Universal Movement For America

This is a fascist regime.

In part because it's so limited; people have to make do with what they have access to.

Hand-drawn digital illustration of a disabled nonbinary person with forearm crutches. They have a green mullet and are wearing a black t-shirt, purple cargo pants, green chunky heels and a green belt. There’s text that reads, ‘being disabled shouldn’t equal being poor.’

Means testing and asset caps on the disabled are unethical and immoral. No one should be forced into poverty just to access vital services.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Given how TriMet has had extensive NS and EW light rail for over 2 decades now, and we're still fighting to get that... it's SO frustrating.

The Seattle area REALLY needs something like Portland Metro. One regional transit authority, one system, one fare structure, one administration. We shouldn't have multiple different transit authorities covering a 30 mile radius.

The regime is afraid of facts.

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

HEY USA FRIENDS it’s holiday season at the post office so here’s my annual thread on how to make all of your postal workers have a nicer month!

1. Be nice and prepared if you’re mailing things! You might have to wait! Still be polite and click the smiley face on the stupid little screen!

Exactly. The arguments that #BasicIncome will let people sit around and do "nothing" are firmly rooted in the LIE that the only appropriate adult human activity is selling your labor to others, and JEALOUSY that someone else might not have to work themselves to the bone.

This is the #GestapICE

And anyone going "but they have a living baby" will get a swift kick in the virtual genitals, and a meeting with the block button. Ghouls.

Baby boy born to brain-dead Georgia mother remains hospitalized nearly 6 months later, family says Adriana Smith's pregnancy made national headlines when she was declared brain dead but placed on life support to let her fetus grow. Now her family is sharing an update on the condition of her infant ...

The State of Georgia should be 100% financially responsible for this child's care. Plus restitution to the family for pain and suffering.

Medicare for All and universal basic income aren't separate policies - they're two parts of the same answer to the economic insecurity that AI and automation are accelerating.

The fact that the media isn't calling ANY of the regime on ANY of their bullshit is PART OF WHY WE'RE IN THIS MESS.

"fog of war".... and not a single journalist went "Sir, that's not what that term means." They just let GI Ken spout whatever, including calling *them* the liars.

The racism is the point.

not to keep ragescreaming about Hillary Clinton but can you imagine if she and Biden had just gracefully retired after the Obama administration? they were popular then! they would have gone out on top! and then they just lit it all on fire. honestly the desire to be president feels like a red flag

Every time trump uses the term "Sleepy Joe Biden", the media needs to run with these clips. Not just Colbert, or Oliver or Maddow... ALL THE MEDIA.

Can you imagine how many *truly* small businesses would have survived Covid if we'd had an actual UBI for individuals, and small business? (instead of "loans" that got taken by large companies?)

Universality will haul us out of the fire.

Yup. they do.

Gods, this regime is just so *OBVIOUS*, and the cult just so *OBLIVIOUS*.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't driving the country to ruin.

Nazis started on the disabled and homeless. Sound familiar?

For the first time a U.S. county is making their guaranteed income program permanent.

The Cook County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved $7.5 million to continue its guaranteed income program.

Each month over 3,000 households will get an unconditional $500.

She should have been in jail by judge 3.

"Which means if you measured income inadequacy today the way Orshansky measured it in 1963, the threshold for a family of four wouldn’t be $31,200.

It would be somewhere between $130,000 and $150,000."
