Can you spread the word about weaintbuyingit.com? This is one of the easiest and safest ways possible to fight back against the current administration. If you've been saying there's nothing you can do - you're wrong! All you have to do is not buy from Amazon, Home Depot, or Target for five days.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

It’s wild how casually we say “42 million people are on SNAP” like that’s just a normal statistic.
That’s 12% of the entire country—in the richest nation on earth—relying on government help just to eat.
That shouldn’t be a data point we shrug off.
That’s a national emergency.

I love people who know how to get stains out of clothes. Not dry cleaners, that’s their job, I mean the woman who tears across the street and kicks the door in to tell you that you need to soak an ink stain with hand sanitiser before washing it on a low heat. Those people have seen some shit.

Woke up early and walked right into a pile of cat sick. Jumped out and into another pile. Scarier at 6 am in the dark than any horror movie I watched yesterday.
