The Paperwork Will Kill You How America Abandons Its Most Vulnerable

Across the country, women’s domestic violence centers are closing their doors,not because the need has gone away, but because the funding has.
When a center closes,It’s a crisis hotline that stops ringing. A child who loses a trauma counselor. A woman who now has nowhere to turn.

Affordability is clearly not on the Republicans’ agenda to fix…

Re-upping 🧵 below because the only way it’s going to change is if the R base gets cranky. So share the articles with your MAGA family members/friends over a holiday meal—that you likely spent a fortune on.

My first time reading Tom Joad.

He beautifully writes this piece about democracy that all must read and truly hear.

Thank you for speaking out for everyone. @theoriginaltomjoad.bsky.social

“But it matters. Because without these limits, without these shields, without these non-negotiable protections, democracy is just another word for the strong taking from the weak.”

Sounds like an American version of Canada's Charlie Angus.

Principled, courageous, articulate. We need more of them.

Madisonian Model = Majority rule, minority rights. Most Americans fail to understand this principle even while wrapping themselves in flag & opining on what Framers intended. Natural rights are foundational; all people are entitled to them & no legit gvt can deny them. No matter what, no matter who.

Writing like this survives only when enough people decide it should. If these pieces give you clarity in the static, consider becoming a paid subscriber. It keeps the work independent, the words coming, and helps more people discover it.
