The real is even if Sonya Massey had tossed a damn pot of boiling water on that man, she didn't deserve to be shot. I get so pissed off when people focus on the "innocence" of murdered people. She could have grabbed his damn holster and nothing justified her being murdered

Y’all still view fascism as a color you pick and not a process the ruling class enacts when it perceives its status as in danger.

Friday Drop In Services, a thank you in 4 parts.

A friend of mine just referred to somebody by saying: “he’s a thought leader in the space of white collar crime” and I can’t stop thinking about how accurate this is to a whole class of tech CEOs, “entrepreneurs,” and VCs.

EXACTLY. It’s not about AI taking your job. It’s about AI (rhetoric) giving your boss cover to replace you with a lower paid and more contingent and less organized/likely to organize labor force.

On TikTok, people are repetitively cleaning rocks until they’re shiny. And dance trends are back. There is also a presidential election and a major Covid surge right now. I swear these are all related. It feels like 2020.

Who really is Joe Biden's hand-picked successor, Kamala Harris? She didn't just fall out of a coconut tree! 🥥🌴 Here's the most comprehensive thread on the context that came before. 1/

TW: mention of suicide “People in crisis are getting billed by Ramsey County after calling the crisis line for help – including individuals in mental distress and contemplating suicide – which is alarming mental health advocates across Minnesota.” fox9.com/news/ramsey-co…

Students at Columbia and around the world have put their safety, security, education and future on the line to get in the way of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Now is not the time to turn away; these students need our continued support and protection.

Indians quoting Faiz to express their solidarity for the students’ revolution in Bangladesh are woefully ignorant of the sea of Bangla revolutionary literature, especially songs. Bangla is a language of revolution!

Donation needs, week of August 9: -Masc shorts and pants of all sizes -Sturdy shoes of all sizes -Sturdy backpacks and rolling suitcases

The mask ban in Nassau County, NY went into effect today. It’s a dangerous, discriminatory and highly ableist ban that makes masking a criminal act. The police will determine who is “sick enough” to wear a mask. Everyone else? $1000 fine and/or jail. 🧵/1

Reminder: the reason mpox is a global health emergency is because of vaccine apartheid. If the vaccine had been made available in the affected countries in Africa this would likely never have happened. And yet here we are, again, because of racist health priorities.

1. Ok why is Kamala Harris talking about price-fixing, gouging, mergers, and general pricing bullshit? Obviously it polls well. But why? Let's go over the *evidence* for why Americans are mad at big business over pricing. Let's start with rent. propublica.org/article/yields…

This is an example highlighting the white supremacy inherent in Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Tokenizing and weaponizing Black folks in attempts to legitimize genocide is absolutely disgusting and racist.

the purity test is whether it's ok to commit genocide. this isn't like whether we get student loans forgiven. this is the most sadistically evil thing happening on earth and we're funding and arming it.

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

oh! i can still log in here. hello
