Disabled people are far more likely to be victims of abuse. We are forced into legislated poverty and made to depend on toxic people for our survival. Many “caregivers” will take advantage of the situation, putting us in increasingly dangerous situations. We deserve autonomy.

Dolly Parton represented the best of us. She lived a life full of empathy for others. She never lost touch with her roots and always showed a deep thoughtfulness for the wellbeing of others, especially through her dedication to inspiring a love of reading through her Imagination Library for kids. 😔💔

At last years BIG Conference they shared a draft of the first episode and got community feedback so I’m excited to see the final look! Also this series makes me cry each time. It’s so beautiful how much basic income impacts people!!

Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. We are far more reliant on infrastructure and the supply chain to survive. Natural disasters can and will kill us first. The power outage in Gary, Indiana is impacting people’s access to medicine and oxygen. Check on the disabled.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

For things we all need to have a good well lived life that we depend on, we deserve the dignity in having those, not just “for the needy” which is exactly how the stigma and resentment and patronizing sentiment happens

Retraining as the only path forward for shifting economies does not work. Look where the coding generation is now - theyre some of the first on the chopping block now. People deserve REAL security through this #AI shift. No one deserves to navigate this without UBI

AI is built on EVERYTHING humanity has produced. It’s our collective right to have a share of the wealth and a UBI would help give us security through this next economic shift. No AI Without UBI !

No, it’s not ‘normal’ for humans to be in competition all the time. It’s not normal to work for most of your waking hours of the day. It’s not normal to be stressed 24/7. Stop taking a few hundred years of capitalism and pretending that’s just how being human is. It’s not.

Big Tech AI is stealing from us, building their data centers with our tax dollars, they're raising our utility bills and destroying our land. And they're trying to sell us the biggest scam of snake oil that they can sell our knowledge back to us? We're being scammed so hard and we need a UBI.

Why do we treat the economy like it’s a force of nature that just happens to us? It’s a system we designed. If it’s not working for the majority of people, we shouldn’t be asking how to fix the people—we should be redesigning the system. Any proper redesign needs to include universal basic income.

Today is David Graeber's birthday. He'd have been 65 years old today. His ideas are still here and his message is more important than ever before which must remind us that a better world is possible.
“The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,”

Every person deserves to have the means to be independent and have the autonomy to take care of their own needs. Community and building support for each other is so meaningful, but being at the mercy of others to survive, no one wants if its not a choice. This is why we need UBI.

No one should ever have to deal with the stress of grocery shopping and having to evaluate what’s the lowest per oz cost. I stg it’s one the most punitive feelings when you know how rich other mfers are.

Elon Musk could get a trillion-dollar payout while 42 million Americans watched their turn into SNAP benefits political pawns during the government shutdown. That’s not a system, that’s a moral collapse.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!” Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage. Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive. The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

Many think poverty is an individual failure, but it’s really a societal one. It’s a shared responsibility we keep avoiding The irony is that wealth is treated as individual success, even though it depends on society itself Wealth reveals the nature of our own humanity & #UBI becomes a moral right
