“Socialism never took root in the US bc the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires” -John Steinbeck?
It’s paramount. People exiting incarceration need stability when returning and living wages — which we should be a right for everyone — help tremendously. It’s best when these are combined w other wraparound support like housing access, skill building, and community.
@CROPOrg1 People often exit incarceration with little money and resources. Discriminatory employment and housing issues compound their challenges — and why so many find themselves back in incarceration.
@SFGHFoundation @ZSFGCare You said you would pay the artists for their painted hearts over six months ago! Few people—except maybe the Zuckerbergs—can afford to live in the Bay Area! Artists often have it especially hard. The worst part is you keep using their art in your promo materials! The audacity!
@altNOAA@AntiKobalt @xlexious @ElonJet The cars aren’t the issue - it’s the hypocrisy of taking private jets while feigning environmental concern. My understanding is that the S1’s were susceptible to bursting into flames. Either way, Musk is a douche & it’s shocking how many obsequious fanboys he’s amassed.
@AntiKobalt @xlexious @ElonJet The poster is not guilt tripping anyone. They’re pointing out that Musk is a sanctimonious hypocrite. Musk isn’t trying to change the world “for the better”, he’s lining his pockets by tapping into the green zeitgeist to sell his overpriced, self-immolating, death traps.
@AP Appalling propaganda! China’s death total (since the pandemic’s BEGINNING) is just over 4,600. On the deadliest DAY in the US, deaths reached 5K+. Why do politicians & news media collude to encourage Americans to accept COVID deaths as inevitable? #AmericanCarnage#SocialMurder
@Itsjustmescott2 @DrEricDing I got J&J too. I haven’t gotten boosted because I feel like I should just get fully vaccinated again (with Moderna or Pfizer)… it’s really weird that we’re being left out of the convo!
Dear CDC—🇬🇧@UKHSA requires not just 1 test but **2 negative** #COVID19 tests in order to exist isolation before 10 days. But somehow a 5 day exit with 0 negative test is okay in 🇺🇸? American exceptionalism does not apply to a pandemic virus.
p.s. Asymptomatic can still spread!🧵
@agent_of_change And in the USA all we see are horrendous NYT articles on the severity of China’s zero COVID policies & “draconian” lockdown measures. Meanwhile, we can’t even find available & reliable tests in the richest country in history 2 yrs into the pandemic!
