I used to run for Congress, until I took a Long COVID to the 🧠. Long Island Leftist (Green) engineer Cosmere Aware/Willshaper, 🫖 snob COVID Competent Support my Craftavism:
...in imminent danger/ongoing repression for demanding strong action to end their exploitation.
Since when is "liberal" synonymous with right/moral/ethical? In my experience, it's more often an insidious, deceptive, passive variety of evil. It is excessive wringing of hands & fretting over being utterly beyond all reproach no matter the harm to marginalized people, & criticizing the ones...
AND its true purpose was to hamstring the Socialist movement by giving the People just enough for the least-committed half to go back to work. That, plus co-opting most of their leaders & jailing the ones who refused, like Eugene V. Debs.
First they victim-blamed the women who had been 🍇ed/SA'd, & I didn't speak out because I wasn't a woman. Rep. Greg Murphy might as well ask what he was wearing! Yet Khanna STILL rejected a total arms embargo on 🇮🇱, even after experiencing a tiny fraction of the abuse Palestinians suffer daily.
This photo by Cheney Orr of @reuters.com deserves a Pulitzer for capturing the reality of 🇺🇸 today & especially yesterday. That woman must have been terrified! Compare the tepid boilerplate response to "Patriot Front" from SecInt, to 47 attacking "Communists". 🤨 www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...
There are legitimate proposals for studies to actually determine the safety of "low" doses of radiation in the long term, and despite the tiny (vs other nuclear programs) cost, they never receive funding! 🤔 www.aip.org/fyi/nrc-mull...
If you're not requiring masks when you gather in large numbers at close quarters to shout/chant/sing together, you're excluding Disabled people like me (while gambling with your own health) - you're not an Ally to me. Look at the Racism Scale here - unqualified Allyship is a high bar.
While the House can Impeach by simple majority, conviction & removal of a President requires 2/3 of the Senate, and Republicans had enough seats to save him; instead, they cornered Nixon & gave him a choice to maintain the dignity of the Office of the President. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
And yet they assert their own lack of authority to order them to fix those conditions. A heat index of 103 is officially the danger zone for heat stroke, but they're forced to pick cotton until it hits 113. Every detail is more appalling than the last.
Oh look, another cis-het White Man, not a drag queen or other trans person, convicted of sexual abuse of minors. And he was a county-level Republican Party leader. On the plus side, he got a 410 year prison sentence. www.newsweek.com/former-texas...
Make The Dear Leader cry by giving this show more views than his bloodsport birthday party tonight - same time, different channel! #RiseUpSingOut #Freedom250 riseupsingout.com
Well hot damn - stay frosty, friends! We've got a scorcher coming tomorrow. Kinda odd that FRES ends with "Heat stroke is an emergency", but doesn't tell you what heat stroke looks like! The most obvious signs are if someone stops sweating or collapses/passes out, they need a hospital.
Cake or death? Cake AND death! Seriously, though. www.newsday.com/long-island/...
Eugene V. Debs ran for President from a prison cell in 1920 because our government was so afraid of Socialists!
Support the striking LIRR workers! #Solidarity communistsortition.org/local269.html
This guy is pretending that prices can only go down if wages are cut, even though they've been going UP so much faster than pay for the Working Class! Domestic oil companies are celebrating windfall profits as global prices are driven by short supply while... www.newsday.com/business/wal...
I'm bleeding through my IRA with early withdrawals to survive, & I definitely DON'T have "retire at 40" money! Surviving 4 years of Long COVID, after 15 years as an engineer. Just 1 infection wrecked it all; it can happen to you too! My family refuses to help at all. ko-fi.com/lightbringer...
An N95 on your face does a lot more good for the community every day, than the one in a blue moon you find a punchable Nazi. Also, if you're swinging a punch with a bare first, aim for soft parts, not bones like the jaw. Even if you know what you're doing, that's a good chance of breaking your hand.
"Mildly PCR positive" is like saying "a little pregnant"! Given the long incubation period before a PCR test can show positive & not knowing for certain at what point a patient might be contagious (think presymptomatic COVID transmission), only isolating those 2, not quarantining all of them...
The odds of a harmful reaction to the COVID vax are LITERALLY 1 in a million! Anaphylaxis is the stereotypical "severe allergic reaction" where your throat closes up & you need epinephrine immediately, so if you can walk out of the building after the shot, you're clear.
All those prejudices are a spectrum, not a binary. The systemic victims of that prejudice judge where you are on the spectrum based on your actions; declaring yourself exempt demonstrates the privilege of being ignorant of how this really works, a "performative ally" at best. Feeling entitled...
Also, if the flyer doesn't say, "Respirators Required & Provided", you're telling Disabled people that your own convenience & preferences matter more than our health & safety; IOW, we're unwanted & unwelcome in your organization. #CovidIsntOver #CovidIsAirborne #MaskUp AltText added.
Because Dems are villains too, they just TRY to hide that fact. Unless they're overtly, explicitly anti-capitalist, every politician is or wants to be fucking us.
Now I'm curious, how did I end up on a list called "Very Naughty People"? They blocked me, so I me tell if they're a RWNJ & I should be flattered, or what exactly ticked them off so much? bsky.app/profile/did:...
