MASS BLACKOUT DAY SEVEN!
Cyber Monday
Yesterday I participated in an online silent auction for a non-profit rabbit rescue and I'm still in the lead on 3 items 🥳
Today I'll patronize my small local coffee shop City Brew, my small local pharmacy Pharm406, and stay the hell away from billionaires.

Yesterday we did visit Blind Cat Chocolate for chocolate bars and fudge for game prizes on Christmas Day.
We also visited our public library to refill on books & manga for my tween.
Today we got local coffee at City Brew and since it's -1F out, we'll stay cozy inside ☺️

Yesterday our cat was due for a booster shot, so I paid our small local vet with my checking account.
Today I'm buying a second-hand automatic cat feeder with cash from a community member across town.

The Mass Blackout is a nationwide economic resistance, coordinated across aligned organizations and grassroots movements as a collective refusal to participate in a system that profits off our pain, exploits our labor, and buys our politicians. Designed to prepare for a general strike.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

Where will the money for public education come from if not the federal government? A raise in your rent/property taxes.
So the money for Education goes to billionaires and we have to pay more for housing to continue the BASIC education of our populus.
Not a good plan.

Republicans are attacking our public education systems. Ask yourself: Are you willing to pay the increase it takes to fund our schools so that Donald Trump and Congress can keep playing games? #mtpol

Pre-ACA, I had a job that had very good benefits, but the pay wasn't competitive. If I wanted to find a better paying position elsewhere, there wouldn't be benefits and my congenital kidney problems wouldn't be covered.
People forget that the ACA allowed for career advancement & entrepreneurship.

"Traditional health insurance" pre-ACA didn't cover pre-ex, had annual/lifetime caps, didn't cover important things like having a baby, led to many declaring bankruptcy when they got sick. Even then, ~50M had no insurance at all because they still couldn't afford it. They clogged ERs to get care.
