  • Kyrsten knows firsthand the challenges everyday families face in Arizona. Born in Tucson, Kyrsten faced tough times as a kid, but she learned the power of hard work and the importance of helping others.

    Consistently ranked as one of the most independent voices in Congress, Kyrsten works every day to deliver for Arizona families – expanding access to quality, affordable health care, helping veterans get the benefits they’ve earned, creating good–paying jobs for Arizonans, and keeping Americans safe at home and abroad.

  • Michael Roberts has been writing a lot on COVID effect on capitalism.

    Some economists keep predicting (read: coping) by claiming something like a v-shaped recovery. In practice, any "recovery" is going to be to a lower level than it was before COVID. There has been massive increase in corporate debt, and growth was already at low levels prior to COVID. Much of the money from stimmy has gone to speculation and stock buybacks. The market has already been going through a massive crash for all intents and purposes. The economy was already fairly stagnant post recession. It will be even worse going forward.


















  • Any pandemic outbreak that needs to be managed necessarily requires testing.

    Mass testing by definition involves reduction in bodily autonomy should testing become mandatory. There is no increase in bodily autonomy being required to do a nasal swab than an anal swab. There is no bodily autonomy in requiring lockdowns that restrict your movement and what activities the public can engage in.

    Nothing about this story indicates diplomats being forced at gunpoint, and the entire basis for it is a ridiculous standard about "dignity" for exempting diplomats, a privilege the ordinary population don't get because they think butt stuff is icky and probably makes you gay or some other ridiculous hang up. If the testing is thought to be accurate, then it makes sense to use it where appropriate.

    You're a fucking idiot.

    Applauding a fascist for a one time check when he made a point of intervening to problematise giving money to immigrant families and ignoring the affect of his NLRB appointees on worker rights and ability to organise in the workplace is the absolute definition of baby brain.

    Shut the fuck up, you fucking moron. How are you dipshits given free reign on this stupid site, this place is so fucking garbage.
