Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

my gift guide is you should buy cool stuff created by cool people on bluesky.
buy their books, their art, their old-school zines, their music, their nut mixes, a membership to their patreon, their off-kilter tote bags, etc.
(and if you have a thing people should buy, post it! right now!)

🚨Using medication (haldol or whatever they gave him) is called “chemical restraint.” There are 4 men, one of which is enormous. Who would be cool, calm and collected? Fuck this. This is another abuse of power. It’s sick. 1/2

A Continuing Resolution that allows people to lose their healthcare isn't a 'clean bill'.
I voted against the GOP's budget bill that doesn't address rising healthcare costs and puts the healthcare of hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
