One woman interviewed from the huge protest said:
"Why is it that our governments and our laws give more rights to a tiny few to make profits, but no rights for the majority to have a roof over their heads?Our taxes fund the existence of these governments and legal systems. Something needs to change! We can't keep paying to get fucked."
25,000 people marched in Madrid.

Sounds more and more like we need an International general strike.
Just shut it all down.
Stop feeding them and start feeding us.
@AnnieBuddy I'm absolutely and totally up for it.

I see people from all over the world on here and few of them think their government is doing the right thing, or if they do, they are doing other things that put our future at risk.
And the doing NOTHING about Palestine. We need to make them do more.

@Remittancegirl I read that someone offered to pay the increased rent for her and the company refused to renew her lease. It's time to stop corporations from buying all the things needed for simple survival.

@Remittancegirl Trying to answer her question I would say that the two positions are mutually exclusive. Or as Bertolt Brecht famously wrote: „Rich man and poor man stood face to face,And the poor man said pale:If I weren't poor, you wouldn't be rich.“ Original: „Reicher Mann und armer Mann standen da und sah'n sich an, und der Arme sagte bleich: Wär' ich nicht arm, wärst du nicht reich“

@Remittancegirl Sounds like the Spanish people have their heads in the right place. When I make my video next week, I'll put in a shout-out for Maricarmen.

Despicable indeed, hope this finally opens the eyes of the world, we need to move away from this uncompromised neoliberal capitalism or it will be our demise. The world is about people, not about profit...

Revolution. It's the only chance we have to survive. Otherwise the sociopathic Epstein class will kill us all...and themselves.
Humanity has the right to defend itself.

say it with me, people all over the world:
"politicians are parasites!"
chant it everywhere.
and let them know we will track them all down and find out what they did with all that money - there will be, let us say, consequences.
$147,000,000 missing funds in the city of #Portland, meant to provide services for people experiencing #homelessness. where did all that money go? absolutely no one talks about it. no one.
we have ways of making you talk, #scumbags
