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. #ACAB #Flock #Livingwage

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?

Our gerontocracy needs to be dismantled. These older folks should be relaxing at home, not grasping to power till the very end.

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?

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.

"Those who encourage a state of things in which the hope of gain is the principle motive take away from men their obedience, for consent which is its essence is not something which can be sold." #SimoneWeil #Anarchy #Anarchist #Anarchism

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.
