  3. People are tired of councils run for profit, not for the public. Corruption, huge salaries for officials, and deals with private firms drain community wealth. Local government must serve people, not corporate greed. Accountability must return.

  5. Absolutely unacceptable. It’s our job to protect each other’s health and safety and our environment and the earth. It’s very upsetting to see that these agencies are being manipulated by unprofessional and lunatic type people. #PeopleOverProfit #EPA #protecthealth #protectearth #healearth 🌎

  6. Another @news.com.au tearjerker: a 'huge hit' to property investors if we dare touch their sacred 50% capital gains tax discount. Poor dears—nurses, teachers, the lot—might lose their speculative windfall!
    Meanwhile, property speculation fueled by these very tax rorts has supercharged prices, locked out first-home buyers, driven rents through the roof, and left thousands homeless or destitute on our streets. Over 120k without a home, millions at risk from one rent hike or job loss, while investors hoard for tax-subsidised gains.
    Priorities, eh Rupert? Tax breaks for the wealthy over roofs for the vulnerable. Time to end the rort and fund real housing.

  7. Every TikTok "alternative" is just another VC-funded data harvesting machine cosplaying as your friend.

    Why is joinloops.org the only real open source option?

    Because surveillance capitalism pays better than freedom.

    Judge platforms by their code, not their marketing.

    If it's not open source, you're not the user, you're the product being sold.

  9. This happened here last Friday:

    "...The Board of Aldermen approved an ethical investment resolution—“Ensuring Ethical Investment of City Retirement Funds”—that ties both pension and city dollars to the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) human-rights investment standards. The vote was 10-1-3."

    The local #NotAnotherNickel coalition was yuuuge in this effort! Our #DSA chapter, too!

    Proud of my town right now!

  10. Check this hopeful TED-talk in which Ruha Benjamin imagines Ustopias. 'Ustopias are built on an understanding that all of our struggles, from climate justice to racial justice, are interconnected, that we are interconnected.'

    This is more than imagining, it is possibility thinking.

  16. Once again regular people are getting screwed because huge corporate banks are doing a half-assed job (or none at all) to verify if the people opening bank accounts are real or not.

    There are “no real standards as to what a bank has to do for detecting fraud or money laundering”

    If there was any sort of serious, enforced regulation this wouldn’t happen. Consumers get hurt, corporations face no consequences.

  17. AND WHAT IF WE ALL JUST TOLD THE TRUTH?

    That equity is easy; it’s just never been a priority.

    That poverty is manufactured to keep the wealthy at the top.

    That homelessness is a policy choice.

    That the economy isn’t complex; it’s controlled and manipulated.

    That you can’t afford a home, because the rich are hoarding them.

    That hunger persists because capitalism doesn’t see feeding people as valuable.

    That supermarkets exploit us, because food is a business, not a right.

    That ecological collapse continues because stopping it threatens someone’s bottom line.

    That billionaires exist because exploitation is legal and encouraged.

    That we don’t live in democracies - we live under oligarchies dressed up as freedom.

    That the system gaslights you, every time it blames you for the struggle it created.

    That you can’t self-improve your way out of structural oppression.

    AND THE BIGGEST LIE???

    That nothing can change.

    The truth...

    Redistribute wealth.
    Reclaim power.
    Resource the people, not the elite.

    It isn’t complicated.
    It’s just constantly blocked by the top.

  22. Hi all, I’m Carmen.
    I’m here to connect with real people who care about real shit—fairness, community, the future of our planet, and what it means to live well right now in a broken system.

    Facebook was killing my soul. I needed real conversations with people of substance, intellect, empathy, and critical thinking.

    I’m learning to live slower, grow my own food, raise thoughtful humans, and think deeply about the world we’re inheriting and the one we’re passing on.

    I believe the status quo is deeply failing us—from housing to health, justice to climate—and I’m not here to be polite about it anymore. I’m starting to speak up about things, instead of living in my head and feeling powerless.. and it feels good!

    Inequality, capitalism’s failures, and the need for real, collective change. Not just survival, but something better for humanity.

    If that resonates, I’d love to connect.
