It feels like today could use some marigolds.

I do not think it is accurate to say that democracy is being eroded all around the world. Erosion happens naturally. Democracy is being sabotaged and attacked all around the world. Don't apologize for the people actively doing that.
I've just signed this petition against the performative cruelty being proposed by our UK government. Taking away the jewellery of asylym seekers is a cruel and demeaning act intended to appeal to the racists who regard them as lesser human beings.

People have a good reason to resist acknowledging the male loneliness crisis. They correctly perceive that women are being blamed and told to fix it.

But the real cause is predatory capitalists who profit on keeping men isolated and online.

Don’t blame women for men’s loneliness. Blame capitalism

RANDOM REMINDER
theft is the #business model of capitalists; because capitalists’ main goal is to produce #poverty.

in a 2014 Economic Policy Institute study of #wageTheft, they found it was 3x the size of all forms of robberies ―in USA―, COMBINED.

and their data mostly excludes high earners, because most labor protection laws focus on hourly, minimum-wage workers.

they estimate wage theft costs USA’s workers $50 billion ANNUALLY ―and this excludes the loss of #wages vs #productivity gap… 🧵

44% of people in the American workforce do not receive a living wage. FORTY-FOUR PERCENT.

That’s not just morally repugnant, that is criminal wage theft.
