They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.

Congress wants you to believe that they can’t survive on $83/hr but that you can survive on $7.25/hr. These people have nothing but contempt for you.

Day laborer organizers in California are lining up at Home Depot to buy a single 17-cent scraper, return it, and repeat the process in an effort to slow sales and protest the store’s cooperation with ICE operations.

Black people. Meaning they’re about to intensify the targeting of black immigrants. Which means even black people who aren’t immigrants will also be caught up in raids. All violent systems in this country lead back to a foundational antiblackness

She and her unborn child were used as medical test subjects. With all these regressive reproductive laws rolling, I’m convinced they wanted to see what would happen to them both.

[Reagan Gomez @ReaganGomez]

I’m seeing that this is irreversible. That the only way the country will get lands like this back is if the corps/countries/individuals who buy it, donate it back. Which will not happen.

This is the largest public lands sell off in modern US history.

‘SINNERS’ has become the highest-grossing live-action original film domestically in the past 15 years.

I don't care if the tech bros think it makes their service better, I want to be able to opt out. I want to be able to use Google search without consuming extra water for an AI summary I didn't ask for.

NEW: Amazon charges 48,000 DC residents in Wards 7 & 8 for full Prime membership while excluding them from Prime delivery benefits.

Amazon failed to inform customers they were excluded.

We are suing Amazon for deceiving DC residents into paying the same price for worse service.

It’s a sick society we live in, where people’s basic necessities is up for debate, depending on what they can offer in exchange for that. Be it labor, or loyalty. As a species, we’ve advanced to the point where no one should starve, be without housing, clean water, or clothes.

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

I don’t need to hear your backstory, or have you reveal deeply personal things, for me to see you as a person who deserves care and consideration. I think every living person on this earth deserves their basic needs taken care of, regardless of what they can provide in exchange.

[AshleyStevens @The_Acumen]

One of my most radical thoughts and ideologies is I don’t need to identify with any group of people to have empathy for them, or see them as valuable. Your value is not tied to how you can benefit me. My empathy for you exists, because you do. You don’t have to earn humanity.
