Fucking over the international TAs who have come to US universities to teach classes in their native language, which is particularly important for lesser taught (and usually more strategic) languages. They're stopping their pay. Is this what winning feels like?

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

The biggest coup the ruling class - billionaires, the giant corporations, the ones who own the means of production and derive their profit from the undercompensated toil of others - ever effectuated was to make the very people they're exploiting into apologists for their exploitation.

I'm looking for the most ethical way to purchase new CDs (yes, I am a dinosaur and do not care). Is the best way to purchase through websites like portmerch? Is that the most direct way to buy from the musician?

Being hyper informed over the last eight years did nothing to change the election outcome, but it definitely caused me an extreme level of anxiety and distress. I'm weening myself off political news in an attempt to work my way toward some joy. My happiness > my desire to follow the dumpster fire.
