  I mean we should all be able to leave our desk to go pick up a prescription for ourselves or a family member. That’s the problem, not that parents are the only ones with the privilege.

  The discrimination in regards to parents is real. In an interview I was asked if I would be able to keep up with a demanding schedule because I have kids. In my experience, women with children get the opposite end of that consideration than with men. This is messed up any way you slice it.

  I wonder if this guy is disliked by Americans as much they dislike that UHC CEO, or is it more?

  Isn’t that just what we say when we imprison people?

  First all, glad your friend recognized this.

  I found this article to be a prescient good grounding: wagingnonviolence.org/…/10-things-to-do-if-trump-…

  I’m finding local communities to participate in (potlucks, picnics, movie night, anything that doesn’t spend more money). Sending holiday cards to my neighbors, anything to connect and integrate because what comes next will test all our bonds.

  They’re onto killing a bigger fish: The National Labor Review Board.

  They don’t have a problem with what is being done, just who are the ones doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I want his story to be told then have a jury nullify the case. But I don’t see how any of that will happen.

  Seems like they will be pushing for more work requirements, less funding, and fewer legal protections (ie pre-existing conditions)

  Idk, white folks voting for Trump is an issue if you ask me, a white guy. Too many white folks sane washing his shit. Morning Joe went from “he’s a fascist” to “let’s put out differences aside”. Other whities need to realize this is a grift that will likely kill your own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should I feel sorry for you and answer your question?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do the ultra-rich consume popular media?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn’t get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don’t understand camp, and so they don’t get that it’s a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can keep telling ourselves Mark Cuban’s “opportunity economy” was good enough but objectively it was a flop with working class voters. Either it was a messaging failure or it wasn’t populist enough, Bernie is saying it is the latter. If it was a messaging failure, then we’re likely to conclude it is because our media landscape is toxic. Bernie would agree and say that is why we need a populist message to cut through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone give me atleast 5 examples of Democrats being against the working class?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NAFTA and Wall Street bailouts come to mind.

  In regards to Bernie, his premise is that wealth inequality is the core problem, which means tax the rich until there are no billionaires left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You might be on to something in the sense that coming back with a more inclusive response is a better approach. I don’t think that makes them “right” though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the content of the threat matters for the IDF’s objective. If we’re to be cynical, the half-ass excuse is a geopolitical posturing to show how brazen they can be with their genocide and possibly a way to demoralize the Democrat’s base before an election.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not odd if you want to cause a mass migration of people to brake the front lines.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You summed it up correctly. The thing is the presidential race used to be a horse show, but that format was somehow easily hijacked by a rodeo clown.

  I clearly was talking about Judaism and you are not. “We” are talking about two different things 🤷

  Why do you think the Book of Revelations speaks to the Jewish faith? I am not of the opinion that Jews read the new testament.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart – and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained

  Satan checked with God first to see if it was okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not going to heaven doesn’t mean you automatically go to hell. Do you think the Jews thought all the gentiles were going to hell?

  That is because Satan is not the Devil: youtu.be/z8j3HvmgpYc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea how to react to this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How we view that past is how we treat the present. The fact Nat Turner’s family has not gotten closure is reflected in our more modern acts of racism.
