Why the fuck is the salary range for cops in my small town 60-90k when we have so little crime that all they do is loiter at the bagel bakery and then give tickets to said employees of the bakery. God forbid we gave that same salary to the teachers or public health workers.

NEW: A lawsuit alleges Starbucks sources coffee from farms using slavery-like conditions in Brazil. The lawsuit cites 8 victims who say they were trafficked and forced to work at farms that provide so-called “ethically sourced” coffee beans for Starbucks.
Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
So Trump’s alluding to further destabilizing the Middle East, using military force to coerce neighboring states to join the empire, and ProPublica just released a 2 year report on how AP3 and the OathKeepers have friends in every level of government. And what are the dems doing?
@endeavorance.camp I have a game pitch. A low poly PvP game where there is no distinguishing features between enemies and teammates and your only weapon is a shotgun. Its name? Cheney Mania.
Because what the Democratic Party needs is subverting one of the biggest up and coming stars of the party for a 74 year old shoehorned to take her place.

NEW: After reviewing leaked documents, we have found UnitedHealth is strategically limiting access to a treatment for thousands of children with autism across the country in order to cut costs.
Advocates say the company’s strategy may be illegal.

The snitch not receiving the full (if any) of the tip reward is the perfect reminder not to be a class traitor. They do not value you. They will not reward you. They will use you as long as it’s convenient and throw you away when it’s not.
Does anyone else hear that song? That song of angry men?
Last night I heard business bros fantasize about an anti-capitalist revolution. I think the timeline is finally correcting all these years after the tragedy of Harambe.

Medicare Advantage is incredibly expensive for taxpayers while creating more hoops for elderly patients to jump through. It's also boosting margins for the insurance conglomerates administering the plans.
We dug into the history of the program and how it's making health care for the elderly worse.
They didn’t cancel the meeting after. They walked right over where his corpse was without missing a beat. They do not feel empathy for one another. They are not bound by community or familial bonds. They are bound by capital. Their lives are antithetical and alien to humanity.
NYC has a new masked hero and a demon got its wings today. Unfortunately I’m going to need prior approval before I can display any sympathy for him or his family.
Fuck thanksgiving. Fuck the pilgrims. Fuck Pax Americana. All lands are best in native hands. Free the First Nations, Free Palestine, Free the Māori, Free Hawaii, Free the Inuit people. May all empires fall.

You cannot defeat fascism with a strong man leader of your own. The only vaccine to fascism is the abolition of hierarchical systems of power. We as a society must become so alienated by the idea of consolidated power that it is antithetical to our existence.
While the fear we are all feeling in the wake of Trump being elected is valid and real, it is only illuminating a pre-existing fact many Americans have known their entire lives. You cannot rely on institutions to protect you. Your greatest tool of survival is your community.
Say hello to your neighbors. Find people who can relate to your struggles. Offer help to those more vulnerable than you. These actions are as selfish as they are selfless. Resiliency in your community breeds stability in your own life. Mutual aid saves money and offers camaraderie.
