We rent because, at some point in the past, our ancestors were dispossessed by force and coercion from land that sustained them. Rent is one of the primary levers that keeps us trapped - the system that siphons away what little value we are paid from the labor we're forced to provide.

And because it is a crucial site of our exploitation, like labor, it is a revolutionary lever: If we can stop paying rent (which essentially means, defeat the bourgeois state's violent attempts at eviction, and create a housing system run by the people) this is a major step toward a society and economy run by all of us.

It's not hard to start a tenant's union. Join an existing one, or start meeting with other tenants in your community, learning your rights, and building your strike savings and your membership. Hold trainings and social events. Fight for better laws, to build leverage and energy.

Blessings to all the organizers

Doctors are at a breaking point. Health care giants are pressuring them to prioritize speed over quality care, so they can churn out as much revenue as possible.
Physicians at Allina Health in Minnesota are fighting to change that. They formed the largest doctors' union in the country and just held the state's first ever doctor's picket to end the corporate health care takeover."

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere."

Of course tech is not going to offer a solution, they're too stupid and greedy.
[Stupid may not be the right word. Monomind would be better. Like thinking EV's are it, or Mars. The combination with capitalistic greed makes it real stupid.]
Of course labor unions are not going to offer a solution, they're too conservative.
[In the sense that protecting jobs may not be as important as survival. e.g.: Coal has to go so don't protect the jobs but the miners [re-education for instance]. Don't get me wrong ! Unions are a very important part of the solution as is #Equity is a part of the solution.

And the problem I'm talking about is the #ClimateEmergency.
I see no other problem bigger or more urgent than the survival.

I know it's a slow burning disaster, and you don't see it now [ 😖😖 are you blind ?*] and you don't think it could be solved [ 😩😩I know you got no imagination** ]
There are better solutions to those giant diesel burning calamities used now. But don't think 'electric' or 'A.I.'. What about overhauling your logistics system ?
Robots or A.I. are not a solution to this giant problem. And don't accept the tales 'they' are selling you, it's a scam from an individual to get rich and powerful.
[I know many solutions will have to use a lot of computing power, but don't call that A.I.}

* I guess you don't see hurricanes, wildfires and flooding being more common and picking up in destruction ?
** If you can't even imagine the problem... no wonder you can't imagine the solution. And a lot of creative thinking is

You need fire fighters, right ? Nothing communist about that.
Fire fighters need trucks, right.
Before 2016 most of it was fine, prices reasonable as was the competition.
After the 2008 money collaps [caused by #BigMoney 's own speculative 'mishaps'] manufacturers were struggling.

Now
enter Wall Street and their big equiety money.
Making big profits over your safety and raising your premiums. In a climate that's increasingly prone to burning.

This man has a great [borrowed] analogy on both the Republicans and Democrats on pollishing a turd..
I had to clip this because he went on with explaining the disastrous content of the Big Beautifull Bill. And you should know that already.
The original video contains the clip of #Biden 's strong and beautiful State of the Union discussing Republicans cutting MedicAid and the like.

What now.
In the US they waste GOOD FOOD and somehow blame Trump, the 'Mexicans' and the Canadians.
Not only is this a crime against all poor people,
it is also a crime against the #ClimateEmergency.
In the end profit and capitalism are to blame.
