“I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.” —Malcolm X

Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate
RESIST.
Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

I appreciate this because it’s also applicable to those of us not pulling 6 fig salaries, who others will sometimes try to shame for shopping 🛒 at the only places we can afford.
As you state, *Boycotting large chains is a privilege*
Same applies to *moving*
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

I'm always so amazed when I hear Americans say "health care is a privilege, not a right." Like how do you reach a point in your life where you think people deserve to die because they can't afford healthcare.
“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole”.

You will never find justice in a world where criminals make the rules.

CDC reports 216 child deaths this flu season—most in 15 years
Measles surpasses 1000 cases—first time in 30 years
USA has the lowest life expectancy & highest infant & maternal mortality of any developed nation on Earth
This is what RFK + the for profit health scam industry has wrought us. Smh
THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.
Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”
Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
Can someone please explain to me why masking is not required in NICUs and PICUs (among other places)? These are very vulnerable patients. And one in 5 children and adolescents with Covid-associated hospitalization are admitted to ICU. We must protect our babies and children!
And this is how we lost so many compassionate healthcare workers. "The horror of the indifference made it impossible to continue"
Right on!
This includes universities currently removing the names and accomplishments of faculty members from their websites because they’re women.

Cory Booker warmly embraced Yoav Gallant after the ICC issued a warrant for Galant's arrest for starving children to death.

Always exciting to see people building collective energy but I hope this doesn’t end with just gathering people up to funnel them back into the arms of the same old warmongering corporate Dems, incremental empty promises and eventually a campaign run on no more than “lesser of two evils.”
Happy #WorldTheatreDay ❤️
Cheers 🍻
Here’s to us!
Notice how this article doesn’t make the worried “moderates” specify what they mean by “tug the party left.” What issues are they worried about, exactly? Civil rights? Womens rights? Economic rights? LGBTQ right? Let’s be clear.
Jeffries and Schumer need to resign. (Whenever Chuck can spare a moment from focusing on his new book sales).
When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.
Reflecting!
“It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time. My uncle’s time. My brother’s and my sister’s time. My nieces’ and my nephews’ time.
How much time do you want? For your progress.”
-James Baldwin
Don’t allow your political party to make empty promises anymore!
We. Owe. Them. Nothing.
Healthcare is a human right, not a favor.

@thehoya Follow BREAKING: Federal immigration agents detained a Georgetown University postdoctoral researcher March 18, accusing him of opposing U.S. foreign policy and seeking to deport him. The researcher, Badar Khan Suri, is in the U.S. legally on a student visa.
This is what all the campus beat downs, police brutality, and unnecessary arrests of the past year have led to: opposing US foreign policy is a crime.
