Hot off my lap. True stories of the harrowing 1989 variety. We only came out at night. We liked motorcycles. We were: NIGHTCLUB EMPLOYEES. The photo below is real, by Dan Gingold.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Trump has escalated his attack on Portland by deploying more Feds to Portland for the purpose of intimidating and silencing our community, so that we comply in advance with his fascist regime. Don’t acquiesce. Join an org, talk to your neighbors and build solidarity networks to keep each other safe.

Hello, UK Labour. I understand the appeal of getting into bed with seductively deep-pocketed US tech companies, but before you leap, consider this. And Palantir, whose owner promotes discredited theories of racial hierarchies, is even worse.

The shocking thing about the benign political voice of Ben & Jerry's being silenced by Unilever is that Unilever isn't even a particularly evil company. It's half Dutch, it's publicly owned. If multinational motherfuckers are censoring themselves in advance for Der Furor, they've given up on us.
