Last week, a woman in my long COVID group needed help to keep her electric on. We weren't able to get it, and to turn it back on, she needs $125. She works from home and is missing out on work right now.

Rent and groceries are too high, and the amount people make is too low.

Talk to your coworkers about how much you all make, talk about the issues you are facing financially, these things are not shameful.

Working class Americans from all backgrounds must stick together.

Sorry for having to be annoying. I have a few hours before I'll have to cancel my trigger point injections bc I can't afford it all. They're tomorrow, I've been too sick to beg. It's little over 150 for pain relief and procedure/copay. 150 or our son on Thursday. Thanks for anything, worrying

America is not feeling the full effect of the shutdown because so many people are working without pay.

While I respect their dedication (or fear of losing their jobs), that needs to stop.

All federal workers should refuse to work without pay. Give Congress 10 days to get its shit together, or

Asexual people are more likely to be raped and inflicted with conversion therapy than other LGBT identities because the general public doesn't want to believe that not everyone has an easy time being attracted to people.

for the first time in eons i just learned about a new conspiracy theory in the IRL meatspace:

lady in the auto service waiting room says “you know all those chinese buying up properties around here? it’s for the water rights. they don’t have enough fresh water so they’re shipping it over there.”

Why am I so down on No Kings?

Think about it like this.

I’ve seen the turn out numbers be around 6 or 7 million.

Imagine if all the white folks gave 5 bucks to a mutual aid fund.

If this happened, the shutdown wouldn’t matter.

But they want us to be impressed with homemade signs.
