It’s time to realize we’re all lashed to a ticking time bomb that is capitalism and this profit-seeking machine tuned to the wishes of the wealthy.
It wasn’t okay to consume products made by people and children being exploited and what’s happening now isn’t okay. We need different. We need better.

In case anyone needs it spelled out for you, a fascist regime kidnapping people off the street because they protested atrocities and then claiming they supported “terrorism” is the rhetorical weapon they can use on anyone they want to disappear.

The media platforms that should be calling out this authoritarian takeover are owned by the wealth class carrying out the takeover.
Their main intent is to normalize the situation for white, middle class liberals while communicating a fear of resistance and undermining any critique of power.

Hey, if you are doomscrolling, wondering what to do, maybe make a meal for the cancer patient in your life. For their family. I can't tell you how much I longed for someone to bring home-cooked meals to my mom--& to all of us caring for her. We often didn't have the bandwidth to cook/shop.
