(there is nothing wrong with calling this a war crime, most war crimes consist of the unlawful and unwarranted murder of noncombatants)

Our economic system doesn’t work if 37% of people on food assistance are working full time. These companies are exploiting and stealing from their workers.

I will drop a celebrity like a hot potato if they're transphobic. No one is free unless we are all free. When you start to add caveats to who gets autonomy and freedom, we've already lost the battle.

Boycotts work. Keep going.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: 1: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Chili Peppers triple bill 2: U2 3: Sister Machine Gun 4: Low 5: Calexico

Gonna be funny as hell to see what Trump's "best economy in the history of forever" is gonna turn out on Black Friday. All of my commumity is boycotting it. All the way to the 2nd. Good luck with that.

You never really know what people are dealing with. I am reminding myself of this a lot lately.

New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

We need so much more of this. I hope they make it work. I think of the things people could accomplish with their needs met to some extent, so they might have some time to give back to the community that supports them. What would that world look like?

That’s amazing!! I hope it amounts to something. Nothing personal, but I think we have all seen progressive administrations that were unable or unwilling to rein in police even after repeated promises to do so. That said, you are the best person for the job!

I’d consider voting for that.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent. Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

Larry isn’t guilty by association. He’s guilty and deserves fullest possible sanction entirely on his own merits.

It’s bizarre that media keep reporting that the trouble Larry Summers now faces is because his close ties to Epstein have been exposed rather than because the emails clearly show Larry is a sexual predator who admitted to attempting to use his university position to extract sex from a student.

this man is a delight and needs to be protected at all costs

“It’s on us” So true, and I don’t know if we’re collectively up to the task. There is so much institutional inertia keeping people from imagining a better way of being. We are indoctrinated into capitalism from birth and find it hard to believe the system is stacked against us.

Those who believe Trump is an aberration fail to see he is the embodiment of what millions of Americans want and desire. Each time he escalates in his fascist positions he is giving permission for them to get worse and for the environment to grow more and more dangerous.

I was once again struck by just how utterly pathetic the loser-men of our ruling class currently wrecking society are and I remembered the fashy meme. They, the fashy men sharing it, the contemptible losers of our ruling class, are the weak men. It resonates with them cos they see themselves in it.

When you say bosses... Mayors, Governors, Senators…...

www.wbez.org/public-safet... - the fact that this is just regular order really speaks to this country.

Rules for thee but not for me, always in effect for the leadership class. Why do we continue to allow this shit?

Trump shouldn’t be removed in an electoral vote or through death, he should be removed in handcuffs for the entire world to witness. We need tribunals and justice.

This is beyond horrific. ICE is responsible for the well-being of people in immigration detention and it is failing that responsibility miserably. Mr. Ge’s loved ones and the American people need answers immediately. www.newsweek.com/ice-detainee...

So true! The trans folks in my life are amazing. Wish I could make a blanket statement like that about CIS men.

So… alienating your customer base isn’t a winning business strategy after all? Nobody could possibly have predicted this. /s

Turn every Target into affordable housing. I don't think they'll be needing those buildings much longer.

Much in the same way people don’t even think about suggesting we fund universities at the levels we did when they were massive engines for mobility, people want to make it so any effort to redress systemic racism is unthinkable moving forward.

How many lives has he ruined already? Going to school ought to be a safe place to learn and explore, not hunting ground for lecherous old jackasses. Frankly there should have been consequences all along, that they might come all at once seems fair too.

👇 No Nazi’s.

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves — this week.

So yes, I want the whole damn thing eliminated. I want the police defunded in favor of healthcare and basic income for all. I want prisons and jails replaced by programs to eliminate poverty and treat addiction without stigma. I want drugs and petty theft and sex work decriminalized.

For the people asking me what I mean by "people over institutions" and "abolish the carceral state": The American prison industrial complex is a for profit institution built on the systematic oppression and criminalization of racialized people. It should be eliminated.

In our current system, we are all just marks to be exploited or rulers looking for gains. Once you have been exhausted to the point of not being able to pay for housing, your value as a mark, is reduced. You no longer need to be considered fully human and are ripe for new levels of depravity.

We need wholesale change, but there are still so many people brainwashed to believe that capitalism is the answer for everything. It’s the reason we are in this situation at all. While it may incentivize some creativity, ultimately it’s about selfishness and hoarding. We can do better.

Run with it!!!

The new stickers are here and currently cover three out of four sides of the period product tower

When people say the law should be "applied neutrally" and "without politics" -- that doesn't means anything. There is no neutral application of the law. Every decision to stop someone, to question them, to arrest or not, to charge, to seek the death penalty etc is a political choice.

They aren’t concerned liberal arts will leave you qualified only for a job as a barista. They are concerned college will thin the pool of potential baristas and make the rest less docile.

What the absolute hell? We’re paying more than apartment rental rates for tent parking spaces? And to make it worse, they cut the capacity in half and still paid the full rate? We are funneling money into a black hole with no plans for solutions. laist.com/news/housing...

We need to wake up! www.laprogressive.com/progressive-...

Four in 10 women under the age of 45 say they'd like to permanently leave the U.S. Probably not coincidentally, they have also disproportionately lost trust in American institutions, including in the Democratic Party. www.pbump.net/o/the-subtex...

The greatest indignity of all is tomorrow I have to record Content about this, because that’s literally what having an account with this reach is for

The only way we will win a better world is not only leftism for America, but internationalism. “Researchers who have anything to do with China should have their careers ended” is a bipartisan position, and it can’t be anymore. If we live in a fragmented world, it will burn in our lifetime

It’s my courageous queer friends that remind me to be courageous. I am stronger because I see their strength and compassion. The way that the LGBTQ+ community is often closer to the kind of world I want to us all to have, makes all of us better. We ALL matter, or none of us do.

Jeffrey Epstein knew Trump was an evil scumbag and tried to out him for the good of the country. We are at a place where a convicted child rapist and fraudster was doing more to protect the American people and democracy than any republican other than Cheney and Kinzinger.

Once you are no longer “productive” in capitalism, your only value is as part of a larger faceless group. A problem that can be serviced at a cost, but never solved. That ensures that even your corpse can be fuel for the machine.

I’ve said this before, but a huge function of our carceral system is resource extraction from exploited communities, and that includes the fees, commissary, and essentials people send to their loved ones, not to mention the time, attention, energy, etc.

Society doesn't take your trauma as an indicator you could use some care. Hell no. Society takes your trauma, if it's the big bad boy trauma, as a mark on you that makes you a freak.
