The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

U.S. media has an unrelenting obsession with hyper-mythologizing lucky, unremarkable rich people

The editor in me appreciates your detail and also is just like: Can't we just say, "This is crap, don't buy it!" ...

you are correct of course.

ECONOMIC JUSTICE AND MENTAL HEALTH

Shawn Fain has done more for mental wellbeing in the US than any of us who think we are working in mental health specifically.

Freedom Writers Collaborative @fwcollaborative.bsky.social · 4d

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain's strength & bargaining style contributed to UAW's 2023 strike, which resulted in wage increases, favorable cost of living adjustments & elimination of the disadvantageous tiered wage system.
Support unions!

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremists

Let's be clear what this image represents.

Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders.

THAT is the reference here.

It was either the drugs or some kind of a mitochondria defect. I’m pretty sure.

mamdani had his fourth meeting with jeffries, and jeffries continues to withhold an endorsement in a race against a corrupt cop, a fascist, and a sex criminal who intentionally handed the state senate to republicans and gerrymandered against the democrats.

The New Republic @newrepublic.com · Jul 17

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Would be awesome if they would, in that case, though I suspect it's not likely.

Like the tow truck operators in LA who have apparently been towing ICE vehicles illegally parked in the middle of operations (I guess the tows know when it's ok and not.)

Does this give local police the right to pull them over and then have the vehicle towed?

They had a choice...and they chose evil.

ICE AGENTS DON’T HAVE TO DO
THAT JOB, THEY CHOOSE TO.
WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD
CHOOSE TO DESTROY THE LIVES
OF SO MANY?

CHOOSE TO RIP FAMILIES APART?
WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD
CHOOSE TO INFLICT SUCH FEAR

WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

I’ve seen lots of nonsense since Mamdani’s primary victory but the most irritating thread is people claiming they will leave NY if he is mayor. First of all,
Go! It’s fine. It’s FINE. Go swelter in FL or wherever. No one cares. And secondly shut up. You’re lying. You aren’t going anywhere.

I woke up with one of the most recent and pretty sweet Harry Styles songs in my head. Though it was quickly replaced by Joey Kline's "Strung" as performed by The Plaintiffs, which has a key horn/organ line in the same family as the Styles song.
