The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.

I am about to be hit by two abhorrent household repair bills but I do not want donations; if folks could at least spread the word about my writing, whether my books, Love and Quota, or the Korps, it would just make me feel better about going through it

"A mobile, community-led crisis response team based in six communities across British Columbia is showing that police don't have to be involved in mental health emergency calls." "99% of [their] calls were resolved without involving police." #BritishColumbia #Canada #Healthcare #Policing

This is like UBI where it’s proven to be true over and over again but if you say “defund the police” somehow you’re an unrealistic extremist. Maddening.

If you won't argue for the unconditional human rights of the worst person imaginable, then you don't actually believe in the concept.

Progress means that the lives of people you loathe, people who have opposed you every step of the way, will improve. They will not thank you. They will not learn the error of their ways. They will not repent or grovel or beg or plead for forgiveness. Progress means working for that anyway.

was JUST explaining this - do NOT validate the premise, ever. That's the fucking game. When RFK says "these people will never pay taxes" the response isn't "yes they will" it's "who cares, that's a human being, I don’t give a fuck what you say, we do not create metrics for whether someone is human"

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up. I’ll add more as I find them. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

AAAAA WE MADE 50% THANK YOU SO MUCH The move is 8 days away and I'm floored by managing to get even this much help. Thank you, legitimately, for everything y'all have sent in so far. As always, every donation - no matter how big or small - goes towards this whole thing and helps immensely ❤️

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”
