Mom, small business owner, book nerd, wannabe general strike organizer. Hobbies: gardening, games, cheerful defiance in the face of overwhelming odds. The *entire world* runs on the unpaid labor of women. When we strike, it all grinds to a complete halt.

My whole point: ppl "defining" words on social media with their own personal spin is Not Helpful. Par example: At No Kings, we saw ppl w "No Kings" signs harass others w a "Rule of Law" sign. Upon inquiry, the harassers replied in all sincerity that as communists they were against law enforcement.

It's true - what I need and what my family needs is for the Trump admin and MAGA to pack up all their crap and push off to Mars w Musk, Bezos, the Koch brothers, and Ghislaine Maxwell. I'm sure they'll do great. Oh and ffs do take Zuck too.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

If Kamala Harris were President today Sarah Beckstrom would still be alive and Andrew Wolfe would not be in a Washington DC hospital ICU fighting for his life.

I won’t be spending a dime at Target, Home Depot or Amazon this week.

Target is a no-go zone for me. I fully received the message when they told me my money wasn’t shit to them.

Home Depot is DEAD to me too. Sicking ICE on peaceful productive workers turns my stomach.

And Amazon. Well

Solidarity to our striking baristas in Atlanta, GA! We're 15 days into our national ULP strike 💪

Baristas are on strike in over 65 cities, demanding: higher pay, better hours, & an end to union busting. Until Starbucks brings us NEW proposals, you’ll see us on the picket line. #NoContractNoCoffee

How To Survive Thanksgiving
w ppl who don't share your politics * values * goals

You are in charge of you.

You can't directly change others.

And
- If you express your emotions in new ways
- They must respond, often by escalating... at first

Stay strong! Here's how.

Your kids don't need more stuff from Amazon.

They need reassurance their parents are confident, will fight for them, and know what to do.

Luckily…. you are! you will!
and you do!
