What's wrong?
The American public transportation system is actively lobbied against people in the lower classes of society, to the point where the government refuses to install trains because of the insistence upon cars. If we did install trains, and they became the main form of transport, it would save much more room for housing and infrastructure, and would become much more eco friendly as well. Furthermore, it would nigh on eradicate traffic, as there would be dozens of people per train car, as opposed to the current one or two people per regular car. It would save more space, time, and money, but we keep the current system of car centric society in place in order for CEOs who run car companies to stay in the 1 percent.
I hope these people choke on their fucking pastries
Israeli settlers are not just complicit. They are directly participating in the genocide.
But please tell us again how October 7th was not a justified act of resistance against genocidal colonizers who hide behind the "civilian" facade. Tell us how peaceful coexistence is possible with such gleefully evil monsters.

This fundraiser is urgently in need of a boost! Folks, Mahmoud recently contacted me to share his story -> read it here in his own words:
I am Mahmoud Al-Sharif, married and have 3 children, and my wife is about to give birth now with my fourth child. We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand, and my other eye was damaged.
To date, they have been only able to raise $1,492ย USD of the $60,000 they need to cross the border into Egypt and escape the ravages of genocide. Here, Mahmoud hopes that he might get medical treatment for his eye, and that his wife will be able to give birth in a place of safety.
It is so important to keep sharing their story -> you can follow this family at @mahmoud-sharif. I encourage you to read and reblog their posts, and of course, donate if you are able to do so ๐

recently was informed that a former classmate and friend of mine believes that i didnโt earn my internship that im currently at through meritโฆ i could speculate as to how exactly he thinks i got it, but i do know that he thinks i took advantage of something (?) to get it and didnt earn it through my work. so thatโs really cool. good to know misogyny is alive and well in my government as well as my social circleโฆ
do i have to be ugly to be allowed success? if im pretty and unsuccessful am i a bimbo? if iโm the wrong type of pretty and successful am i a manipulator? if im ugly and unsuccessful am i worthless? do women have to be the right amount of attractive and the right amount of successful to be deserving of respect? hmmmmmmmmm
