many points of this list boil down to MORE money for cops.
they’re asking for ONE BILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the rape kits ALONE.
Survivors deserve policies that protect them and support their fight for justice. As President Biden and Vice President Harris take office, we\u2019ve sent them a letter outlining the actions we\u2019d like to see their administration prioritize over the next 4 years. @rainnaction 1/5 pic.twitter.com/dAuhCslVTm

Carceral.

Notice how they use "strongest predictor of arrest" as a metric for success. So it isn't even about victims...its about the system throwing more people in jail. They keep talking about rapists being "at large#"

Black organizers asked to defund the police based on our experiences and a white, well-funded organization basically shits on Black communities asking to REALLY FUND THE POLICE

Another side effect of VAWA: deradicalizing orgs, promoting a shift from treating VAW as a symptom of a gender oppression to...playing whack-a-mole with abuse where most victims dont get help from the state, but state efforts are deemed "successful" by its own parameters. pic.twitter.com/N5Zoi68EBB

Here’s what "financial wellness" means to me
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
2/ Mindset
Humans are programmed to think short-term
Evolutionary, thinking short-term makes sense. It helps with survival.
Financial wellness is all about training yourself to develop a long-term mindset
Not easy -- it takes practice

3/ Mindset
If you join the right tribes, you can’t help but improve

5/ Career
In the beginning, focus on growing your income
Do more than what is expected
Become a lynchpin
Find a career that you ENJOY (<- important!) that also has high-income potential
Start a side hustle (<- important!)
Build your talent
Boosting your salary is a great way to turbo-charge wealth building
