The choice is clear. A #Biden administration would roll back the Trump tax cuts and continue to fight monopolies and concentrated markets. A Trump Administration would allow even more billionaires like Elon Musk to buy up small businesses. Monopolies drive prices up and wages down. And then the pigs wonder why nobody wants to work. https://rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/concentrated-markets-concentrated-wealth/

so am using a cane these days after being unable to walk a few steps w/o fatigue or vertigo. am happy as it's what i need to get better from #cancer.

but the excitement of walking to my new oncologist's office, which is at a subway entrance, was squashed by Hochul deploying armed Nat'l Guards in our subways. that means cops are everywhere in the area.

cops kill the disabled at alarming rates. am now a disabled BIPoC.

am not the enemy, fascists are.

so push Democrats away from fascism.

partisan Democrats really have the gall to tell BIPOC, LGBTQI, disabled people to calm down, that WE are the problem.

you are calling us, the victims of the fascism that is already here, the enemy.

you have the fucking gall because it's easier than doing the work of fighting fascists.

guess what? they won & you let them win.

the elites have so normalized fascists, you look at me, a BIPOC woman, disabled by cancer & COVID, as the enemy and not actual fascists.

so stop attacking us.

The federal courts’ new “judge shopping” rules are a major blow to Republicans

The federal judiciary’s new rules target “judge shopping.” That’s terrible news for Matthew Kacsmaryk and other partisan judges.

Do you remember last October, al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was bombed and Israel said it was a misdirected Hamas rocket because they'd never bomb a hospital, and the Western media lapped it up?

Since then 35 other hospitals in Gaza have been destroyed.
