so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

My heart breaks for this woman and her family. This country is so fucking inhumane.

Does everyone understand they are breaking of public services because 1) they want to privatize them to make money off of them, 2) they do not believe everyone should have access to these services. This is how white supremacist eugenicists who think empathy is a weakness function.

They say they’re against DEI because:

They’re against diversity.
They’re against equity.
They’re against inclusion.

On a foundational level.

When you treat your country like a business and you elect business men to run it, it shouldn’t be surprising that they are treating a change in power as if they have just purchased a business that they will now run, including eliminating the existing workforce & structures to bring in their own.

Starbucks workers AND Amazon workers are on nationwide strikes during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. I truly hope their bosses are sweating bullets :)

When you call 911, they ask “police, fire, or EMS?”

Only one of those costs money: the ambulance. That’s unacceptable.

Imagine if your house was on fire and you were presented with a bill after it was put out. That would be outrageous.

So why do we tolerate it with healthcare?

It all starts with education. 📚

Wisconsin’s dedicated teachers, staff, and support teams are the strongest partners we have in building a bright future for our kids and our state.

Thank you for all you do—in and out of the classroom—to help our kids succeed! 🍎 🏫 ✏️ #AmericanEducationWeek #AEW2024

Trans people just want the right to exist safely as their true selves, like everyone else.

But they’ve become easy scapegoats for the GOP, who vilify them and threaten to criminalize their very existence.

It's straight from the authoritarian playbook.
