The problem with capitalism is that it doesn’t solve problems, it capitalizes on them.

I’ve got to say, the liberal outrage with regard to school shootings falls a little flat when they’re sending bombs to Israel which has destroyed literally every single school in Gaza, slaughtering thousands and thousands of children.

One thing Vice President Kamala Harris could put in her platform is that, once elected, she'll restore funding for vaccines (like the C*vid vaccine) vital to individual/public health. Except doing so would underscore how she's part of the current administration that ended funding. Harris is Biden 2.0.

To be fair, we're doing this to the entire planet too.

The carceral system was never meant to imprison the ruling class. The carceral system exists to dispose of people who have no functional role in the production of profit for the wealthy or who disrupt the order that sustains that profit.

Also, please RT this y’all. I literally have TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS to give away to women and girls. I don’t need anything in return except that y’all help me find the women to give it to.

Being "able bodied" is temporary, you will age, you will get injured, you will get sick and you will wish you fought more for the system to protect the vulnerable.

53 years ago, on Sept. 9, 1971 incarcerated people at the Attica Correctional Facility took over the prison, demanding an end to the deplorable conditions that defined #prison life. AFSC's Akira Rose writes about the history of the #Attica uprising: afsc.org/attica

I wrote about Amendment #1 and why it would change the Constitution to outlaw something that is already outlawed. It’s smart to use an imagined hysteria over immigrants voting to get out the vote, but using disinformation to do so is bad for democracy. kentucky.com/opinion/linda-…

I think the guys with guns and a monopoly on the legitimate use of force should be able to take a little backtalk without flipping their lids

For grist: grist.org/business/a-new… “There has long been tremendous amounts of investment into Appalachia….The problem is by whom and for what purpose.”

I understand why Harris isn't doing this but it's important to repeat: - Immigrants commit crime at lower rates than native born Americans - Immigrants do not reduce native-born wages - Immigrants help the economy grow - America is great as assimilating immigrants

Again, the formulation “far too many Palestinians have been killed” implies an acceptable amount

It's easy to make fun of Trump and Vance's racist, anti-Haitian hatred. It's a lot harder to be critical of Biden's implementation of Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant policies, and Harris's focus on prosecution and deportation.

To win young people in November we need an arms embargo and major new commitments on climate change

my only problem with offering trans surgery to illegal immigrants in prison is that borders and prisons shouldn't exist but yeah if you're going to throw someone into a fucking cage you should probably meet their health needs

For the climate movement organizers upset about the moments VP Harris accepted the opposition’s frame and backtracked, I’d suggest getting together with people you trust, analyzing what power structures are in place that incentivized her to do that & make a plan to weaken them.

Voting for Harris = quicker climate collapse + more genocide + more cops + awful immigration policies + more Covid damage but bc she's not Tr*mp, it won't sound gauche, and that's really what the Dems are selling this round. They better not act surprised when folks don't buy it.

I'm not confused that Tr*mp is worse. But not one Dem voted for the current nominee in a primary, which would have given Dem voters a chance at: universal healthcare, student loan forgiveness, an end to genocide, climate targets, immigration reform, trans + repro priorities, etc.
