the private insurance-healthcare machine was built by private hands to do bad.

SNAP was built by public hands to do good. imperfectly.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

There is a natural inclination, especially among Americans steeped in our culture of mass incarceration, to judge the propriety of a person’s punishment not based on what they’ve done, but on how deserving one believes they are of receiving justice. On its face, any 13-year-old kid that allegedly made threats and was found to be in possession of a knife should be afforded the rights of due process in the juvenile court system. But because this boy was born in another country, because he and his family were asylum-seekers (authorized to work legally in the US) and not American citizens, and regardless of any piece of his personal story or history that led him to this point, some believe he is not owed those same rights. This boy—this child— deserves to rot in a federal facility, they say, and to be dragged across state lines away from his home. And for some, his mere existence in this country is crime enough. But it’s important to bust these myths. It’s crucial to remember, as so many speakers at the Everett City Council meeting reminded us, that all of our safety is intertwined. DHS and its many agencies are trying to turn neighbors against one another. But our neighbors are not our enemies—in fact, they are the ones most likely to protect us.

Shameful and unconscionable. History is going to look back on us and it won't be kind. Nor should it be.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

NEW — Video taken by a witness and shared with me tonight from DC’s Trinidad neighborhood shows FBI and Secret Service agents patrolling by foot and peering into cars with flashlights.

(Per witness, residents made fun of agents, saying they can't get women and that's why they were doing this lol)

Israel has killed approximately 200 journalists in Gaza in just 22 months, which is more than the combined number of journalists killed during WWII and the entirety of the Vietnam War.

“…Ozzy whose work would be with us when, in harder years, we became the guy stealing beer from the unattended bar, and revealing our hearts to whoever happened to be nearby.”

Gaza is starving Palestinians seeking food are being killed by the IDF. It's time for the entire world to say enough.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment.

I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:
