts people have of trump. when we idolize politicians/policy, they’re sure to disappoint us.

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

the NRA promo was very interesting because they frame getting a job as a duty to a government, as opposed to a personal duty. they understand that taxes/work help everyone and not just ourselves. i wish more people had this mindset...

[Aaron Koschoff-Rapkin @RapkinAaron]

@Faith43017711 it’s ironic how blm protests got over policed but when people protest against face masks , the police magically aren’t there. it makes you question the true motives behind policing and who they’re trying to suppress.
