Avoid Amazon (and other similarly aligned corporations) when possible.
It's dangerous for us to take an absolutist stance. The reality is that for some people in some cases, patronizing these companies is unavoidable.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon...

I know no one needs to hear my opinion about nsfw bans but I wanna say something. I had a thought last night that the whole idea of consuming porn in any context is unhealthy and deplorable and an addiction, is actually almost completely influenced by social media's policies. I guess a thread. 🧵

The strong-arming control of media and the silencing of critical voices has no place in a government of, by, and for the people.
The Trumpian GOP is a fascist, anti-American terror organization, and the Trump administration is a fascist cesspool.

The United States Department of Justice is an enforcement arm of the Fascist government currently in power.
This government serves the oligarchy, not the people.

If you support someone targeted by Trump the DOJ will turn its investigatory muscle against you.

Are ICE a bunch of fascist shit bags, or are we looking at reporting bias?

This birthday parade bullshit just reinforces the idea that Trump is a sad impotent orange gremlin that needs strangers to love him because clearly his family isn't enough (or they don't love him).
Chutzpah is lying to dodge the draft and then asking the Army to celebrate your damn birthday.

Fascists don't like when people know things. It's even worse for them when the military has well educated leaders. Fascists want obedience.
Appalling. This does not reflect the stated values of this storied institution or the United States Navy. I’m glad President Carter didn’t live to see this shameful day.

The power of the people is far greater than that of the powerful. (Paraphrasing @booker.senate.gov)
“We the People” isn’t just a poetic preamble; it’s the foundational claim of our sovereignty. The Constitution doesn’t start “We the Government” or “We the Elite.” It starts by asserting that all authority flows from the people, and that government exists by their consent —it’s a radical principle.

Maybe if we could strengthen labor's position instead of empowering corporations to bust unions, we'd have a stronger union movement.
A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people.
There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave.
We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.
