At this point
in the current pandemic
I know most do not care
about threats to people,
and yet
I know many do care
about cute fuzzy animals,
so even if you don’t care
about what bird flu
may do to humans
perhaps you’ll care
that it recently killed
8 kittens in the Netherlands.

When buying a house is unattainable and jobs are disappearing, it's no surprise young people think they can’t succeed, especially young men.
It's not their fault. It’s Washington’s fault for allowing the middle class to be hollowed out just to make rich people richer.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.
They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.
The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

On Dec. 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated public bus. Her quiet act of courage sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began on Dec. 5, 1955 and continued for 381 days — until Dec. 20, 1956.
