“patriarchal ideology was linked to a conservative class ideology that saw all forms of social equality as a threat to hierarchal control & privilege.”

“racial scientific rhetoric about slavery linked fatness to ‘greedy’ africans. and religious discourse suggested that overeating was ungodly.”

“make no mistake, the privatization of prisons is less about unburdening taxpayers than it is about providing bankrupt communities with sources of income and especially about providing corporations with a captured population available for unpaid labor.”

“when our fears have all been serialized, our creativity censured, our ideas ‘marketplaces,’ our rights sold, our intelligence sloganized, our strength downsized, our privacy auctioned; when the theatricality, the entertainment value, the marketing of life is...”

[Working-class & Houseless Organizing Alliance @GsoWhoa]

We remember Ronald Davis, whose poignant words remind us that no one chooses houselessness.

We do that best by eradicating houselessness instead of attempting to eradicate the houseless.

If this is the “normal” everyone wants to get back to, you can have it. The cynicism of the millionaire class’s low expectations and their embrace of the status quo got us into this mess. We don’t want “purity”; we want to seize the chance to remake the world for the better.

Far more important than the #GeneralElection19: the #Grenfell report is out. The inquiry has found the fire service at fault - an utterly abhorrent charge when one considers that those responsible for the cladding on the building got away. https://t.co/4Moe1oqdG2
