Every American needs to remember that Russia is only able to invade and terrorize Ukraine because, in 1994, the US and UK convinced them to give up their nuclear weapons.

They voiced specific concerns about a Russian invasion.

We promised to protect them.

Trump wants to break our promise.
GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.

“wellness” culture feeds directly into eugenics.

It perpetuates the idea that disability is a moral failing.

That we can “try harder” our way out of it and if we can’t, we didn’t really “want” to get better.

It makes it easier to punish the sick & poor.

Disability is not a moral failing.

the guaranteed provision of a home for everyone is the only solution to mass homelessness, and this is a basic requirement of a functional society
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
