Congress of Workers in the process of building power following the science of socialism in New Hampshire
Ice has imprisoned over 131 people trying to live a good life in NH. This fascistic abduction of people is unacceptable and we cannot stand for this to be allowed in NH. Rise up, get organized and make your collective voices loud enough to demand and end to this cruel and unusual punishment.

22.12.2024 22:52 โ ๐ 107 ๐ 41 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 2Flyer handed out by "Luigis" in Austin, TX: "On December 4th, UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down. The bullet casings told the story: this was act of vengeance against UnitedHealthCare, who denies over 30% of health insurance claimsโa company emblematic of a system that kills. Every year, over 50,000 Americans die from lack of insurance. 38% percent of us avoid necessary care because weโre scared of the cost. One in twelve is drowning in medical debt. Health insurance companies arenโt doctors. They donโt healโthey profit by restricting access to care. While we ration medications, delay appointments, and worry about bills, they rake in billions. We get sicker and they get richer. This violence isnโt on the evening news. Itโs buried beneath their marketing, their endless paperwork, their fine print. But make no mistake: this is violence. And theyโre laughing all the way to the bank. Blue Cross Blue Shield, Texasโs largest insurer, denies one in five claims while pocketing $18 billion in revenue. Whether Thompsonโs death filled you with joy or horror, it ripped the mask off. The truth was laid bare: these companies are complicit in widespread suffering. Think about the last time you or someone you love worried about a medical bill. Put off care because of the cost. Cut pills in half to make them last. Youโve felt the violence they inflict. Now, the media and government scramble to spin the narrative, calling working-class mother Briana Boston a โterroristโ for uttering โDeny, Defend, Deposeโ when her claims were denied. We must remain clear headed: a small group gets rich off our illness. The solution is just as simple: abolish these corporations and nationalize health insurance. Single-payer healthcare works everywhere else in the developed world, where people live longer and healthier lives. Texans, by contrast, die three years yonger, victims of private healthcare. The only question left is this: When will we stop waiting and take what is ours?"
Today in #Austin, a group of "Luigis" rallied against corporate healthcare + in solidarity with Briana Boston with a banner reading "Deny, Defend, Depose: Greed Kills, passing out flyers + posing for photos with passersby. From flyer (see Alt Text): "When will we stop waiting and take what is ours?"

Congratulations to Gerry Connolly, at a spry and sprightly 74, for defeating AOC for the Oversight committee chair.
We know the Dems truly wanted the nazi who drank from the wrong goblet for the position, and Connolly stepped up when he sadly crumbled to dust.
Trump better be careful!
RAVEN SLANDER West End Sex Workers Memorial In the back lane off Davie Street I light a cigarette No smoking indoors anymore Fishnets & tall boots I like what I think they're thinking the passers-by Inhaling flashes of cities & of nights street corners & strolls of excitement & anticipation of men in cars of money coming money going of waiting around & smoking Truly I don't know what they're thinking Times have changed I'm older now Not as skinny dope skinny, it's true
Hustling Verse Then, I wore crop tops & tight tights so they could see what I had cuz I knew what they wanted the chasers, the johns Taunts being spat at bad dates getting ripped off roughed up & beaten up I remember too But we rode the night trannys on the tranny stroll shit talkers & straight shooters rivals & thieves spotters & seraphims companions & lovers cocaine & courage heroin & bareback We rode the night until the genocide of indifference & conniving knives of hatred disappeared us all Here in the back lane just a block from the newly erected West End Sex Workers Memorial a tall pillar a lighted crimson beacon a bronze plaque Finally this for us
In the end a red-light tomb A car slows my breath sharpens I wonder & light another cigarette
A photo of a black memorial which reads in gold lettering, The West End Sex Workers Memorial
On International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, we want to share this poem by Raven Slander about the West End Sex Workers Memorial in Vancouver.
In honor of every SWer who is no longer with us, and every SWer who has faced violence because of who they are.
