I changed my first name a decade ago when I was in college. It took money, time, effort, and emotional energy, but/and I am so so glad I did. It is amazing being called the name that fits me & not being called the one that doesnβt.
Agree. Also, it would take the burden off of employees of needing to guess everyoneβs gender.

Forcing people return to work for less than a living wage by cancelling unemployment benefits is the definition of class warfare.

Thanks to working at a college, I was early-ish to being able to get a #covidvaccine. I feel super grateful. As of today, I have my second shot! instagr.am/p/CMstpINjCRR/

Itβs unfortunate Mr. Bezos wonβt join our hearing. While heβs become $78 billion richer during the pandemic, families are struggling to survive, so why is he spending a whole lot of money to stop workers from organizing a union at an Amazon warehouse in Alabama?

It is just a bit less dystopian than the "Brave girl sells cookies so that mom can get brain surgery" headline. The difference here is that Biden has a responsibility, but in both cases it tries to frame something horrific in a feel-good tone to normalize what is horrific.

Smearing Tara into silence wonβt prove anything. Red flags arenβt enough to say βcase closedβ w/o investigation, Which Tara never got, she got a lot of pro-Biden media jabbing at her to defend their potential prez, even after having written about his creepy behavior in the past
Itβs so common for survivors to be inconsistent in their accounts that this training manual on false allegations states that inconsistency is not enough to determine that an assault did not happen.

It turns out that the economic model aggregated from man's most selfish impulses does not result in a society capable of handling crises navigable only through communal organization.
βDemocratic politicians now laud themselves as populists not for locking up white collar criminals or cracking down on corporate malfeasance but for trying to excise the spawn of billionaires from proposals like free college.β
This quoted post is unavailable.
βIn the process, the public has learned to see their agenda as a byzantine maze of complexity, paperwork and bureaucracy β a development that has weakened the political consensus behind the party, in part because nobody knows for sure whether they will qualify for its programs.β
βDemocrats have helped create what journalist @ddayen once called a painful tax on Americansβ free time, one requiring us to devote inordinate amounts of our lives trying to access basic necessities, comply with reporting requirements and prove eligibility for benefits.β

Why are we talking about lowering stimulus checks for the middle class and poor, but not increasing the tax rate for billionaires?
