Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
They aren't paying attention. Conservative news and media doesn't tell them these things.
And, Severance enters the chat.

I just want it on record that I'd rather have my taxes go to undocumented people so they don't die over a billionaire being able to throw a swankier orgy at sea or whatever the fuck rich people do with that much money.
We hear he wanted tanks in the streets for his birthday parade
so like:
• a cardboard tank with lovely comments for him
• lots of lovely tank-tops worn in the streets with fun words for him
• a dirty fish tank with one big orange fish swimming in filth
• gas tank
• 'tank'-ing the economy signs

"Activism is the antidote to fear"
~Jamie Raskin
Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit
Say it out loud and say it often:
"This is wrong"
Then,
Insist
Resist
Persist

Pro(tester) Tip:
If you march at a busy intersection, use the crosswalk and erupt in thunderous noise as you cross. Then, let cars go, wait for the next signal to erupt again. Repeat
Blocking traffic gives police an excuse to stop you, _and_ letting cars go gets the word out to more happy drivers!
Right now U.S. Republicans in Congress are jammed up
a) the protests are working to make the most vulnerable nervous (keep calling and protesting)
b) they DO NOT want their constituents to realize they are set to cut $880 B from Medicaid and MORE
c) they are at odds with each other
Push Hard Now
Photo of the old North Church at night in Boston on the 250th anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere displaying "Let the warning ride forth once more: Tyranny is at our door" on it's face by light projection.

Someone said they witnessed a 19 year old Venezuelan that was walking home with friends, who ICE grabbed and apparently realized wasn't their intended target, but they overheard one of the agents say "take him anyway". He didn't have any tattoos.
When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.
Some of those deported didn't have tattoos--they were just brown.
I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report
Andry Hernandez Romero sought shelter in the U.S. because he was persecuted as a gay man, one of the "particular social groups" allowed to claim asylum.
File impeachment articles that are just direct quotes from the Declaration of Independence
Trump is going to ship US citizens to foreign work/torture camps, with no due process, for life. No one is safe in Trump's America, there is no constitution, there are no checks & balances, just the whims of a corrupt madman.
I wish my grandfather were here to give me courage right now... He saw a lot of things in WWII, and he still came out an inspiration to me (and I think many others) on the other side.
I have lived through unstable economic and political times before. Tariffs and isolationism are breeding grounds for fascism. We are at strong risk of repeating history.
Great idea!
I would really hope those brands draw out of that country voluntarily anyway. If they don't... WTF?!
This is all very blatently evil at this point.
If you see “El Salvador” on the package—don’t buy it. Check every label. Let’s send a message. Asking or international supporter to join in also.
Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.
100% projection.
Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now.
Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion.

If the government isn't serving the people, what's it good for?
My hometown paper, The Stamford Advocate, isn’t afraid to report the truth.
Why is WaPo?

It all makes sense once you realize a recession is actually a good thing for the 1%.
