@worthy_daw@AaronRegunberg For example: freedom from economic exploitation. Freedom from poverty. Freedom from starvation. Freedom from death by preventable disease.
@worthy_daw@AaronRegunberg I was taught your POV growing up. But all our rights require work from someone else, Darrell, that’s why they’re there. Our whole constitution is our commitment to each other as citizens. Besides, you could frame most of these as negative rights, you just wouldn’t like those.
Things I am doing to protect myself as a queer person w/a theoretically functional uterus:
1) downloading all my data & deleting any unnecessary social media accounts, especially here.
2) deleting tracker apps.
3) scrubbing politics from social media attached to my legal name
@Llana@ninaturner Two party systems are always, always going to move steadily right because right wing policies benefit the powers that be. If we are to see any left-wing policies in this country it will be because of a fracturing in the two party system.
I cannot emphasize enough the necessity of focusing our energy and time building a strong mobilized left through community, labor, tenant power.
We have a short window to combat the climate crisis, and I will not spend that time trying tactics that keep failing.
There is no majority for MAGA agenda but Biden/Harris’s Dem Party cannot credibly lead the movement we need to stop it. It’s essential that we build organized political power that can offer a true alternative to this far-right dystopia. You can’t beat the right by shifting right.
@CalebRodden1@HawkInATX@thingskatedid “Conquered” is just another word for armed theft meant to make the victors feel better about what they did. Grow up. It was stolen. The disagreement is what we should do about that.
@Jmichaelnorwood@thingskatedid I assume they chose generators because electricity is useful and a bike shop because bikes are useful and expensive, and the police raided them for similar reasons
@ori_goldberg Israel is toast. The next generation hates them for publicly genociding a population that’s half children; no insistence that they’re “the Jewish state” and so “deserve to exist” is getting past the trauma of watching this happen live in 4k.
@democracyhaydur@CannotFitUserna @IdahoBones If this were remotely true - and it’s not - I’d be thrilled. My tax dollars pay for worse things than housing and feeding asylum seekers for a night.
