After a stressful work day, @occasionalafro.bsky.social and I went to happy hour at Seasons 52 then walked around the mall and checked out the new Uniqlo store there. I finally got some new powder makeup at Sephora today, using my birthday gift card one of my Other Mothers gave me YEARS ago! 💗

I was hoping the Louvre thieves would be hot, but this is ridiculous. He looks like Al.
He's so beautiful, he looks like he's FROM the Louvre. Guess he also stole my breath because I can't breathe. Come on.

Rockstar's pre-GTA 6 move: over 30 employees, union-linked, fired. Take-Two says 'gross misconduct,' but the labor group claims 'ruthless union busting.'

Rockstar Games firing 30-40 workers amid union busting claims? This is a serious blow, especially with their history of crunch. Take-Two calls it 'gross misconduct', but gamers remember the 100-hour workweeks. Worried this impacts not just employees but GTA 6 too. Unacceptable.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Every few years, the US govt shuts down, and this year, the ruling class wanna end programs like SNAP. Millions of working class people; the ones whose labour keep society running, are left to starve and die. And yet, nobody ever asks why the "richest country on Earth" even needs food stamps.

It’s almost like the capitalist ruling class are literally extracting surplus value from the workers. Gosh, how I wished more working class people were class conscious. 😭

Karl Marx referred to this as "surplus value" — the unpaid labour that workers create but never receive the full value for.

A collage of two headline screenshots highlighting the economic inequality during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first headline, from Business Insider by Juliana Kaplan (January 25, 2021), reads:

> “Workers lost $3.7 trillion in earnings during the pandemic. Women and Gen Z saw the biggest losses.”

The second headline, from WION News (January 26, 2021), reads:

> “World’s billionaires get richer by $3.9 trillion during the pandemic.”

Both headlines together illustrate the direct transfer of wealth from workers to the capitalist ruling class — billionaires during the pandemic — showing that what the global working class lost, the ruling capitalist elite gained.

The President just announced he is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out Argentina. That’s outrageous. If he was willing to spend that money in America - to keep American health premiums from skyrocketing, the shutdown would be over tomorrow.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.
