Whiteness is a cult which is killing America.

Haole - Antifa - Gadfly - they/them - I'm not why you're angry.

(It's pronounced Ihz-LAH. "Ihz-" like the English word "is," "-LAH" like "do re mi fa so LA ti do." Yes, it's my real name. My dad made it up.)

I've always said, since my childhood being brought up in the church, if all the Christians in America were as devout as they claim to be, we would have no hungry people and no homeless people at all. (1/3)

A screenshot of a social media post by Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz White text on a black background reads "That TikTok lady calling all those churches asking for baby formula and recording them telling her to go fuck herself destroyed pretty much every argument for American conservatism."

A text based meme. A purple, red, blue, pink, and white gradient background with black text. The text reads ""No government fights fascism to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees that power is slipping out of its hands, it brings up fascism to hold onto their privileges." Buenaventura Durruti

#GeneralStrike #GeneralStrikeUS #AbolishICE #WealthTax #WorkingClass #AntiRacist #ADHDBrain
A text based meme. White text on a green background reads "The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy - it's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now." A screenshot of a social media conversation between two people. White text on a black background. audreylovesparis writes "Why are so many Americans afraid of socialism but not terrified of fascism?" camilabae95 replies "Racism is the foundation of the US. Socialism implies equality. equality terrifies people who've built their self-worth on being above others. Socialism in their head boils down to 'If they get what I have, what does that make me?' Fascism promises power to the in-group, while socialism threatens to redistribute it."

The second post reads "every single person who doesn't support a universal healthcare system thinks that some people who get sick and can't pay deserve to die. that's just how it is. sorry if that makes you uncomfortable."

A text based meme. White text on a black and grey gradient reads "One of the unacknowledged silver linings of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between wealth and power. The intentions of the oligarchs are exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs."

A screwnshot of a Facebook post by Robert Reich. Black text on an orange background reads: "The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax,” while also usurping the power of Congress and trampling on the DOJ’s independence, is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover-up."

A two panel hard-to-swallow-pills meme. The top panel shows an illustration of someone's left hand holding a pill bottle while they use their right hand to point at the label. The label reads "Hard to swallow pills." The second panel shows an illustration of someone's left hand holding three pills, while their right hand points to the pills. The pills are labeled "Poverty is not 'inevitable' or 'natural.' It is a byproduct of capitalism."

#GeneralStrike #GeneralStrikeUS #Homeless #WorkingClass
A Wojak style meme in three panels. It shows a depiction between Bearded Wojak and AnCap Wojak. In the first panel Bearded Wojak says "Should we house the homeless?" and AnCap Wojak replies "Hell no!" with a shocked expression. In the second panel, Bearded Wojak says "Lock them up for being poor?" and AnCap Wojak replies "Now we're talking!" while grinning, putting on sunglasses, and giving the thumbs-up sign. In the third panel, Bearded Wojak says "So... House them, but in the most expensive way possible?" AnCap Wojak makes no reply, but is looking annoyed.

Finally watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, now that it's on Netflix. F*cked me up, but in a good way.

Happy #caturday to all who observe.

This is not one of my cats. Kenny is my neighbor's cat who got out and who I grabbed and housed overnight for my neighbor to pick up in the morning. He stayed in the bedroom with us, to keep him from my two. Kenny is such a cuddle bug.

As if tax revenue comes out of the sky or the profits of companies isn't produced by workers. It's not about 'free shit' it's about giving workers back the value they produce."

A photo based meme in two panels, one on the left of the frame and one on the right. The first panel is a black and white photo of historian and teacher Howard Zinn. He is wearing a light colored button up shirt. His grey hair is combed back from his forehead. He is gazing at the camera in at a 3/4 angle and can be seen from the shoulders up. His expression is quietly determined. The background shows blurred trees. The second panel is a quote from Howard Zinn. White text on a black background reads "Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience."

A screenshot of a Facebook conversation based on a meme originally posted by Intersectional Memes And Feminist Dreams. The meme is a two panel format based on specific frames from the first American run of the improv comedy show, Whose Line Is It Anyway. In the top frame, Drew Carey is asking for "Things to say that will always start a fight." In the bottom frame, Ryan Stiles responds "Everybody deserves food and shelter before anybody deserves rental properties or yachts." A comment replying to this meme, by Tina Davis, reads "Or 300 million dollar gold ballrooms, gold bathrooms, and over the top hedonistic lavish parties during a major American crisis. MAGA can blame the democrats til the cows come home, but it doesn’t change the FACT Trump had a lavish *let them eat cake* affair during the heart of all this." In response to Ms. Davis' comment, Yhsla Lee (yours truly) responded "I mean, as a Socialist I can blame both MAGA and the Democrats. The Dems aren't as virulently hateful as MAGA, for sure, but they're still Capitalists (and Imperialists) whose past policy decisions paved the way for a lot of this current nightmare to happen."
