wow - of all the bookstores in the Bay, that would be my last guess for where to find a gem like that.

I feel like, when I read these rants they are accurate for an audience of white people, privilege, & self-interest. And it's reactive against the mess & fall out to come.
But they don't contain the whole reality. Biden's had horrific extractive policies, border policies, & horrendous genocide.

Do you know :
- HOW MANY DAYS YOUR CONSTIUENT has BEEN ON HUNGER STRIKE?
- The # of CALLS, EMAILS, DEMANDS to quit sending weapons using OUR tax $s to fund Israel's genocidal campaign have you ignored.
LISTEN TO US.

For anyone that hasn't heard it yet or doesn't get it yet, DEFUND means moving that budget money to people that actually know how to de-escalate, provide care including mental health crises, are violence interruptors, & r grounded in transformative justice.
FFS how many more murders will it take.

fwiw, we are growing a movement to hold reps supporting illegal use of our tax dollars to fund this ongoing horrific genocide accountable with a class action lawsuit. Here's a little flyer about it:

I meant 50 mil. But really 5 mill is def hording.
comment in response to
post
people saying 5 mil??? whoa - I thought hoarding was anything over maybe 500k.
Most people I know think its anything extra after a living wage and redistribute it.

I know it wasn't for being obstinate and inaccurate about why the station reniged on Mendo for Palestine's sponsorship contract days before their educational and cultural event. They circled the wagons on that one.

ugh - meeting attendiance in order of disdain:
1. BOS
2. KZYX board
I can barely listen to the station anymore - mostly don't. But still needed for emergencies.
What a turnaround from hopeful & excited during your tenure to after.
Switched a monthy donation from kzyx to MEC.

Especially in HC settings. If you are a practioner or technician or a clinician of any kind and you see me in a mask, why are you not putting one on?
Why am I having to ask you to wear a mask. And if you are one of those people and wearing a loose surgical mask under your nose, WHY????????????

Didn't assume pity party - but yeah,sorry i missed the NON grocery iems.
I do like Target b/c they often host POC small businesses. And I do like them better online than in person.
Wayfair is a mixed bag but their support is sometimes good/persoal.
comment in response to
post
same.
sometimes wayfair for household big items but its hit or miss and probably has similar work conditions.
If there any mutual aid groups in your area, you could local groceries onlline and maybe someone cound pick up and deliver.
