    Liberals vs. Leftists... Liberals want a more diverse group of highly paid CEOs. Leftists want to get rid of highly paid CEOs.

    when a parent learns about the exploitation of capitalism via their kids doing chores

    I have two daughters, Anna (13) and Sue (11). While I was away from, I told Anna that I would give her $20 if she mowed the lawn and cleaned the backyard. When I returned, the work was done and I paid her. However, I later found out that Anna had her younger sister Sue do the work, and promised her $10 to do it. Now I haven't mentioned this to Anna, but I am uncertain how to approach it. On one hand, the work got done and Anna paid her sister what was promised. On the other hand, Anna did not tell me how she did it, but I never really asked. She simply told me that she made sure that the yard work was done, and it did get done. In a way, it was like she subcontracted the work to her sister, or delegated responsibility. Part of me is kind of proud of how she handled it, but another part of me is wondering if she exploited her sister, despite the fact she paid her and Sue was alright with doing it. I want to get some feedback on suggestions of how I should handle this, if at all

    Loving this early panel on how to be a social justice warrior in the academy. I COULD be a little biased since three of my advisees are on it dropping some key knowledge. With and Jeff Tischauser

    “Up to” 10k and only for means tested borrowers who meet the threshold. They’re fucking up a golden opportunity already.

    On Monday, President-elect Joe Biden affirmed his support for erasing some student debt "immediately." The provision calls for the federal government to pay off up to $10,000 in private, nonfederal student loans for "economically distressed" borrowers.

    may as well be satire

    Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: "Nancy Pelosi -- a voice for the voiceless, a defender of the disenfranchised, a legendary legislator, a notorious negotiator, and a powerful, profound, prophetic, principled, public servant."

    it's really simple math: you would've had trump again if fewer of us voted. we have to be citizens and alive to vote. white nationalists want to kill and denaturalize us. i'll appeal to your ridiculous, narrow minded partisanship and say that's bad for the democratic party

    i guess what it's come to is this: if you continually forgive white nationalists, you're signing on for gop rule indefinitely. i know you don't care about our lives so let me bring up the real fear

    the white minority in this country wants to forgive the white majority for all the white nationalism, which is an interesting thing to do considering how deadly that ideology is for the people who actually ended up voting trump out

    the world is surely reeling from this loss

    ANNOUNCEMENT (Thread): Farewell everyone. My mission here, as well as my husband's and brother-in-law's (Brian and Ed Krassenstein) was always to fact-check Trump and counter his use of social media to attack our democracy. On November 3rd, we won, America won and the world ...

    As someone who had a man fake his politics to date me that Obama piece isn’t funny to me. It’s a pervasive problem in our movement spaces right now.
