Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library.
You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library.
You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library.
You want sourced info? Library.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

We know what we saw on January 6th, 2021, and we won’t let Donald Trump rewrite history. No lie, denial, or pardon will ever wash away that stain.

While we're talking about why people hate insurance companies, can we pause? The problem isn't insurance. Or oil companies, or mortgage brokers, banking, or whatever industry we focus on in a single moment.
It's unfettered extractive capitalism, and we (USAmerica) just handed them our gov't.
kthx

Alt: three men are sitting at a table with the words our economy explained in cookies. one, dresed in a shirt, tie, and suit coat, grins and eats from his huge stack of cookies. One on the other end, wearing a tshirt and hoodie, stares at his cookie crumb. One in the middle tries to yell at the rich one, but the rich one gets him to attack the guy with the crumb instead.

It's astounding how the anti-immigrant crime narrative has taken over, despite this: We've had the fastest increase in the immigrant share of the population in decades, and the fastest ever decline in the US homicide rate.

Has anyone actually read the complete list of people Trump already pardoned & their crimes? I have. Every damn one of them. GTFOH w/your both sideisms & false moral equivalencies. People are sick of that old BS. I’m so tired of our hand-wringing weakness & refuse to participate.

A mandate for rampant sexual abuse?

How do you face fascism? I like Orwell's version: ground yourself in direct and immediate experience, trust your senses, find some joy, turn back to face the fascists and tell truths to combat the lies.
