I think the first two years of college should be free, student loans should be at 0% interest and available to anyone who needs one, we should take care of our veterans, we should have free public transportation, the post office is not a business and should not be run like one, healthcare is a right

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primaried. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

"The Other Side Of The #COIN: Counterinsurgency And Community Policing by Kristian Williams
"This essay outlines the current counterinsurgency model, with an emphasis on its domestic application in the United States. It shows that many contemporary counterinsurgency practices were developed by police agencies inside the U.S., and illustrates the transfer of theory, strategy, and technique from domestic police to the military- and back."

And now we are getting close to having the world‘s first trillionaire. That’s just nuts. Good for you, you won capitalism, and we all forgotten what an 80% marginal tax rate looks like? We had one under a republican president and the world did not end

An avoidance strategy I've noticed more lately is people losing sight of what is in their control & only focusing on atrocities that arent in their control (or, only very minimally so).
The atrocities matter.
Combating learned helplessness also matters.
Do what you can, where you can, within reason.
"What are you crying for? You're tall, I like that; you have long hands which all but obey your will; why aren't you happy about it? Always wear dark cuffs, that's my advice. -No-I flatter you and yet you cry? I think you cope quite sensibly with the difficulty of living."

Get ICE the fuck out of Los Angeles. Them, alongside the National Guard, coming here to disrupt our city to cause bedlam and chaos in an attempt to rip people from their homes and lives is a disgrace

A new class of materials that passively harvests #water from the air.
Because science.
From a project funded by the US National Science Foundation.
@carnage4life I'm afraid I dream about them, too. :) Often in the context of there being something wrong, or I have to type a long number to call someone and I can't get through the whole thing without an error, or what shows up on the display was different that what I typed... But yeah they are there.

Trump's birthday parade next week is genuinely a very good opportunity to point at the artillery rolling down PA Avenue and say "that's why health care expenses are the leading cause of bankruptcy"

Thing about donating Bibles to a homeless shelter is - we already have them. Shelters get Bibles all the time. Once in a while, somebody picks one up. If you want to donate something that will help, check the shelter website. They might have a list of stuff they need. Socks and hygiene items are always useful.
If you *really* want to help the homeless, destroy capitalism.
Even an empty cup is right twice a day.
