NEW: Angie Nixon is running for Senate on a huge bet: Medicare for All can win over Trump voters in Florida.
To put that theory to the test, we brought Nixon to one of the unhealthiest counties in Florida — where 1 in 5 lives in poverty, thousands are uninsured, and doctors are few and far between.

Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.
Someone told me he thinks dating apps are bad because they let you access connection without having any motion in your life. Normally meeting people requires going out into the world, entering new scenes and navigating unfamiliar situations. You have to be living a life that brings you into contact with other people. Dating apps let you order connection without doing any of that work

The return of Public Spectacle Executions is widely known by historians as the first sign of things going really well

People who are heavily invested in not hearing or understanding what you’re saying will never be happy with the delivery method. It doesn’t matter how ~chill~ you are, or how strident. If you’re chill, they can ignore you, if you’re annoying, they feel justified in ignoring you.

I think one of the things I actually value about masking as well as things like boycotts is the practice of regularly inconveniencing yourself for your values and politics. Which is something I do think is a skill that needs practice, especially in this world that makes...

Working thread of published research on COVID 19. Every claim links to a real study. Published, peer-reviewed research from journals like Nature, The Lancet, BMJ, and Nature Medicine. Not speculation, this is what the mainstream science says. Please take it seriously.

One of the most successful psyops is convincing people that marginalized people are annoying - because once someone’s suffering annoys you, abandoning them starts to feel righteous.

I want a theory of suffering that says: you are witnessing a genocide and it wounded you because it SHOULD wound you. the answer cannot always be to create enough distance that you can live normally again. sometimes the answer is to let that wound bind you to an obligation to act

I’m tired of having to repeat this again and again.
People naturally feel more comfortable donating to organizations because they seem more trustworthy, official, and established, with a strong presence and a large number of followers. But many of these organizations are run on the ground by people who exploit the situation for their own benefit.
The second problem is that Israel restricts humanitarian aid from entering Gaza. So even if the money is used to purchase aid, there is no guarantee that it will actually be allowed into Gaza. In both cases, your donation can end up achieving nothing.
One of the most direct and effective ways to support people in Gaza is to donate directly to verified family campaigns. The money goes straight to families, allowing them to buy what they actually need based on their circumstances and to pay the rent for the shelters they are living in.
Imagine if $1 or $2 million were distributed directly among families instead of being poured into the pockets of people running organizations and projects under the name of “humanitarian work” while operating more like private profit-making businesses.
The impact on families would be enormous.
I do not understand why direct aid fundraisers are not getting enough attention.
People in Gaza have told us that they do not trust big organizations & prefer direct aid to families in need.
I try to highlight small fundraisers for vetted cases that i'm 100% sure about & donate to personally.
Would be amazing if celebrities donated to direct aid campaigns.

Shout-out to the Miccosukee Tribe for successfully fighting against and helping shut down Alligator Alcatraz. I didn't see them get much credit. Their efforts should be recognized. ✊🏼

The skillset that's actually lacking in every organizing space I'm in is basic follow through. There's a small handful of people capable of remembering shit, showing up where they said they would and doing the tasks they committed to. Work out those muscles.
