It’s not the unhoused who are ruining neighborhoods. It’s the ones driving up rent, displacing families, and calling it development.

What’s a healthy way you care for yourself that helps you handle stress?

They’ll call you a terrorist sympathizer for saying Palestinians have the right to defend themselves after 76 years of occupation. That’s how they silence support for a free Palestine. Do it anyway.

Equity isn’t reverse racism. White people see it that way because it threatens the privilege they pretend doesn’t exist.

No one chooses poverty. They just aren’t given enough ways out.

Colonization disguised as democracy is still colonization. Israel’s narrative of having a right to defend itself doesn’t absolve its state sponsored terrorism.

Settler colonies like Israel were built through displacement and violence. They don’t have a right to exist. Ever.

You’re not middle class. You’re one emergency away from being unhoused.

No amount of propaganda will clean up genocide.

People who use drugs don’t need to be fixed to be cared for. They deserve to live without judgment, without conditions, and without fear.

Care shouldn’t come with prerequisites.

White America lives in perpetual fear that is unjustified and justified.

People aren’t poor because they’re bad with money. They’re poor because everything costs more than what they’re paid.

Hard work should mean housing security, not still living paycheck to paycheck.

Palestinians deserve to live. Palestine shouldn’t have to be recognized as state by western powers for people to recognize their right to exist.

When we define violence only as physical harm, we overlook how ideologies and institutions not only enable violence but can themselves be violent.

Landlords can increase rent overnight. Tenants can’t increase income overnight. The “fair market” has never been fair.

There is no neutral ground in genocide. Only the side of life, and the side of mass murder.

Being a cop makes you more likely to be an abuser at home. Another reason not to be a cop.
