Sending poor people a box of fresh food

b) is a logistical nightmare
c) has no evidence of efficacy
d) makes no sense while cutting food stamps and medicaid
Stop laundering these people's dumb ideas into good ones!

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

In the 90s we were told in school that we needed to save water and energy and at the time I thought it was to save the planet on which we depend but only now do I realize we were saving it all to be wasted on the worst technology in history. I wish I’d done the slip and slide more

Industry-wide strikes and boycotts can work.
But they only work when they are led by the actual impacted workers, and they take a TON of force. I’m just saying you can’t find that kind of strength on instagram alone

No. It is not the job of ordinary citizens to show perfect message discipline.
It is the responsibility of actors with agenda-setting power — like, say, national newspapers — not to treat random-ass people exaggerating as a threat equivalent to the madman president.

How can an "entry-level" job require you to have experience with specific software that you would only get to use through working in that field???
Nobody wants to work anymore? Nah. Nobody wants to TRAIN WORKERS anymore.

I know that things *can* be better (= I'm hopeful). But I don't believe that they necessarily *will* be (= I'm pessimistic/realistic).
Mariame Kaba says, "Hope is a discipline."
When you have hope, you can take action even if you are not confident in the result.
I will try to maintain my hope.
