Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Monbiot is in the U.K., but now is a good time for Mericans to consider laying up some staples if possible.

1. Reading some of the comments beneath this week's column, I'm struck once again by how fiercely resistant many people are to understanding how our food is produced, how it reaches us and how the system works. This willed ignorance is lethal. Short🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care. But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix. The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.

An Alabama mom hit by the Bourbon Street attacker's truck then shot in the attack, who still has a bullet lodged in her foot, told a @nolanews.bsky.social reporter that the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence.

Every election postmortem makes it clear people voted for Trump for two reasons 1. He has a mystical association with money to them, like throwing a coin into a fountain and wishing for wealth 2. They want people “beneath” them to suffer to reinforce that they’re above someone.

OK, by popular demand... here's my rendition of what I call "The Offramp". It's the virtuous circle antidote to the vicious cycle of the Doom Loop. It *starts* with social movements for economic and political justice. So, grab a pitch fork, and let the billionaire class know we're coming!

You are up to date.
