But using fascist tools to fight fascism isn't the way. Follow Darryl Davis' lead. That's the way.

Dehumanizing language is a tool of fascism.

All of the young people I know are buying houses or saving for them. Their secret is living on an extremely tight budget (eating food they cooked at home, super cheap travel only, buying 2nd-hand, doing gig jobs for extra$). Kinda like I did, and my parents did.

A good chunk of that pays for the research needed to invent that drug & others. Other countries besides the US don't get that added surcharge. We're pretty much subsidizing drug research for the entire world, which isn't any kind of fair!

Presidents only create jobs directly thru massive spending (& deficit at that), which fuels inflation.

I hate what's happening to the WH as much as anyone here & would tear it down in a heartbeat if I could. But pledges/purity tests are a really bad idea IMO.

This is a highly misleading post! It was apparently not ICE at all, but a well-planned Sheriff's Dept action against organized drug sales & pickpocketing.

Agreed! My only point was that it's too bad China's EVs are mostly powered by coal, making them likely worse for GHG emissions than gas-powered cars over their life-cycle. Until China gets off coal, my argument stands, as far as I can see.

The Gravitational Pull of Supervising Kids All the Time When so many people think hovering is what good parents do, how do you stop?

The decline in childhood independence in America has been gradual, until we are now in stark contrast to other developed nations. Yet for the sake of kids' mental health, we need to find ways to give kids more independence and free play, ideally outside.
