I have worked for several small businesses; I work for one now. If we have to ship UPS or FedEx because the post office no longer exists, we have to change what we charge for shipping to reflect that.
Depending on where you live, something you used to pay $3 to get will now cost us, and therefore YOU, $10-$15 to ship.
This isn’t just death the small businesses, this is damaging for everyone who currently has to order things by mail.
Use THAT when you call your senators. If they don’t support saving the post office, ask them why the hate small businesses and want to see hundreds of thousands of them fail over the next few months.
August 2020 - After attacks by far-right groups supporting the Bolivian coup government, indigenous people in
Warisata, La Paz, set up their own mobile armed militia to defend their anti-government protests and blockades. [video]
August 15 2020 - Neoconfederate racists and far-right militias like the III%’ers had a bad day as their planned rally to “defend” the confederate monument at Stone Mountain Park got cancelled and their flags taken and burned by antifascist counter-protesters.
The right-wingers were outnumbered, outclassed and outgunned by a coalition of antifascists, BLM activists and left-wing militias. In the last gif one of the racists gets his ass beaten after he started pepper-spraying counter-protesters. [video]/[video]
they have been trying, but republicans are blocking any aid from going through the senate. if one roommate is trying to wash the dishes and the other is standing in front of the sink, blocking them from doing anything it’s not both their fault that the dishes aren’t clean.
Funny thing about last time we had a recession and Democrats controlled the executive and legislative branches of government, we had a bailout that was a massive handout to executives while the workers got shit, so it’s not exactly like things were all that different with the dems in charge
Protesting is a FELONY in Tennessee now…Facism at it’s finest (x)
I’m sorry, but people need to know this. This is LITERALLY the most blatant telltale sign of totalitarianism and this needs to be spread like wildfire.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
Y'all, I live here, and this is not a fucking joke.
Peaceful protesters had been at the People’s Plaza/Ida B. Wells Plaza for 61 days. The state and the police repeatedly tried to silence them, strip them of their resources, create and enact laws against them, and demonize them. I’ve stood face to face with the cops at this plaza for hours, and the entire time, everyone was peaceful. I’ve been surrounded by cops in riot gear on all four sides with these protesters, and still, everyone was peaceful. No matter what, they remain peaceful. Yet I’ve seen and read so many stories about how these protesters have been arrested on bullshit, made-up charges and have witnessed them be brutalized over and over again. I’ve seen so many people with chipped teeth, lung problems, scars, gashes, head trauma, bruises, sprains and fractures, concussions, and more all because of these pigs. I’ve read stories from protesters about how their experiences at the Plaza have triggered panic attacks, PTSD, psychosis, dissociation, and more and how some had been forcibly medicated/tranquilized by police without their consent. I’ve seen people get robbed of their personal items by these pigs, one cop going so far as to rob a man of his medications that he needed to live. I’ve seen and read about cops ripping masks off protesters and sexually harassing them. I’ve seen the cops speed down the road and almost hit protesters multiple times. I’ve read stories from protesters about how they’d been detained for hours and hours with several other people and without masks or how they, especially Black female protesters, had been detained in solitary for hours. And most of those people required medical attention, which they didn’t receive. A GIRL WITH ASTHMA ALMOST DIED BECAUSE THE COPS RELEASED A GAS SIMILAR TO TEAR GAS NEXT TO HER CELL AND IGNORED HER CRIES FOR HELP AND RESPONDED BY PUTTING HER IN SOLITARY AND TAUNTING HER INSTEAD OF PROVIDING MEDICAL ATTENTION, FFS!!
Over 200 arrests had been made during this 61-day occupation. The state tried to get a judge to allow 24/7 GPS-monitoring of a lead activist of the movement. Officers have kicked, punched, sexually harassed, dragged, hospitalized, tear-gassed, zip-tied, arrested, taunted, and brutalized protesters during this occupation. Protesters have held countless vigils and peaceful marches and have literally put their blood, sweat, and tears into this cause. All we wanted was for the governor to meet with the people to discuss removing Confederate monuments and addressing police violence, and this is what protesters were met with instead. And now they’ve made it illegal for us to even fight against their brutality and for our rights to freely exist while Black and brown.
This is not okay. This is totally and completely unconstitutional. Do not ignore this. Do not let this slip by. Do not let them win. Please help us fight all of this injustice. Our lives matter. Black lives fucking matter.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
