A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

along the lines of the “day without immigrant” strikes… What would life in 2025 be like if we had to go a day without any tools, technology, or media created by women or people of color?

Freezing student loans?! Why in the world, you ask? 1. An educated populace is a threat to fascists. 2. Student loans enable working class people to get an education and strive to reach their full potential.
