it’s so appalling to realize how many people simply don’t care about children or the importance of protecting them. i can’t believe we’re sharing a planet with people like this
Make note of the people in your world not saying anything, not doing anything, intentionally ignoring what’s going on.
We are at the point where silence is teetering on complicity
Since Trump was elected:
Mark Zuckerberg got $25 billion richer
Jeff Bezos got $36 billion richer
Larry Ellison got $78 billion richer
Elon Musk got $187 billion richer
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, food & housing costs soar and AI is killing jobs.
You don’t see neighborhoods like this anymore because most young parents don’t own homes. Less than 5% of mortgage holders are under 30 in major metros, and the average homeowner is over 50.
That’s why most neighborhoods or suburbs feel empty, they’re owned by older people whose kids are grown, while younger families are renting apartments & priced out of the communities.
The media industrial complex would have collapsed on itself like a dying star if a Democratic president held a Roaring 20s themed party at a private golf club while millions of working poor in America were about to lose access to food aid but w/Trump it's fucking crickets.
i don’t give a fuck what kind of food people buy with their food stamps and i don’t give a fuck about a few people taking advantage of a system if it means even 1 person who is hungry gets help to buy food
One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt 25:40). #DilexiTe
Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job
Anyone can become homeless
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.
We must fight for one another
I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them
this makes it sound like there’ll be a shortage of insulin, but it’s literally just that the prices are so high that people won’t be able to afford the shit they need to survive
