Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Tell your U.S. Senators to vote no on the Continuing Resolution

Kayla Gogarty @mmfa.bsky.social: The right-wing noise machine is this enormous, well-oiled media apparatus, a coordinated network of politicians, political figures, think tanks, and different organizations. And what we see is a feedback loop. We see them playing off of each other. #MOMSky

When members of the press and political leaders in either party treat Trump’s imperialist talk as “bonkers” “crazy” or “just talk” you deny that real people live in these places Trump is threatening.
