It’s not a slogan. It’s a cause. Abolishing slavery was a cause, and everything that’s written below about prison abolition was written about abolition of slavery. It’s good to have causes, if they are just.
takethepith"Abolish Prisons" is a slogan that will immediately turn off 95% of people, regardless of the nuances in the literature. Far more harmful than helpful. The right clearly always wanted to make abortion illegal and punish women who got them. But they didn't make that their slogan! They knew better!
Unironically though Emily Wilson and Joyce Carol Oates are showing us what quality literate discourse actually looks like. This is the sort of fun & drama you can have if you don't defund the humanities
Mark HarrisHonestly laughing out loud that 88-year-old shit-stirring Olympian Joyce Carol Oates looked up in the sky, saw the Batsignal, and headed to her laptop. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Or the fucking nationwide commissary service on military bases, which seem pretty popular since even the Chuds had to back off from privatizing them
mtswWeird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores
I can't even bring myself to read it, but this is one of the reasons why I can't stay. I can't face the medical bills if sth bad happens. I'm already spending 6k a year (on top of income taxes, clarification for my Spanish followers) for being perfectly healthy and not going to the doctor at all.
Jay GarmonThis is an inspiring story of badassery until you realize this guy hiked 10 miles down a mountain with a filthy harpoon through his torso because that was *less terrifying* than the prospect of an air ambulance bill. No, really. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...
I keep getting shown these shitty, shitty self-serving ads and this fact almost makes it worthwhile. Almost.
