Why a 19th century concept of “social murder” is very much relevant today

Social murder is a term coined by Friedrich Engels in 1845 in one of his seminal works, The Conditions of the Working Class in England. Engels was Karl Marx’s close friend and collaborator, co-authori...

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Screenshot of text that says: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing

Screenshot of text that says: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

We've been trying to get mom disability for going on 5 years now

What's the point anymore, we really needed it to survive. They denied her food stamps when they saw her selling her own items to survive. South Carolina is the devil.

Worried about losing his job, got in trouble and of course who's the only person around to yell at about anything but what's actually wrong

It's not like I can ever leave. That's the thing about being sick, not having my own income at all

It only really hurts when you help raise your sister's kids just to be treated like a piece of shit bc their mother lies to protect herself no matter who it harms. Having her kids make fun of me while I was sick, cause it's so funny when you're in so much pain you can't breathe or walk. Family 😭

You don't ask to be chronically ill or born into a family that didn't believe you, told the entire area you live in that you were just crazy so that's still the narrative. To have a family that runs their mouth nonstop when they're the ones doing all of those things while I sit at home sick, alone.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Sorry for asking everything is a struggle with me being sick too. If anyone has a few bucks they can spare so we can make it until the next paycheck and get what we need it would be more than appreciated, especially now. Thanks anyways
