If we had a sufficient UBI, every individual would have complete autonomy over their time and we'd be able to rest as much as we needed when we get sick.

The Twitter algorithm is set up to increase adrenaline and create conflict and arguments. Look at you “for you” feed. Then look at your “following” feed. It’s very clever. Skip the “for you” and read intelligent commentary of people you have chosen to listen to.

When we finally have UBI, that will be a new era of American capitalism, one where every individual has a choice about selling their time or labor.
A new era of capitalism where everyone can compete, and nobody is struggling to meet their basic physiological & survival needs.

The right wing is conducting a well-planned assault on public education, with teachers and librarians cast as villains. It’s time for all decent Americans to fight back.

The plan to use the CRT hoax as a tool to dismantle the public school system was formulated well in advance, was extremely cynical, and its architects have been brought into FL by Desantis to implement it. The plan:

The American flag 🇺🇸 is a way more dangerous symbol than an AR-15 pendant.
Capitalism saw Black people as capital, not human. Never forget.

“People should be able to pay their bills for their basic needs.”
Stop framing everything as job-centric.
We need UBI to end the Rat Race that’s killing us and our planet.

Dear All People, If you see a cop talking to any African American person, I KNOW YOU BETTER STOP WALKING. You better stay right there till that cop gets back in their car and drives away. Let them know WE ARE WATCHING THEM and they are not ALONE. This is the LEAST we can do.

We need police officers, but we don't need dangerous out of control officers patrolling the streets.
If victim's settlement $$ came out of police pensions instead of taxpayer's dollars, I bet police violence would end overnight.

Reminder that before Atlanta councilmembers voted to approve Cop City, they listened to 17 hours of public comment over TWO DAYS from Atlanta residents that OVERWHELMINGLY opposed the project.

BREAKING: The mother of the first climate activist killed by US police says her son actually was murdered in cold blood. Georgia police have produced zero evidence to justify their self-defense claim.

people in atlanta did literally everything in their power to stop cop city the "right" way. countless hours spent canvassing, testifying at public meetings, calling in to public comment, liaising w elected officials, sending open records requests, etc. they were summarily ignored

I'm not sure people know just how bad the "cop city" project in Atlanta would be. They want a whole mock city to practice police repression.

McCarthy’s House GOP going after the IRS first - not wokeism or the border - says so much about the ‘working class’ priorities of trumpism. It’s hypocrisy when the donor class comes calling and insists it doesn’t want to be audited. This isn’t draining the swamp; it is the swamp.

If a Black, Democratic President male or female, stole 29 boxes of Top Secret and Classified Documents and lied about it to the FBI, they would have been locked up immediately.

Republicans are cheering and patting themselves on the back for shutting the House of Representatives down for the night because they still can’t elect a Speaker of the House after six votes.

The Earthward-facing half of the Sun was only spotless for 1 day in 2022... the lowest number since 2015. Expect lots more solar activity and aurorae in 2023, as we head towards the max. for Solar Cycle No. 25 in 2024-2025. Here's a busy Sol for the last day of 2022:

Since the unelected #SCOTUS ruled that corporations are people, which really sanctioned legalized bribery in the form of unlimited dark money masquerading as campaign contributions, we have zero campaign finance laws. We must end citizens united. #CitizensUnited is killing us.

Thinking about how the protesters trying to stop the city of Atlanta from destroying a beautiful forest and building a police megapode on top of it have been charged with domestic terrorism, while Atlanta police like the cops who murdered Rayshard Brooks get charged with nothing.

Elon Musk’s twitter 2.0 just told me that I had to remove this tweet so I could keep using my account. I fail to see how it’s any worse than anything anyone else ever said about Kyle Rittenhouse the murderer. “Free speech” - but only for the Nazis.
