When we face dangerous or uncertain times, it becomes even more important to turn toward one another rather than inward. Fear and instability can make the world feel smaller and harsher, but community has the power to widen our perspective and remind us that we are not alone. #InSolidarity

The injustice is also unevenly distributed. These deaths do not happen in boardrooms or gated neighborhoods. They happen in public streets, to ordinary people, often in communities already over policed and under protected.

ICE, like many enforcement agencies, operates with extraordinary power and minimal consequence. Its mandate blurs civil law and criminal force, and that ambiguity becomes deadly. When things go wrong, the agency invokes national security, officer safety, or federal authority

Meanwhile, those who pulled the trigger are wrapped in institutional armor. Investigations are internal or federal, shielded from local oversight. Timelines stretch. Evidence is controlled.

This is the injustice at the heart of it: not only that a life was taken, but that the system built to deliver justice instead moves reflexively to protect power. When federal agents kill, the presumption is not accountability but justification.

NOW: Crowd continues to grow in Minneapolis at a vigil where a federal agent shot and killed Renee Good this morning. “SAY HER NAME!” “RENEE GOOD!” #ReneeGood #sayhername #protestIce

no, absolutely not, you all should've been nicer to my trans homies

Wealth is not neutral. Being a millionaire means benefiting directly or indirectly from the very systems these movements seek to dismantle. That doesn’t mean rich people can’t contribute, but it does mean they shouldn’t be centered, praised, or treated as

I don’t love how you ignored everything I said. Everyone says listen to trans women until one is actually in your face, asking for real help that doesn’t just amount to Brownie points and Kudos. I’m not targeting you specifically either. It’s pretty universal now.

When millionaires position themselves as the face or voice of abolition, anti-capitalism, or mutual aid, they flatten struggle into branding and turn movements into content. #ComfortIsPolitical #PositionAndPower

Stop praising millionaires who claim to be radical or supporters of mutual aid. Radical politics aren’t defined by what you say they’re defined by what you’re willing to risk. #WhoBenefits #OrganizeDontPerform

Millionaire activists can: Fund bail funds, legal defense, housing, strike support Redirect attention and money Shut up and follow the lead of directly impacted organizers #AbolitionIsMaterial #RhetoricVsReality

* No skin in the game. It’s easier to advocate for radical change when failure doesn’t threaten your rent, safety, or healthcare.

* Platform distortion. Wealth brings megaphones. When rich activists dominate the conversation, it crowds out people who actually live with the consequences of prisons, policing, housing precarity, etc.

* Abolition requires sacrifice. If someone isn’t willing to materially risk comfort, access, or power, their rhetoric starts to sound… theoretical.

* Mutual aid ≠ charity. Mutual aid is supposed to be horizontal, survival based, and rooted in shared risk. A millionaire talking about it while remaining financially untouchable can feel like cosplay. #mutualaid

When someone is a millionaire and still positioning themselves as a moral authority on abolition, mutual aid, or anti-capitalism, there’s an unavoidable contradiction.

Stopping the funding of hate is not about silencing free speech it is about refusing to subsidize harm. Everyone has the right to express opinions, but no one is entitled to corporate money or public legitimacy while spreading messages that endanger others. #SupportDiversity

Safety Is No Longer a Priority Perhaps the most damning failure is around physical safety. As violence against trans people escalates, many left organizations refuse to engage with self-defense, community protection, or emergency response. #PerformativeAllyship #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

Failure to confront misinformation and moral panic When anti-trans narratives spread about sports, bathrooms, prisons, or children left institutions often refused to confront them directly. Instead of defending trans people as a matter of principle, they entertained “debates” over legitimacy. #trans

From “Solidarity” to Silence As trans people face criminalization, healthcare bans, housing precarity, and routine harassment, many left organizations have responded with silence or vague rhetoric. #TransResistance #SurvivalIsPolitical

Whatever Happened to Mutual Aid? Mutual aid was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be about survival, not optics. About meeting material needs without gatekeeping or moral judgment. But increasingly, “mutual aid” has become a brand rather than a practice. #mutualaid

What This Moment Reveals The current crisis reveals a painful truth: much of the Left’s commitment to trans people was conditional. It lasted only as long as it was easy. Only as long as it didn’t threaten funding, coalitions, or respectability That doesn’t mean solidarity is impossible #transrights

When the Left Walked Away: Trans Abandonment and the Hollowing of Mutual Aid For years, trans people were told that the Left was the political home. They were told that progressive organizations, abolitionist collectives, and mutual aid networks would protect them when the state would not. #trans

A loss of trust that won’t be fixed with slogans The damage done isn’t just political it’s relational. Trust, once broken, isn’t restored by hashtags or last minute statements when elections approach. #TransPeopleAreNotAProblem

Burnout, Scarcity, and Internal Collapse It’s also true that many people on the left are burned out, underpaid, and struggling themselves. But that reality has been weaponized to justify abandonment rather than solidarity. #SolidarityNotSilence #PerformativeAllyship

When wealthy voices call the poor “scammers,” they’re not exposing fraud they’re defending inequality.
Dehumanizing people makes hoarding easier to justify. #NarrativesMatter #EndEconomicShame #WealthInequality

To justify extreme wealth, someone else has to be framed as immoral.
So the poor become dishonest, lazy, or manipulative.
That framing turns compassion into suspicion and survival into a crime.
It’s not accidental it’s necessary for inequality to keep functioning. #PovertyMyths #PowerAndProfit

Poor people are called scammers for using food assistance.
The wealthy call it “smart strategy” when they exploit tax loopholes and subsidies. Same system, different language.
One is criminalized for survival. The other is praised for accumulation. #ClassPolitics #EndEconomicShame

A local shelter serving trans people currently has no heat.
 Because the government denounces trans people, this shelter receives no public funding and relies entirely on community support. How you can help:
• Financial donations for heating and utilities
• #DonateIfYouCan
#HelpNow
#WinterRelief

If survival is framed as dishonesty, then hoarded wealth gets framed as virtue.
The accusation isn’t about truth it’s about maintaining power without guilt. #WealthInequality #ClassConscious

When the rich call the poor scammers, they’re not talking about money.
They’re talking about control. Control over the story.
 Control over who deserves dignity.
Control over a system that rewards accumulation and punishes need. #EndPovertyMyths

Calling poor people “scammers” is a convenient story for the wealthy.
It shifts attention away from underpaid labor, rising costs, and systems built to favor those at the top. #WealthInequality #PowerAndProfit #EndEconomicShame

When the rich talk about the poor, it’s rarely about wages or opportunity.
It’s about “choices,” “attitude,” and “work ethic.”
Because if poverty looks like a character flaw, no one questions why so many full-time workers still can’t afford to live. #SystemicInjustice

When the rich accuse the poor of scamming, they’re really defending their own wealth.
Shame keeps power intact. #ClassConscious #ClassPolitics #EndEconomicShame

Underpay people, overwork them, strip benefits, raise prices 
then shame them for not thriving.
It’s easier to blame workers than admit the economy is designed to funnel value upward.
The myth of “personal failure” is one of the most profitable tools in history. #FairWages #PowerAndProfit

The biggest lie is that poor people are scamming the system. 
Meanwhile, the richest dodge taxes, underpay workers, and rewrite laws to protect their profits. 
Calling survival a scam is how greed pretends to be virtue. #WealthInequality #SystemicInjustice

Economic Reality If poor people were really scamming the system, billionaires wouldn’t be getting richer every year. The real scam is paying people too little to live, then blaming them for needing help.
 Shame is cheaper than fair wages. #EconomicJustice #WorkersRights

The question isn’t why poor people need assistance.
The question is why full-time work still doesn’t guarantee stability.
Calling the poor “scammers” avoids that question and protects those who benefit from the answer. #WealthInequality #EndEconomicShame

Poor people are called scammers for surviving. Using food assistance, asking for help, or working multiple jobs just to get by is treated with suspicion and shame. #WealthInequality

To justify massive wealth, you need a villain.
 So the poor become “lazy,” “dependent,” or “scammers.”
That story distracts from low wages, inherited money, and policies that funnel wealth upward.
It’s easier to blame people than admit the system is rigged. #EndPovertyMyths #ClassConscious

One side survives on scraps. The other survives on systems designed in their favor. 
Calling poverty a scam is how inequality gets justified and repeated. #EndPovertyMyths

The wealthy often accuse the poor of “scamming” benefits while ignoring wage theft, tax loopholes, and corporate bailouts. #EconomicJustice

If the poor are framed as dishonest, then hoarded wealth looks like responsibility instead of exploitation. #dei

When the rich call poor people “scammers,” it’s not about fraud it’s about protection. Labeling people as cheats, freeloaders, or abusers of the system makes extreme wealth feel earned and moral. #dei

A society that underpays its workers must invent a reason they deserve it.
 So poverty becomes laziness. Struggle becomes failure. Survival becomes a personal flaw.
These stories aren’t harmless they justify low wages, weaken solidarity, and make inequality feel inevitable. #dei

Poverty isn’t accidental it’s framed, managed, and blamed on the very people being squeezed. #dei

Underpay people and call it “the market.”
When they can’t afford basics, say they should’ve worked harder, chosen better, or sacrificed more.
That story keeps attention off stagnant wages, record profits, and inherited wealth.
 #dei

This is how wealth protects itself by turning exploitation into a moral lesson and calling inequality “the natural order“ #dei

this is how wealth protects itself Underpay people, then lecture them about responsibility.
Keep wages low while rent, healthcare, and food skyrocket. 
When people struggle, don’t question the system question their character. #dei
