    I hope people understand now that when they say they want government to "be run like a business," this is what it means. Forcibly imposed hierarchy w/ little to no democratic accountability. Top-down decisions made by privileged ghouls that enrich a few and exploit the many.

    America is a place where people are infinitely more suspicious about what the $1 they gave to an unhoused person will be used for than they are about the trillion dollars we give to "defense spending" every year.

    Seems as good a time as any to remind people that loggers, roofers, construction workers, sanitation workers, truckers, miners, agricultural workers, etc. all have statistically more dangerous jobs than cops—and if they refuse to do those jobs they get fired, not more money.

    Bro, what the fuck are US media outlets doing right now I'm losing my goddamn mind.
    Screenshot of LA Times "Column: COVID brain fog is real, and with everything everywhere happening at once, it’s a mercy"
    Screenshot of photo caption on LA Times Column, which reads: "The silver lining of COVID’s brain fog: A chance to detach from a burning world that even a vacation can’t provide"

    I simply can't overstate how much Biden would lose to Trump. You think it's unfair when we bring up all the skeletons in his record? You think we're mean for pointing out that his off-script speeches are batshit nonsense? What the *hell* do you think will happen in the general?

    Weird and bizarrely framed article (that doesn't cite a single worker)...
