If you are making plans to buy, travel, or do anything else this holiday season in the same way as you have in previous years, you do not understand the assignment.
The holidays are the beating heart of American capitalism. It's how they get most of the money they get from us. This year, we say no.

Amazon charge up to 40% rent to use their services.
80% of all profits are directly removed from the UK and into tax havens. Depletion of money in the UK economy.
Sell a great invention—they will copy it and sell it for themselves.
They steal & sell PRIVATE data.
This is a PREDATORY COMPANY

Poltical Zionism is a transnational criminal racketeering enterprise to overthrow Western governments and install a corporatist/fascist empire. Very similar to the 1930s Business Plot but on a much grander scale.

A mayor in charge of one of world's largest economies & militaries who at least purports to have human-centered policies is an unqualified win atm.
Do I trust any politician? Absolutely not. Do I think any form of voting is going to bring us liberation? Also no. But let's take the w & keep pushing.

I’ll always be skeptical about any politician being able to stay true to their convictions/promises within a fucked system, but the fact that he won at all is amazing (and not surprising). He elevates POPULAR issues and shows people what’s possible via grassroots campaigning.
So, all the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.
Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

It's great that you exited Spotify. That's a genuine win and a good thing all around.
But that quest for the "good" streaming service it put you on? That's a fool's errand. There are NO good streamers; streaming is simply not an equitable or sustainable model for music under capitalism.
Sorry.
