It’s impossible to separate my intellectual/political self from my porn identity, so I created another account that will be dedicated solely to NSFW content. Follow @zackrandallxxx if that’s all you want to see ;-)
I’m reading a fascinating and important book by @brianklaas, CORRUPTIBLE: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us.
First of all, Brian is not only a renowned and storied political science historian, he is an international expert on democracy and authoritarianism.
Employers like to act as if having a job or not is all that matters. But US workers now care more about what they do, how, and how well they are treated. That's why so many quit, unionize, strike, and increasingly vote socialist. Long overdue!
It's baffling to me that school meals aren't free. Kids raising money to pay off "lunch debt"! How could you possibly think that is OK?
Every child should receive free healthy meals from their school. I will gladly pay my taxes to make that happen. There is no better investment.
Where are Christians being denied access to bathrooms, having their health care ripped away, or being told their marriage is up for public debate — simply because they’re Christian?
Being told you can’t force your belief system on everyone else is not oppression.
All those saying the “vote, vote, vote” message is old and tired undermine the power of the ballot box. Elections are fulcrums that pivot the course of history. There's abundant evidence of this simple fact. Is voting enough? No. Is it a potent tool for change? Absolutely.
