    Watched this week..this particular exchange between 2 characters captures everything about what it feels like caring for people living with HIV and cancer - and it’s not historical, it’s happening now. There’s no pill to treat shame or stigma.

    Things Dems in DC are afraid to do, and how voters feel about those things: -$15/hr (59% 💰) -Universal healthcare (63% ⚕️) -Legalize cannabis (68% 🥬) -Universal background checks (92% 🔫) Someday maybe we'll learn voters reward action, not genuflecting to arbitrary rules

    A key point. And with vaccines the gov will work to fix glitches as fast as possible, whereas for Medicaid, SNAP, etc, it often takes a lawsuit and months or years to get people what they need. The outrage over vaccine websites is warranted, but it can reveal privilege too.

    Replying to @JulieZauzmer
    I need people who don't generally have to deal with government programs to understand that the experience with wrt vaccines is what we poors go through every single day just to try and meet our basic needs. Administrative hurdles like this are how we keep people in poverty.

    Go through all of the scenarios for how to react to the parliamentarian's minimum wage ruling and there's always someone or something in the way. So put the bill on the floor. Practice politics.

    The refresh-website-all-day-good-luck-to-you method of apportioning appointments is terrible! What we needed is a single point sign-up once, and call back to people via phone/text/email so we catch them *plus* outreach and workplace/neighborhood vaccinations.

    There’s so much suffering in life that would be unavoidable even in the best circumstances. But there’s also so much unnecessary suffering — every suffocating medical bill, every death from uninsurance or high deductibles — that is utterly meaningless and totally unnecessary.

    You know what really erodes important economic and social linkages between income and work? 50 years of rising productivity with no rise in wages 🤪

    3/ By contrast, we should not consider "just send everyone money" an effective anti-poverty policy for non-working families. It's not the right way to address poverty, and it erodes important economic and social linkages between income and work.

    "We're losing all of our friends/Pretty soon it's gonna be just you and me across the table" made me think of Terry Castle's tale of social mortification at a dinner party with L.A. + L.R. (scroll way down).

    I did not think about this until Ari said it and now I can't unsee/unfeel it.

    What's happening in Texas is starting to remind me of the first few days of Katrina: a slow-rolling disaster that initially seems like it doesn't have huge immediate human cost, takes days to compound and unfold in its fullness and is wait-and-see'd by authorities until too late.
