Happy fourth, where I will be celebrating by hoping for a future where I will have my bodily autonomy back and the rights of others won’t be on the chopping block. #landofinequity
The fact that Sesame Workshop is having to do a full court press fundraising effort because we as a country don’t understand the concept of doing things for the public good combined with David Zaslav being the poster child for why CEOs are worthless is making my blood boil.
Very few school shooters have gotten the death penalty. Yet the U.S. is trying to charge Luigi Mangione so he gets the death penalty for killing one man. You can kill dozens of kids and get a lesser sentence because their lives don’t matter as much as a CEO’s. That’s America.
friendly reminder that the USPS kept running full steam during the pandemic, and became essential for getting medications, supplies, STIMULUS CHECKS, and more to every home in america.
3 people died today in a school shooting in Wisconsin. Nothing will happen as a result of their deaths. 1 rich guy gets killed and the entire country is moving mountains like we’ve never seen before. Fuck, this shit just gets so tiring.
frankly, i'm happy that luigi mangione isn't a communist
i'm happy that he comes from wealth
i'm even happy that he's a conventionally attractive straight white man
because the hate & propaganda that has been built up for when the oppressed fight back... it won't work with him
not to cornplate wicked, but the way elphaba's skin color shifts for a split moment as the light from the pink stained glass neutralizes her green complexion just before she sings about the wizard degreenifying her is such a brilliant detail
so they can give a woman 15 years in prison for WORDS against a corporation but when men stalk and verbally harass and threaten women there’s “nothing they can do about it until he actually attacks you”
To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.
