I would like to see more people talk about how jobs treat disabled employees.
I used to prep, wash dishes, and cook at mellow mushroom. I had chronic pain that wasn't NEARLY as bad as it is today, but it was still very debilitating. I told my employer "i cannot stand more than 4 to 6 hours. I CANNOT do shifts longer than this due to my illness." And even though i made my boundaries VERY clear, everyday i worked it was 8 hours at the least and 10 or 12 at the most. I would go up to my manager and say "look i really need to leave, my shift is over, my chronic pain is killing me." And he'd say "we really need to here, you HAVE to push through." And so i did, and after one, ONE month of that job my crps got incredibly worse to the point where i could no longer walk my dog around the block which was .5 miles. I quit, and that was FOUR years ago, and ever since that day I HAVE BEEN BEDRIDDEN AND HAVE TO USE A WHEELCHAIR. It is my biggest regret in life.
My best friend who has seen my whole journey has recently developed undiagnosed chronic pain, and she is in the EXACT same scenario i was 4 years ago. Busting her ass at a pizza place with extreme pain that hurts her so much she tells me "im in so much pain i don't even feel like a person." She doesn't feel LUCID. And her manager and coworkers are saying the same thing "if you don't help us you will let us down, we'll be in the shit."
That job thats hurting you isn't fucking worth it. I promise you no money is worth losing all your physical abilities and never getting them back. Your coworkers and boss do not give a shit about you, so don't you dare suffer for them. They will never understand your struggle and they will never try. They truly think being understaffed is worse than whatever pain you experience. They would rather you permanently damage yourself than inconvenience them. FUCK THEM. DON'T FUCKING DO IT!

Since the Obama administration, the Democratic Leaders have a revolving door of the same type of consultants with the exact type of philosophy of focusing on this mythical demographic, the moderate Republican who is disillusioned with their party. This is entwined with Obama’s idea of bipartisanship and with Clinton’s conservative democratic philosophy. This is the demographic they are chasing.
Yeah.
There is no middle anymore. And Independents span all sorts of spectrums that neither party’s spectrum cannot account for. The Democrats tend to view Independents as the middle and they are sorely mistaken in he they appeal to them. I’m a registered independent and obviously you’d know I’m an anarchist. Being less progressive isn’t going to appeal to me.
Also disillusioned Republicans become Libertarians(Ancaps).
This is the Democratic leadership and the consultant laden cycle that has infested the party as they appealed to the elites of the country as become and has dictated party positions. This is why they have had an adversarial relationship with activist democrats like Rashida Tlalib, Ilhan Omar, and Cori Bush.
Ask any campaign organizer, field or social, about the DCCC and no one has flattering things to say about their tactics or brand, and offshoots of these people bring those bullshit tactics to other organizations focused on elections.

i'm going to be honest it's extremely frustrating seeing liberals blame third party voters, latinos and muslims for trump winning and than see kamala go "well i guess i'll do nothing cause that's a better look than doing something :)"

I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.
check on your Māori friends, e hoa mā. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.

RFK and the Libertarian party combined had more votes than Jill Stein. if third parties didn’t exist, Trump would have won by even more than he already has.

i love how westerners try to present 4b movement as so incredibly influential in korea when in reality no one in korea has even fucking heard about that. it's literally more popular in US than it is in korea. i've recently watched a video made by a youtuber who has lived in korea for way over a decade and she made it because a journalist from our country asked her about this movement after reading about it in the western press and she was completely dumbfounded and had no idea what the fuck that was. none of her friends did either lmao.
this is westerners again trying to construct some narrative and use a foreign country for their own political battles. and now braindead radfems are running with this bullshit and spreading it all over the internet and trying to claim that low birthrates in korea are somehow the result of a movement that pretty much nobody in korea even knows about. it's amazing. how dumb do you have to be. there are myriads of substantial issues that contribute to this and not this made up thing. japan's had extremely low birthrates for a very long time now too.

Were you helping refugees at the border last week by donating to mutual aid groups or doing translation and outreach?
Were you calling for ceasefire and doing what you could to aid Palestinians last week? (Esims for gaza here)
Were you talking to your unhoused neighbors with respect and advocating for them and protesting encampment clearances last week? (There's no link just treat people like people and share cash if you can)
Last week were you participating in community meal shares and free stores?
Were you supporting bail funds and protesting the carceral state and trying to stop executions and humanizing incarcerated people last week? (How to write a letter to an incarcerated person)
Were you working to increase access to abortion medications and birth control and abortions in general last week?
Did you share information about DIY HRT and spend time paying attention to the books your school board was banning and make your lgbtqia friends welcome and included last week?
Were you aware of the groundwork being laid for a 2028 general strike and the ways that you could support one (contributing to strike funds, joining and supporting unions, attempting to unionize your workplace) last week?
Were you helping the people around you, were you caring for your friends, were you making information free, were you picking up trash, were you sharing a meal, were you tracking fascists, were you challenging the wrongs done by your government in the ways available to you last week?
Good. Keep doing that.
A better world is possible. Keep working toward it.

whats going on is that a large middle class was created post-wwii to prevent communism and became accustomed to an unsustainable level of luxury, and is now becoming increasingly disillusioned as it becomes clear that the bubble is bursting

no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.
the way forward is together. we build power from the ground up. in the US and everywhere else in the world.
a better world is possible and we can start building it now, by ourselves. anarchism starts in the now.

…oh. Now you want to hear my plan?
Alright.
If you are working and if your workplace has a union, join it. And once you join, attend those meetings and push left. Get involved. Read underlying print. That Project 2025 shit is going to fuck your shit. The NLRB is about to be ruled unconstitutional and with that, you should return to pre-NRLB times. You may need to resort to very violent and unpleasant tactics.
If you are unemployed, seek out mutual aid. Bd I mean actual mutual aid. Those cop cities that Biden and Harris help erect across from he country are going to be very handy to Trump’s newly motivated police force.
There is no more relying on the democrats. They aren’t a safe haven anymore. Biden has allowed greedflation to go unchecked and that made every non-black person consider that things would be cheaper under Trump. And the democrats will not reconsider things.
Democrats could have packed the court. They could have pursued prosecution for inciting an insurrection. They could not just spat in the face of their base. But they failed. Voting is out the window now. Now you revolt.
It’s time to escalate. Activism is dead. The only way to beat this Fascist wave is through collective action through social revolution.
That’s my general plan. You can figure out the how and the where for yourselves. We are here now.
