If we decommodify the necessities of life (food/water, shelter, healthcare, education—all free and free to all), imagine what humanity could accomplish with our work. It’s not about “getting out of” working. We want to put our labor toward what matters.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell…

the thing to understand is that for many people the violence of order maintenance is simply not seen as violence in the first place

@StrikeDebt So many comments here assume people CHOOSE to make monthly payments low enough for interest to accrue, capitalize, and balloon the total debt. In most cases this is all the borrower can afford to pay.

There are millions of people who have made monthly payments on their student loan for years and years and years and have only seen the balance increase. INCREASE.

It's money. It's totally, utterly money. When billionaires want something, it literally doesn't matter how much the rest of us hate it, they're gonna get their way. 5/

@dieworkwear Achieving this is so hard because the rich hoard the majority of wealth and resources

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

keep scrolling

shouldn’t it be “deheaded”?

Thank you!

Sure yea reshoring BUT make it powered by unions and green energy, nationalized or cooperatized, and funded by taxing the rich.

So thrilled to share my work in Protean, one of the very best journals around!!

wow, new bombshell reporting from @lukewgoldstein reveals: - in 2023, Corey O'Connor strongly supported Ed Gainey's legal challenges to UPMC's property tax exemptions. - in 2025, O'Connor's campaign received $25k from the UPMC Board. - he now opposes the legal challenges.

Kidnapping an activist and jailing him in the middle of the night is a brazen act of authoritarianism. Punishing dissent by revoking legal status is a dangerous precedent to set.

Poet Jasper Bernes’s (@outsidadgitator) “After Sean Bonney” pays tribute to the late English poet with a militant howl that demands the realization of communism’s emancipatory promise. proteanmag.com/2025/02/10/aft…

@StoryTom @pghDSA You think? I don’t read it that way (didn’t write it). I agree with it, and I also voted (begrudgingly) for one of the pro-cop, anti-immigration, genocidal capitalists 🤷🏻‍♀️

By the end of today (or whenever they get down counting ballots 🙃) a pro-cop, anti-immigration, genocidal capitalist will have become the President Elect.

The ruling class would have you believe that voting is the only way regular people can act politically. We know voting is only one small act, true change requires political action and solidarity each and every day. Workers deserve more, & we are fighting to get what we deserve!

At least I can be excited to vote for @RepSummerLee today…

Sorry Babs

@__C_M_R__ I definitely do a lot of searching for deals. Comparing prices with friends who live in CA or MI is depressing tho

@PhenomPen It varies widely depending on the type, product and potency. If you shop smart you can find some cheap finds or good deals that aren’t too bad!

For my fellow Pennsylvania medical cannabis card holders, what’s the thing that annoys you most about how the system works? Mine is that you need to get it renewed every year, and the sometimes ludicrously expensive certification costs some doctors charge.
