When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.
If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.
If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.
Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.

@GHardstark @KarenKilgariff hi ladies, I just needed you both to know that in my hometown there’s a hotdog places who’s speciality is “hot sauce and mayo”. It’s like a spicy relish- very good. I’ll happily send you some if you’d like.

Below are documentaries I recommend for learning about class in the U.S.:
“Saving Capitalism,” with @RBReich on Netflix
“The Working Poor | The Price of the American Dream,” ENDEVR on YouTube
“The American Middle Class Crisis,” with Noam Chomsky on YouTube

Did you know there are two forms of poverty? Relative and absolute poverty? Relative is based on the economic disparity between the bottom of a society and the rest, while absolute is when one cannot afford their basic needs.
