I just learned about #Woolfenoot and, what can I say? I'm definitely on board with this holiday.

I'm so old I remember that both the US and the UK used to tax very high incomes at 90%. AFTER you made a bunch of money THE REST was taxed a lot. If you make $1 billion you "only" take home $100 million.

How MANY problems do we have now with billionaires screwing up both countries, and the rest of the people struggling?

So don't tell me about solutions until you raise top tax rates back where they should be in a democracy.

The POINT of top tax rates is redistribution.

Today we should also remember those who fought to get medicine for their love ones. At a time when nobody cared about the gays.

Thou shalt not praise Nazis. Thou shalt not have dinner with Nazis.
Thou shalt mock Nazis and anyone who hangs out with them.

The horror of what’s happened to #BrittanyHiggins is why millions of us don’t try to prosecute our rapists.

Yet every time alleged rapists go free, it emboldens violent men to continue to rape as they know they’ll almost certainly get away with it.

Nothing ever fucking changes.

Remembering Keith Haring today. Great artist.

Amazon is about to be publicly shamed for its union busting. About damn time.

A judge ordered Amazon managers at JFK8 to publicly distribute and read out a 30-page ruling detailing worker rights at the facility.

If managers refuse, Amazon could be held in contempt of court.

Happy 1st of December!

REMINDER: "free speech" won't exist in the fascist ethnostate

Show up for your LGBTQ+ neighbors, family, friends, classmates, teachers, co-workers etc. and make the costs of individual and institutional homo/transphobia impossibly high.

I really am tired of the "product of the time" excuse. Whatever marginalization also existed in that time. They were able to see and want and demand their full humanity.
Yet why isn't that the barometer? It's always the bigoted and racist worldview that gets a weighted importance

We'll stand by this statement every time. If a company is offering "military-grade data protection” or “military-grade encryption," just walk on by.

The view from NASA's Artemis mission yesterday is just...words fail me.

HT @JPMajor@twitter.com and the brilliant engineers & scientists who made this happen.

When you hear media blaming the striking rail workers for being the ones that threatened the economy, that's not a neutral reporting. The railroad companies were willing to threaten the economy because they wanted to be able to fire people for calling in sick or going to the doctor. Painting the strikers as the irresponsible ones is propaganda.

One of my key issues is that I believe people need to express what is going on inside to those around them. This is a great big world and not everyone knows what everyone else is going through. They may never imagine what you are going through without you telling them. There are so many things that most people just will never experience. But they do have the capacity to empathise if someone explains it to them.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

I’ve been saying this for years.

Boost and fav if you agree!
