What America needs is ruthless unions. I mean RUTHLESS where shitheads like this would be terrified of crossing them.
But we don’t have that. Oh, well. I guess you peasants need to be more PATRIOTIC without pay, or else! 😑

Decommodify housing.

Everyone owns and maintains the home in which they reside for as long as they're there, and vacant homes are "owned" and maintained by the municipality until needed.

Nobody owns homes as an investment, and everyone has a right to housing.

If I had to guess, I'd say it probably has something to do with the decline in public investment as neoliberalism took hold

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Because there will always be those who seek to dominate and exploit others, the fight against authoritarianism will never end.

Even so, we can work to build a world in which it's much, much harder for any individual to gain enough power that the world is punished for their personal problems.

Taking kids' phones away is not going to reduce transphobic bullying. You can ask anyone who was out as a child before phones were everywhere

Dem Senators aren't for us unless they're for removing Chuck Schumer. Now is the time to highlight corruption in the Dem caucus and clean house.

Too many Senate Dems are bought and paid for and will fuck us and our entire democracy for their greed and the dark $$ that controls them.

I put a couple buttons somewhere clever and useful because I needed to do a repair.

It's been months, and I still haven't found them.

It's worse than that. The Democratic Party base is Charlie Brown, while Schumer and his wing of the party (the leadership) are Lucy, pretending they're just incompetent, rather than corrupt.

Unpopular opinion: washing your hands after pissing reeks of sexual Puritanism. It’s just piss. It’s basically ammonia or bleach. It evaporates. While you sit there blow drying your hands in the bathroom like Lady Macbeth screaming β€œout damn spot!”… 🀷 chill

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

Our rulers are shiftimng from choosing their electorates, to choosing their subjects.

This is part of a eugenics project. If this becomes normalized it will then be used to justify even greater oppression of sick or disabled USians, because they're also "burdens".

Neurodivergence is being mocked your whole life for being "weird" because you're different, then after years of social trauma finally learning to embrace your differences only to be told "everyone is like that, you're not special" πŸ˜’πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

If you aren't gonna fight the ever-rising tide of fascism with the very powerful and effective tools you have available as a U. S. Senator, you need to find another job. Or just retire. Don't care which. Just clear your desk into a couple of banker boxes and leave.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Incredibly depressing that the Democrats have bet it all on the pathetic state of our nation's attention span, confident that by the time these assholes can be primaried we will be too busy asking Grok if it's true that Trump shat himself in the middle of his most recent Nazi rally.
