The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Solidarity with the thousands of unionized Starbucks workers who are on strike. Keep up the fight. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/20/s...

RE: My last re-skeet The idea that corporations are protected by free speech is absolute bullshit. Corporations are legal entities, not people. And they're not entitled to buy elections.

“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die” But he thought I did. This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it. I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.

Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.

"Don't comply in advance" is a directive for people with power, for organizations, for the news media. If the fascist are going to repress; make them work for it. It is not a directive for individuals trying to survive. Do what you need to be safe.

JD Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates. He said it was “a massive victory for personal freedom in this country.” So wear a mask because JD doesn’t want you to. Wear a mask to make them harder to ban. Wear a mask as a form of community care, solidarity and resistance.

If you haven't gotten your Tdap (tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis) in the last 10 years, get updated! Pertussis can be deadly for infants but even in adults, it can lead to months of poor sleep from coughing and even broken ribs from the intensity of the cough. Protect yourself and others!

Story time. I bought my first container of face moisturizer within the last year.For most of my life I felt like I'm not supposed to take care of myself because I don't deserve it. That container still sometimes feels like I'm doing too much. Makes me sad that I'm working on it, but I'm still gonna.

This is going to sound more flip than I mean it, but when I was a kid I watched the Blues Brothers running Illinois Nazis off a bridge and the Nazis on Hogan's Heroes being pathetic dimwits every damn day, and I do feel like we need to get back to constant, vicious cultural ridicule of open racists.
