"Socialism doesn't work," they say, as they prepare to continue their genocidal economic sanctions and embargoes on the innocent people of Cuba and Venezuela.

"Capitalism definitely works," they say, as they prepare to bail out the unhinged libertarian capitalist government in Argentina.

Deleting Facebook, getting rid of your Ring camera, and unplugging Alexa are three concrete things you can do to break the chain of surveillance which will undoubtedly be used more and more by state apparatus to nab you or your neighbors.

Don't be an unwitting Fed or ICE agent. OpSec is solidarity.

TikTok literally changed my life. Found out I was asd at 40, got diagnosed with several “rare” conditions in the comorbidity cluster that I’d always suspected. Found covid conscious support, recovered from burnout, built liberatory online community, connected with likeminded spiritual folks.

“No country should have the right of veto in the UN.”

“A member of the UN Security Council should lose its voting rights if it violates the UN Charter.”

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
