We choose mutual aid as a moral and political act - we are caring for our community and knowing we will be cared for in our turn.
The state is going to abandon us but we do not have to abandon ourselves.

In 1990, 943 million people in China lived on less than $3 a day measured in 2021 dollars – 83% of the population, according to the World Bank. By 2019, the number was brought down to zero. In the US more than 4 million Americans live on less than $3 a day, 3x as many as 35 years ago.
China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice
Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system

The government is supposed to investigate CRIMES, not investigate humans and see if they can drum up any crimes
Things that will count as suspicious (and this isn’t really sarcasm, based off “what seems suspicious” guidelines I’ve seen):
Driving in areas w lots of immigrants.
Avoiding such areas.
Driving too fast in such areas.
Or too slow.
Or exactly at the speed limit.
Stopping a lot. Or not enough.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey
