This is so well put. Thank you.

The greed is flooring. My husband and I feel we have a reasonably comfortable life, largely due to his job at a public university, where he does earth science research (fuck!). Things are getting tighter because of Seattle’s increased cost of living, and as a freelance writer, I don’t contribute much. But as long as…

The rural areas really need to take their farms back. Big agro and international trade agreements destituted too many, and got their claws into the rest, such that they can’t extricate themselves from the cycle - and while it’s no panacea, if people re-started actually growing real, local harvest-to-table food again,…

Girl, you need a new best friend! Your best friend, fundamentally, doesn’t care about your experience and your rights.

While I admire and agree with most of your vitriol, bear in mind that 45% of educated white women who voted went with Trump.

That’s trump’s base. White, pissed off early 30/late 20 something men and their…

Seriously I want to slap those rural white voters and yell at them that no, just because Trump is president doesn’t mean an unskilled high school dropout will magically get a $25 per hour factory job in the middle of cow pastures and soybean fields. Yes your benefits and food stamps will get cut some more like what…
