Tomorrow’s the day! The Economic Blackout is happening, and we’re making our impact felt.

Plan ahead and spread the word 🖤

Sending more folks home with donated air purifiers, thanks to the incredible logistics work of @CleanAirLA!

Below is the @SmartAirFilters Squair, which has a HEPA filter and a carbon filter to maximize its air cleaning capacities. Perfect for a bedroom or small studio.

I interviewed Carol Mayorga who has been working as a housekeeper in Pacific Palisades for 20 years. When the fire swept through, nearly 10 properties she and her husband worked at burned down. Now they have no income. Please read. W/ @LATvives

Not impressed with hotels offering, “deeply discounted” rates to evacuees. Y’all are billion dollar companies, do better.

It’s the being called, “lazy” and “entitled” for me 😞

[thatonemaddy.bsky.social @thatonemaddy]

But when we entered the workforce, we were met with stagnant wages, a skyrocketing cost of living, & overall lower quality of life than any generation that came before us. We were called ‘entitled’ & ‘lazy’, despite often working multiple jobs we were vastly overqualified for. 3/

This whole thread perfectly encapsulates how I feel as a disappointed elder millennial 😢

[thatonemaddy.bsky.social @thatonemaddy]

Watching Gen Z men veer right hits different for Millennials. We lived through Columbine, 9/11, the Iraq War, 2008 crash, 2016 election, covid, abortion bans, & now this. We watched institutions repeatedly fail us while older generations selfishly protected the status quo. 🧵1/

Mr Biden,
I need you to stand up, straighten your back and make some things shake before your departure

The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

I swear to God if one of you say you’re leaving the country…I’m yelling coward.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
