U·S politics
« Mr. Biden has centered his re-election campaign around the idea of “Bidenomics,” his record of infrastructure, high tech and clean energy spending aimed at creating good industrial jobs and shrinking income inequality. Despite those broad policies, Mr. Potrykus [68, a longtime electrician in the Ford plant], eyeing his own expenses, said he didn’t see either Democrats or Republicans as fighting for the working class.
“I don’t think either party is really interested in that,” he said. “It’s a war on us now. You’ve got the super rich and then you’ve got the poor.” »

bad praxis is better than no praxis and idc what your specific take is but if you think “the fediverse would be better off with No people countering racism than These Specific people countering racism” you are objectively wrong and clearly haven’t really thought about it

the other day people were sharing an npr article where an FDA guy was reported to insinuate that updated COVID vaccines might only be intended for at-risk folks.
the CDC voted nearly unanimously to authorize the updated vaccine for everybody. the head of the CDC published an opinion piece in the New York Times today titled “As a Doctor, a Mother and the Head of the C.D.C., I Recommend That You Get the Latest Covid Booster”. there was never any question that they were going to do this. stop listening to NPR

it's not like CNN where it's just everywhere or like the NYT where it is a notable newspaper of record. it's npr. you have to actively seek out their wealthy white suburbanite perspective if you want it
