This is one of my favorite posts because that cat’s fucking name is fucking meatloaf

Let us just appreciate that this person’s dad didn’t know when they would be home and so he couldn’t plan for them to be able to join the family for dinner, but he knew with no doubts that dear sweet Meatloaf staying in that exact position for hours was an absolute in this scenario. Truly, that cat was named well.

Meatloaf is a reliable cat and did not steal the money for selfish reasons. A rare friend.

people who can’t pay fines are put in jail. once in the system they can/will be kept for “violating” the terms of their sentence and shipped off to prison. once there, they can be used for prison labor to “work off the debt”.

this is slavery.

Basically a law against being homeless and that’s super disgusting.

July 30 2020 - Activists against evictions in New Orleans blocked off both entrances to first city court, which handles evictions for rents less than $3000, blocking many landlords during the day who were trying to get into court to get their tenants evicted. Housing is a human right! [video]

This is ace. Proper direct action.
