one of my best friends at the time was a girl my same age (10 years old) who wore a hijab and spent the next several years getting tormented by white boys for being a terrorist
But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

Everytime I wear this shirt I get multiple compliments. The nurse at the foot doctor really liked it.
Be cool and get one too. And you can be the favorite of the nurses.

American celebrations of independence get it all wrong by focusing on the Founders.
The actual spirit of revolution lies with the people who fight the powerful and it exists everywhere and cannot be destroyed, no matter how hard the wealthy might try.

I just got my student loans forgiven. I had about $38,000 in loans from grad school after paying for 10 years I was at a balance of $41,000. This will be an extra $500 per month for my family.
Imagine what people in this country could do with free or even cheap education. We could be great.

These e-scooters and bikes are an extension of car culture - individualism, privatisation, capitalism, and rentierism. They're solutions to a problem that wouldn't exist if we just had more buses and trams. Build the fucking trams!

We off the richest person in Britain and take all their stuff and give it to everyone else and then we work our way down the list of the next richest people doing the same until everyone else can afford food, warmth and housing.

..what does "ordinary people should not pay for this crisis" mean?
A rise in oil/energy prices makes the UK, collectively, significantly poorer. There is just no way that government can, or should, insulate 99%(or whatever) of the population from the impact of that.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
