Donât confuse my hatred of the hyperwealthy for jealousy over what they have. I donât want a six figure sports car, or a 40 room mansion, or a gold leaf truffle wagyu steak dinner. I want redistribution of wealth that allows for infrastructural support of all citizensâ basic survival needs.
these ones
oh we can get even more specific than just a list of billionaires:
here are all of the scum who control oil, coal, and natural gas
here are the ones who run the factories
and here are the ones who extract the raw resources that the others need to make it all work
EXCLUSIVE: Staff have so little time for food or toilet stops they snatch hurried meals on the run and urinate into plastic bottles they keep in their vans
Jeff Bezos is sitting on $97 billion because of stuff like this
Amazon made $47B in gross profits in 2016. They have 540,000 employees.Â
If they gave every employee a $5/hr wage increase and increased their workforce by 10% to reduce time pressures on individual workers, it would cost them between $6B and $9B per year (assuming 40 to 60 hr average work week), still leaving about $40B in gross profits. Thatâs still a ridiculously huge amount of money being made.
But capitalists always want to squeeze out ever more profits and this is always done by exploiting workers.
This is slavery.
Are you fucking kidding me? I need to know this is not true⌠cause if it is, this makes me sick to my stomach twice over
Itâs different than what the tweets suggest, the women volunteer for it so no one is being forced, and while they wonât get a job firefighting they are still getting experience in forestry which might help out of jail. Please donât mistake my clarifications as condonement of what is happening because California is super shitty they even said that they count on and require this labor so that means that they need people in jail working for shit pay to make their government run
What you really gotta consider though is, in what context are these women volunteering? In a prison system where pads are an unobtainable luxury, where families literally go in debt to make phone calls to inmates, where food is often expired and barely edible (if edible at all) where prison workers have a shocking amount of control over these womenâs lives.
Itâs the kind of situation where even asking is coercive, because these women have no power and no other optionsâand turning down such a work assignment just isnât a choice many can make, even before you consider that saying no to a pushed job assignment is likely to get them punished.
And you really donât get any kind of reward for job experience in prison tbh. Because the fact that itâs in prison causes it to be seen as unskilled labor no matter how highly skilled it is, and is overshadowed by the fact that most places wonât hire felons, and the chance of getting any kind of certification to prove you have a highly specialized skill is nill to none.
And then you add in the fact that prisons are a for-profit system where theyâll literally have contracts with companies where they promise they wonât have more than a certain number of cells empty at any one time⌠if anything, itâs worse than the tweets make it out to be. You know what I mean?

Controversial medical procedure to limit growth of severely disabled children is being increasingly used, Guardian learns
The problem with this is that these kids are people with rights, not dolls to be customized or mutilated at an ownerâs will. State legislatures and medical boards need to deal with this and be sure it never happens again.
I followed a link to âEricaâs Storyâ, and this is one of the most horrific fucking things I have ever read.
Asked why she chose to adopt Erica, out of the scores of other children she has cared for, EM said: âMaybe it was the whole dependence thing I thrive on, because she was always going to need me.The satisfaction of being able to make her happy. It wasnât hard to love her like our own because we loved many babies like our own. We werenât thinking down the road.â
Bold is mine, because I donât think itâs a coincidence that someone who âthrives on dependenceâ (yikes) would volunteer someone in their care for a completely untested*Â treatment to keep them permanently a child?
* yeah I know, like ten kids have been subjected to this, but there is no way to know the long-term repercussions.
Whenever this topic comes up I like to link this article because it was written by a lady who was on the âseverely disabled personâ end of the experience rather than the caregiver end.
Facebook ads can apparently contain transphobic propaganda now, yikes
A mass killerâs biography usually helps explain his actions, offering hope that the next shooter can somehow be stopped. But so far, the man behind the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history is too much of an enigma to provide even that coldest of comforts.
I read this article and I must say⌠for people trying to paint a picture, they are trying their hardest to not talk about the obvious things.
It was pre-meditated attack by a White man who had the ability to buy these guns legally.Â
And the guns themselves were not designed for personal protection, but to kill a massive amount of people, or at the very least, waste a lot of bullets.Â
What patterns are you hoping to find other than another privileged White man who wanted to cause destruction? Who was able to stroll into a hotel and managed to carry a LOAD of weapons with NO questions asked?
There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. The problem is, weâre asking the wrong questions. Weâre looking for that âmagic bulletâ (no pun intended) to stop the ânext shooterâ, but in reality, weâre doing everything we can to dance around the real problem⌠making sure that regular citizens do not get their hands on a weapon that was meant for a war zone in the first place!
And letâs not say âbut if we tighten up the gun laws, criminals will be able to get the guns anywayâ⌠THIS MAN WAS NOT A CAREER CRIMINAL!
There are so many ways we can have this conversation, but if weâre not willing to point out the obvious things, itâs a waste of time.
My disdain for cops is institutional, not individual. Just because you may have a positive personal relationship with someone who is a cop doesnât change the fact that the law enforcement system in this country is rooted in white supremacy and is used to repress and control the working class while protecting the elite.
All cops have signed up to enforce a system which is oppressing marginalized people in this country on a daily basis. Your personal relationship with an agent of oppression does not change this fact.
They are now teaching an adult class.
Last week in Tallahassee, Florida, Chloe Bressack was transferred from their role as a fifth-grade science teacher after asking students and parents to use gender-neutral pronouns for them.Â
Bressack wrote a letter to the class and parents expressing that they use they/them/their pronouns and the honorific Mx. instead of Mr. or Ms. A handful of parents reportedly transferred their students out of the class, and then a parent shared the letter on Facebook asking for reactions from other parents.Â
Bressack has now been transferred to teach in an adult education program.
In a statement announcing the transfer, school officials said the district has a âresponsibility to provide a productive educational environment free of distractions for our students, teachers, and staff.â
Superintendent Rocky Hanna said in the statement that he wouldnât âallow teachers in our school system to influence our children negatively,â adding that in this situation, âI do not believe this is the case.â He also said that Mx. Bressack agreed to the transfer. âGiven the complexity of this issue, we both agreed a different environment would be best for Teacher Bressackâs educational career and for the young students at Canopy Oaks,â he said.
Following the controversy, Mx. Bressack said in a statement that they work together with their students to âcreate a positive environment of respect and understanding.â âI understand that students will not always address me in the way I prefer, and that is okay,â they said. âWe keep moving with a big smile and continue on with our learning. In our classroom, our learning and our well-being is the priority.â
This excuse is lazy. Gender is not a distraction. Pronouns are not that difficult. And teaching kids about all the different ways to be yourself is a good thing.
I hope Chloe can continue to have a fulfilling teaching career and make a difference in studentsâ lives, despite this schoolâs ignorant decision. And I hope any trans or nonbinary students who happened to be in their class have other affirming role models to look to in Chloeâs absence.Â

BREAKING:Â Trump bans transgender individuals from serving in the military
Trump announced Wednesday he is banning transgender individuals from serving in the military âin any capacityâ â a surprise announcement that is sure to draw condemnation from LGBTQ groups.
âAfter consultation with my generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. military,â Trump tweeted shortly after 9 a.m. This is a developing story (7/26/17 9:15 AM)

Sorry for the long post, but Republicans are seriously trying to say that itâs not âcivilâ to point out the fact that their healthcare bill will cause millions of people to lose their insurance, which will cause thousands of preventable deaths.
Talk about it. Make noise about it. Tell the truth about what itâs going to do.
Help stop this bill:
trumpcareten.org
5calls.org
indivisibleguide.com/stop-trumpcare/
For the love of Everything please please call your reps tomorrow
PLEASE
PEOPLE WILL DIE IF WE DONT FIGHT THIS
ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN REPS TELL THEM THEY WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS IF THEY VOTE FOR IT (and then vote them out of office)
looks like weâre going strong on thisâŚ..keep it up guys. thereâs a lot of nos on the board
To be clear, only Dean Heller (R-NV) and Susan Collins (R-ME) have said that they will oppose the bill in its current form (which means we should keep track of potential changes to sway their votes). This leaves Shelley Moore Capito, Rob Portman, Jeff Flake, and Lisa Murkowski as the deciding vote. We need at least 3 Republicans to oppose
Bigotry won on a technicality.
This week, an appeals court decided to uphold a law that specifically protects homophobia and transphobia in Mississippi. Really.Â
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit lifted an injunction on HB1523, a law that provides extra protection to those who discriminate against LGBTQ people based on three specific religious beliefs: opposing marriage equality, opposing sex outside of monogamous man-woman marriages, and opposing the legitimacy of transgender identities.Â
Mississippi is already one of the states that lacks protections for LGBTQ people. Now, it goes the extra mile by not just broadly protecting religious discrimination, but specifically protecting religious homophobia and transphobia.
In a unanimous opinion issued Thursday, a three-judge panel determined that the plaintiffs challenging the law did not have proper standing to bring their complaint against the law. âStanding is not available to just any resident of a jurisdiction to challenge a government message without a corresponding action about a particular belief outside the context of a religious display or exercise,â the Court explained. The plaintiffsâââseveral Mississippi residents, a church, and an advocacy organizationâââdo not hold the beliefs outlined for special protection, but according to the Court, that doesnât mean they are injured by the law.
The ruling overturns a lower courtâs ruling from last summer that put the law on hold with an injunction. U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves had concluded that by endorsing and elevating one set of religious beliefs, the law conveyed the stateâs âdisapproval and diminutionâ of all other religious beliefs. âIf three specific beliefs are âprotected by this act,â it follows that every other religious belief a citizen holds is not protected by the act,â he wrote. âChristian Mississippians with religious beliefs contrary to [HB 1523] become second-class Christians.â
The appeals court didnât weigh in on the merits and left the door open for future challenges. âWe do not foreclose the possibility that a future plaintiff may be able to show clear injury-in-fact,â the decision explained, âbut the federal courts must withhold judgment unless and until that plaintiff comes forward.â Because the law privileges one set of beliefs but doesnât explicitly punish the othersâââand because there are no state or local laws protecting against anti-LGBTQ discriminationâââfiguring out how a plaintiff could actually demonstrate injury by the law could be quite a challenge.
Even though itâs possible that another case will come up challenging the law, it is now enforceable. Mississippi friends: I am so sorry, and I donât know what to tell you or how to make this right, but I am with you.Â
Iâm sorry for blaming conservatives for the obvious character flaws of the representatives they elect who have been getting more hateful, less rational, and more willing to destroy our country for short-term political gain since 1964, a trend that has culminated in the presidency of Donald Trump, who proudly and unashamedly embodies every trait about America that even a majority of Americans hate. I am guilty of the literary technique of hyperbole, but such is the risk of narration, and my existential loathing of the inherent selfishness that contemporary conservatism has adopted with bullshit and pedantic ideological delusions of dystopian freedom can take no more false equivalencies. Conservatism in America is a fucking scam, and our political Right is incapable of reversing our conspicuous national suicide because contemporary conservatives are either too exploitative of capitalistic inequalities and social privileges, or too fucking stupid to realize theyâre being conned into absurd identity political positions on nonpartisan issues such as: The obvious and already destructive reality of climate change, poor childrenâs school lunches, not bombing countries Americans canât locate on a map, disaster relief assistance, paying our national debt to avoid defaulting, evolution, our nationâs existential ideals of diversity and tolerance, and even the most basic of government responsibilities: not shutting down the government.

Six top experts explain why they have resigned from Trumpâs advisory panel on HIV.
In a joint letter, six members of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) have publicly resigned because of Trumpâs utter disregard for science and apathy about the field of HIV/AIDS.
Scott A. Schoettes, Lucy Bradley-Springer, Gina Brown, Ulysses W. Burley III, Michelle Ogle, and Grissel Granados said that theyâre resigning because the president âsimply does not careâ about their work or about the global fight against HIV/AIDS. Their letter is devastating to read. Excerpts:
The Trump Administration has no strategy to address the on-going HIV/AIDS epidemic, seeks zero input from experts to formulate HIV policy, andâmost concerningâpushes legislation that will harm people living with HIV and halt or reverse important gains made in the fight against this disease. [âŚ]
Signs of President Trumpâs lack of understanding and concern regarding this important public health issue were apparent when he was a candidate. While Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders both met with HIV advocates during the primaries, candidate Trump refused. Whatever the politics of that decision, Mr. Trump missed an opportunity to learnâfrom the expertsâabout the contours of todayâs epidemic and the most pressing issues currently affecting people living with HIV.Â
In keeping with candidate Trumpâs lack of regard for this community, President Trump took down the Office of National AIDS Policy website the day he took office and there has been no replacement for this website 132 days into his administration. [âŚ]
And we know who the biggest losers will be if states are given the option of eliminating essential health benefits or allowing insurers to charge people with HIV substantially more than others.
It will be peopleâmany of them people of colorâacross the South and in rural and underserved areas across the country, the regions and communities now at the epicenter of the U.S. HIV/AIDS epidemic.
It will be young gay and bisexual men; it will be women of color; it will be transgender women; it will be low-income people. Â
It will be people who become newly infected in an uncontrolled epidemic, new cases that could be prevented by appropriate care for those already living with the disease. [âŚ]
We hope the members of Congress who have the power to affect healthcare reform will engage with us and other advocates in a way that the Trump Administration apparently will not.
Fucking hell. This is where we are. This is our new reality.Â
