Tory Manifesto pledge. We will make sure that you have no home, no job and no hope #GTTO

I'm not planning to change my Twitter username from "Evan Greer is on Mastodon," which apparently may or may not violate Musk's latest anti-speech policy of banning promotion of alternative social media sites so...

...getting banned on Twitter feels like it's a matter of when not if at this point.

Can folks give this a boost so others here can find me? Time to rebuild!

In 100 years from now, do you think our descendents are going to look back on this period in history and go "WTF"?
Rishi Sunak's promises, just more Tory lies that haven't happened yet #GTTO, #ToryLies

I don’t understand how anyone can look at America, where a broken arm can bankrupt someone and a serious illness can make them lose everything, and not want to defend our health service with every fibre of their being.
Support NHS workers. They’ve saved your life at least once.

Spending a relaxing day reporting #racists on the #birdsite. They still seem to be banning lots of people

If this year taught us anything, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires.
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers.
3) Poverty is a policy choice.
4) Health care is a human right.
5) Strikes work.

I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.

Instead of: no one wants to work anymore. Try: no one wants to be exploited anymore.
