The absolute funniest part of capitalist ideology is that they somehow managed to convince everyone that “freedom” meant like.…. the freedom to choose between 47 kinds of shampoo, and not like.….. the freedom to quit a job you hatė without losing your health insurance.
the fact the US used the full force of the federal government to eliminate the Black Panthers while the KKK is still running around tells you a lot about this country
A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war
The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
You know what actually keeps neighborhoods cooler in the summer? TREES. Literally trees. Stop cutting them down for data centers and then acting shocked when our cities turn into ovens. Give us our damn trees back. We don’t need another data center.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT WE LITERALLY DEPEND ON TREES, CLEAN WATER, HEALTHY SOIL, AND STABLE ECOSYSTEMS TO EXIST. THAT'S NOT AN OPINION, IT IS HOW LIFE WORKS. STOP TREATING OUR FORESTS, RIVERS, OCEANS, AND WILDLIFE LIKE THEY'RE REPLACEABLE
It’s 250 years of freedom for white men only.
It’s 106 years of voting freedom for white women.
It’s 72 years of voting freedom for Asian immigrants.
It’s 61 years of voting freedom for Black people.
It’s 51 years of voting rights for Native Peoples, but we all know that’s a farce when their lands were stripped from them and their ways of life were classified illegal.
It’s 10 years of marriage freedom for queer couples.
It’s 0 years of voting freedom for Puerto Ricans.
I would say happy birthday, America, but unfortunately I love abortions and immigrants and public education and universal healthcare and Black people and the environment and not bombing children with my tax dollars.
