URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

"we're going to turn people against federal employees" you mean like their mailman? You think they're going to hate the mailman and not the person threatening the mailman?

Intersectionality isn't a ladder, it's a messy pile of cards. So much overlapping and so dependant on how the deck is tossed. It's a frame work for us to understand our proximity to privilege. We all have privilege in various situations. It doesn't stay stagnant in one locked position.
