    It just can’t be said enough: the fact that there are millions of people living in poverty is a choice this country actively makes every single day. We have more than enough money so that everyone could have food on their table & a place to live. It doesn’t have to be this way.

    Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

    Simple copy editing tip from somebody who sucks at copy editing: In your last pass, change the font to something unfamiliar. Then change the font size. When you're familiar with a piece, your eyes gulp whole passages and miss typos. New fonts focus your eyes on each letter.

    Hey Siri what's neoliberalism? Neoliberalism is the world's most valuable company getting a tax break from a state that cannot afford to fix its subways or fight hunger, while the company's founder gives a sliver of money away and is described by the media as a "philanthropist."

    Also the South (specifically the Delta) is the blackest part of the country! The framing of "the south is racist" completely erases the agency of the black population and the amazing organizing work being done in the Southeast.

    some people continue to act like the south is singular in its relationship to racism & while it certainly has a specific history that undoubtedly shapes the current landscape it’s disingenuous to pretend as if it has a problem with race that the rest of the country is immune to

    you can engage in criticism of individual politicians from the south w/o misrepresenting the ppl of an entire region the south isn’t just a bunch of racists it’s black & brown & pluralistic & complicated like any other part of the country so please don’t make it into a caricature
