it is maddening. the french strike, and they literally pull the shirts off of bankers backs when they've been cheated. in America we are cheated out of everything -- healthcare, home, education, career advancement, vacation, retirement & we do nothing.
@JoshuaPotash
money spent on police could be spent on shelters, on food for the hungry, on training for adjunct faculty to teach online, on the mental health services so many people are routinely denied, on the books students need to buy, on the medication we all need.. on anything but this..

Collective punishment is a war crime prohibited by treaty in both international and non-international armed conflicts, more specifically Common Article 33 of the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol.
Ethnic cleansing is a war crime.

who can afford to miss this much work in a city like LA where rents are unaffordable and the unhoused if sitting or standing on public sidewalks in a third of the city will be criminalized, ticketed and potentially jailed??
@ritaresarian
Every 20 years this happens like clockwork. I remember the coders making $90,000 who lost jobs with the crash.
Most public college - 2 -4 year degrees are well worth the investment. Education is a safety net of sorts & helps you lift up your community.

My mother had to wait 5 years on a list to qualify for a low-income apartment. It was not Section 8. Still it saved her life. She had a disability and very limited alimony. Medication alone cost her $500 per month.
A 15-year wait for a rental is deadly.
Help out frontline workers in grocery stores and elsewhere who struggle to pay skyrocketing rent. They would wear masks if they were free, low cost.

people aren't undecided, they are disenfranchised..
meaning they cannot get to the polls or have had their right to vote taken from them..
or have been ignored by neoliberals for so long their teeth are rotting out..

The problem is unscrupulous over-priced college.
Cost of living is the other problem. States should invest in paying students to go to college. $20 -25,000 Pell Grants should be the norm.
@NBCAsianAmerica
affluent/white tourists around the world are typically treated like Gods during any sort of emergency.. they are shielded from the tragedy and rushed to safety.
it's very dispiriting and makes plain whose life is deemed valuable and whose is not.
I wish all the young people I know who are not vaccinated would see how dangerous this is. And yes, at the community college many, many young people are too afraid to get vaccinated.
Many don't have a good relationship with a doctor.
Others listen to Joe Rogan.
29 y.o. Jesus Ceja Ceja from Texas is one of 282 COVID patients in the U.S. that received a lung transplant in 2021. He was unvaccinated.

Her final activist speech, circulating on Twitter, is stunning. It is unthinkable that such beauty and bravery was snuffed out so hideously. This is terrorism of the first order. We need to honor her. We need to keep people safe. The fascists must lose.

many of these faculty are part-time and precarious. they are making powerful sacrifices. these are scarce positions that do not pay.

@reluctantlyjoe
students were testing positive on day one of the UCLA encampment protests and therefore asked others to mask.
enough of my students complain of long covid that we should all take care. youth has been abandoned on so many levels. this is just one more.
For anyone working in mutual aid, this year is a very good one to promote a full-time enrollment at community colleges for anyone who needs support.
CA is awarding qualifying students $8,000 grants. CalFresh & other resources are available for DACA etc.
@SenKamalaHarris
How can we also get the Sandra Bland case reopened? That woman was a beautiful activist who deserves justice, like obviously from the look of things, tens of thousands of others.

African Americans in FL were left alone to protest this shameful act of voter suppression. I will never forget the shock and shame, watching as white US turned their backs. Not once did Gore look as if he wanted to win. He conceded to Bush at every turn, including the debates.
A gifted, hardworking student reached out to let me know he is living in a hotel at the cost of $75 per night. Selling plasma on Sunday to keep going. He has no home, like 1 out of 5 students in CA. Reaching out to see if anyone has a room for rent. He's awesome & I will help.

Isn't that how we started? No one would be given a test unless they had symptoms; so many people missed out on early care. Some died. Those stories from 2020 are etched in my mind. At the time our President denied Covid's very existence.

If we are not careful, we will define ourselves out of much needed social services: a retirement, healthcare, etc. Already "full" Social Security benefits do not begin until 67. Those of us who have been working taxing jobs, commuting etc. need the benefit of slowing down.

brilliant take on "mafia state kleptocracy" that is headed our way
"What’s not complicated is that the big danger isn’t Trump, the man, but Trump *and* the criminal billionaire networks behind him. The latter need to be examined far more than the former."
On Trump and Project 2025:
1) Yes, Trump knows what it is. No, he likely doesn’t care, because policy is a thing other people do while he steals money and ensures impunity for himself and his backers.
2) Trump is not an ideologue. He is a bulldozer used by two GOP-linked networks

UC Irvine just sent all students and faculty a letter in support of international students. they are changing the curriculum smartly to embrace all of our students so they can stay without being unduly harmed..
so cool.. a lot of other universities, colleges should follow suit

The lone Black officer in Capitol Hill seemed to be the only one doing his job, despite being the potential target of Confederate flag wielding white supremacists. It was harrowing watching him try to fend off the neo-Nazis, without any support from his colleagues.

the only reason we are in massive debt (besides giving all our money to cops and the Pentagon) is a lack of taxation.
