When people are consumed with thoughts of survival they are far more likely to be swayed emotionally into deeply divisive us/them thinking.

Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

What the hell is with the continued #Genocide on Gaza?
All praise the Gaza peacemakers! They're:

-Dividing the strip into 2 zones
-Pushing Gazans into one, which will see airstrikes and raids
-doing reconstruction only in the other
-promising a foreign force made up of Europeans, who aren't willing to do it

You better be seen praising the peacemakers.

Exclusive: Almost all Palestinians have been displaced to ‘red zone’ where no reconstruction is planned

In the past, the tech religions were satirical. Now they’re just fooling people into believing the tech really is God to prey on them.

My regular reminder that, especially if you feel like nationally things are all going to hell in a handbasket, get up to no good in your own neighborhood! Go to local govt meetings. Hold meetings with your neighbors about the stuff you care about. It just might work: www.kgw.com/article/news...

Everyday Americans get nickel and dimed while the rich dodge taxes.

They struggle to get by while the wealth of the 1% skyrockets.

They see their voices drowned out while the well-connected avoid accountability.

There are two sets of rules in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.

This was Alessandra Korap Munduruku this morning. She lives in the Brazilian state where COP is taking place this year! She was not given a pass into the Blue Zone.

These are the voices you should be listening to, boosting, and celebrating. Not the politicians who are attending #COP30!

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Don't cross any union lines ✊
How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org
Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

But they cost much less, can be installed on balconies or in yards with little or no expertise, and can be easily taken down and reinstalled...So they’re ideal for renters or low-income households."

Honestly I really like being in community with people who have violent outbursts towards the thought of pedophiles and their enablers— that creates more of a feeling of safety than people who mitigate it.
