One last reminder for tomorrow! You are all cordially invited to our Groundbreaking Ceremony tomorrow on September 13th of this month. From here, we can build community wealth from houses to worker co-ops to radical public banking.

Say what you want about the actual viability of infiltrating the Democratic Party with socialists, but the sheer intensity provoked by that infiltration instills the most apoplectic panic I ever see among the Ruling Class in the U.S.

As a union member of Uc-Aft: Riverside Chapter, I came to UCR’s May Day Rally in support of UPTE union, which is being man-handled & under resourced where workers are taken for granted paid piss-poor wages during a hiring freeze. #WorkersOfTheWorldUnite

Apparently Tesla isn't selling any cars which also means it's not selling carbon credits. It made 2.7 billion in carbon credits last year. Carbon credits is largely what has kept the company afloat

A lot of Irish Americans — too many of whom are MAGA —need to draw on their immigration history of being starved out of their home country by a hateful, imperial occupier enforcing deliberately cruel laws. It is a sin to view people as ‘other’ when your ancestors suffered that fate.
My grandma was a Biafra war survivor.
So it’s likely certain survival instincts for me are kicking in about our current situation.
But from her I learned it’s possible for things to be a little shaky for a while, and then one day all of a sudden, your world is gone, and you have to leave.

PUT $ ON THE BOOKS OF INCARCERATED FIREFIGHTERS
There are over 1,000 incarcerated firefighters currently fighting the flames in LA. They get paid $5-$10/day. This is modern day slavery & this practice should be abolished.
Until then, send some $ here: bit.ly/FirefighterGI

I need to get back to imbibing papered hallucinations (sustained reading of books). Long overdue and on my shelf too long, it’s high time to read Aaron Bastani’s “Fully Automated Luxury Communism” (FALC; published in 2019) and see where my brand of utopian thinking meets his. #TheFutureIsAMixtape
