I decided to put red bull in my coffeepot instead of water this morning. I was halfway to work before I realized I forgot my car.

As soon as Faizan Zaki heard what would become his winning word at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, his eyes lit up. Without hesitation, Faizan spelled éclaircissement, pretending to type each letter on an imaginary keyboard with signature confidence. wapo.st/3ZIvqj0

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself. Benjamin Franklin

The cruelty is the point.

Interesting

In 2012 a herd of wild elephants marched for 12 hours to the home of Lawrence Anthony, the man who had once saved them. He had just died. They stood there in silence for two full day mourning. Exactly one year later to the day, they returned again, marching back to his house. viacharlietop10s

Oh, did they? 1,000:1 none of them lives in the Flint water area.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

White South Africans are on their way!

I cannot believe that I was right the first time on how the U.S. would annex Greenland. Take first, ask later. “agreement is irrevocable for 10 years. Danish foreign minister, said if the US were to take over Greenland, Denmark would be able to pull out early.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Uncertainty doesn’t mean we won’t rise. A lot of my life was uncertain. I didn’t think I would live past 10. Then 11. Then 12….Especially not 18 being from South Central Los Angeles. In 2 weeks I will be turning 32. 2 degrees. Traveled Europe. Uncertainty is only a dead-end if you give up.

The constitution being insufficient is really biting us in the ass rn. Only solutions that can fix it all is his administration dissolution. How is our task

Remember: politicians (yes, even democrats) exist within a capitalist system. They legislate at the whims of corporations. In 2012, Cory Booker’s net worth was $476,000. In 2018, it was $807,000. Today, the estimates are in the millions. These folks are not working class Americans.

The GSUS Los Angeles chapter is hosting a potluck on June 1st from 11:00am - 2:00pm at the LA State Historic Park in Chinatown. Stop on by and meet the community. We also encourage mutual aid and grassroots organizers to stop on by ❤️ #losangeles #generalstrike #potluck #mutualaid

Calls for General Strikes in the past decade have been known to stem from outside of unions, with little unity among the working class, therefore failing to come to fruition. But right now, there is nothing more important than solidarity. For both non-unionized and unionized workers.

It's ours! Not theirs to sell.😡😡😡😡😡 medium.com/the-american...

Realistic boycotting: I analyzed my Amazon usage for the past three months. The amount I've spent is 1/8 what I used to spend. I say this because a drastic reduction of usage is also effective even if one doesn't boycott 100%. Amazon, Tesla, Target, Walmart, etc. The goal is to reduce purchases.
