Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Wonder how much he paid Trump? I think the going rate is a million dollars.
trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

“Why are your posts so political?”
Because health is political
Because the President of the most powerful country on earth has said disabled people should be “left to die”
Because we’re living through a mass disabling event
