I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
We have known this for decades - it’s much cheaper to house the homeless than to have them living on the streets. Conservatives claim to be about fiscal responsibility - but they’re just caught up in hard right cultural nonsense
I get that people are leery and see this as a zero sum game. But, what other game do you play with people that want to build concentration camps, eliminate democracy at home, and used masked state police to keep the population at suppressed?
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.
War on water.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
I haven't cried since I visited the Renee Good memorial in Minneapolis. This piece made me sob. How are we letting this happen? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.

Anderson Cooper: “So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them?”
Answer: “Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing.” #HousingFirst #UrbanTruth

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
The post did? Wow I'm surprised. Glad they did and I will give credit when credit is due.
Google is eating its seed corn
Notice he says Putin and then can't even be bothered to say Zelenskyy. Russia is helping Iran target US troops and Trump still prefers Putin. He is a traitor.
The list is so long.
Yes but it's not just that the Post broke the story, but what did they do with it? A big part of US media's problem is that they have great journalists with editors and owners that relegate important stuff to page 11.

this contrarian pick-me bullshit needs to be addressed.
I was hazed by what most would deem a “pretend” frat: no house, Ivy League campus, nerdy kids. They didn’t hit me, which I suppose is good. But that restraint allowed them to give themselves permission to do anything else up to that line.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

He just wants to be the Putin of America.
Age we would be in an even worse place.
Well I was referencing that statistically if your parents live a long life you have better odds of doing the same. That's not quite the same thing as giving an example of one family's experience.
But absolutely. I think of this whole disaster, we are very lucky how old he is. If he was Vance's
