This holiday you can fund Jeff Bezos's next set of pec implants. Or you can fund the people disrupting the politicians he owns. Your call.
Fuck Black Friday
Giving Tuesday was created to fight consumerism. Then consumerism swallowed it whole. Let's take it back.

Just turn to the person next to you and ask “Have you had enough of this crap?”
They’ll say “Hell yes!”
Then you ask “Are you ready for mass action?” They’re very likely to say
“Hell yes!” Then you say
“Join the #GeneralStrike mass action to turn this juggernaut of bigotry and hate.”

Wake up! ⏰️
Global Sea Surface Temperatures are likely even higher than the Eemian warm period, 125,000 years ago, when global sea levels were 5-10 meters higher than today.
October 2025 Sea Surface Temperatures still being above pre-2023 records is another indication of higher climate sensitivity👇

We are in the throws of a battle over who is going to survive the future.
A future marked by scarcity and disaster.
A future these people are accelerating.
That is what is driving the attacks on civil rights and basic equality.
Supremacist beliefs are the tool needed to justify human culling.
