Satire can no longer compete with reality. The most outlandish things we thought ridiculous 15 years ago have happened tenfold in real life, on repeat, with no consequences. The shit on VEEP and other hyperbolic imaginings now seem completely tame & even sane by comparison. What a fucking country. 😝

Post a book you love from the 80's. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #booksky #books #promosky

BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.

We aren’t built to carry 8 billion people in our heads at all times. If every country had universal basic income, we could focus on our own lives and communities without feeling like someone else’s poverty is our fault for not doing more. UBI makes care scalable.

Ffs save me from Good Germans. Sorry folks but it's WAAAAAY beyond time to choose a side. And to recognize that the sidelines don't exist anymore. You, me, him, her, them, *all of us* are a part of this whether you approve or not. And if you disapprove, DO SOMETHING.

If you see this, QTP with a sword.

Today, members of all parties have the chance to support Budget 2025 — to bet big on Canada, and make the big investments in infrastructure, housing, and major projects that Canadians deserve.

We need a drum beat for universal basic income and healthcare that only gets louder and louder. Consider taking a moment each day to post at least one thing about the need for them, or to repost what others have posted. I do this every day. You can use my timeline to save time. To those who do, TY!

“Hey Megyn Kelly, I'm Eloise & I'm 14y” “kids my age aren't supposed to be the ones correcting you. We're not supposed to be the moral compass in a room full of adults who should have known better. But here we are“ ”You're protecting the predator! & you shouldn't need a freshman to tell you that.”

Hi. It's me. I'm here to gently ask if you've been giving yourself grace? Patience? Self-care? You've got this. You are enough, and you deserve all the good things.

Can we have a setting to filter out all lazy quote posts? A single word or emoji (looking at you, finger pointing down and bullseye) are not additive. Just repost the OG instead of quote posting. Gonna start muting these accounts that QPT everything to make sure their own name is plastered on it. 😝

"Tax cuts are not what motivates investors or entrepreneurs, they’re not what creates jobs, and they undermine the things that do: broad economic stability and strong consumer demand... [Universal Basic Income] creates reliable consumer demand beyond subsistence spending." Canada should do UBI.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Blue states need to turbocharge their democracy reforms. Get ranked choice voting going! Do what Seattle did and do democracy vouchers to counterbalance rich spending! Reform primaries to be nonpartisan top 5 where all independents and 3rd parties can vote! Automatic voter registration and mail-in!

Universal basic income is nothing less than a goddamn human right just as much as universal healthcare and education are. And I don't care if anyone works less because we should be working less. We should have shorter weeks instead of bullshit jobs. We have the productive capacity to meet ALL NEEDS.

We absolutely need universal basic income as a secure floor below which no one can fall and everyone can build from. It should not be normalized for people to seek 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jobs in order to make enough money to survive or have a backup plan in case of unexpected job and income loss.

FYI, one of the most common observations from UBI pilots is that people pay down their debts and increase their savings. You can even see a recent example in this chart, where people did that with their stimulus checks. If we had universal basic income, we wouldn't pay for our existence with debt.

Change the legal term from sex trafficking to rape trafficking, victims of trafficking cannot consent to sex while being trafficked. It is rape.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

No Starbucks 'til workers get more bucks (and whatever else it is they are striking for)

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR. Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average. The system is rigged.

Good morning, BlueSky! Christmas mug season has arrived. ☕🌨️

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

TBH this barely even feels like a joke news article anymore. We've reached a point where reality is more outrageous than satire. 😝 #cdnpoli #neverpoilievre #neverconservative

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

None of the 8 senators are mine. I have no senator because I live in DC. I rely on others to do the right thing and this wasn't it. I am so angry right now. Absolutely livid. How dare you capitulate like this in a win-win situation where all you had to do was hold strong. You weaklings. YOU COWARDS.

Hey you know what would be great? If America had a fucking left wing party, instead of a bunch of God damn cowards and abandoners. This is not opposition. This is not striking a deal. This is getting fucking played, for nothing. All of this, all the suffering you watched happen, was for nothing.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.
