The data isn’t “troubling” — it’s damning. On nearly two thousand policy fights, the public’s influence rounds to zero. Elites and business groups run the show. Calling this a democracy isn’t optimism; it’s propaganda.

#GTA's fun, but the way it depicts #sexworkers, reflects cultural and economic forces that dehumanize them, while teaching us HOW:

-#Capitalism shapes moral judgements
-#Media influences who's considered "real workers"
-#Policing functions as a tool of social control

#propaganda
