lol what if the policies that people wanted were put into effect and the wars that people don't want were never started lol

Great job by the too pure to vote for Harris “but Gaza” non voters. You really showed her.

I know everything is on fire but PLEASE contact your representatives about the selloff of public lands. It's a heartbreaking proposal that will destroy the soul of America.

People don't appreciate sitting in silence enough. I'm at the edge of a lake at a nearby state park watching the wildlife, and far too many people are out here playing their music for everyone to hear. They're completely missing out on the bald eagles above us, and everything else around us.

He just means they have one too many. Just the one. Yeah, that one.

This week, WIRED has been helping readers (that’s you!) learn how to win a fight, from Tesla Takedown to out-trolling trolls. We also put together a zine that collects some of the most helpful tidbits in a handy format you can print, fold, and share. Download here: www.wired.com/story/downlo...

When you realize that what you were taught in school was selected so it wouldn't inconvenience you.

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

It is unreasonable for any law enforcement official who refuses to properly identify themselves to expect members of the public to obey their orders, much less go with them willingly in a vehicle. It could be someone impersonating an officer - the uniforms are on Amazon. No ID = we can’t be sure.

Sometimes I wish ghosts were real so that I could spend more time with my pets from the past.

Brutal.

Genuinely sad and insane that @marshablackburn, Jack Johnson & Sexton want to enshrine this into law instead of banning it. Deeply un-American.

“Beef is a leading driver of deforestation, and drought conditions coupled with this land clearing help create ‘fuels’” Raising livestock has totally reshaped Earth’s landscapes. Almost none of the grassy hills in Cali are native. They are green two months per year.

We were willing to sacrifice our civil rights after 911 and 20+ years later we still haven't gotten them back, but ... when we have home-grown mass shooting on U.S. soil nothing, no action, no preventive measures - just thoughts and prayers

Obv we need a nationwide read-along of the constitution, complete with breakdowns of what each item means, followed by a Q & A.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

Nearly nine months after Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina, people in some communities are still struggling to find fresh food.

Shalt thou go to World War three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt war to, and the number of the warring shall be three. Four shalt thou not war to, neither thou two, as that has been done before, unless thou shalt proceed to three. Five is right out.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

It's not just the raids--- people are dying while in ICE custody, and we need to pay attention to this. A Haitian woman died in ICE custody in Florida in April. At the time ICE said her death was "under investigation". www.ice.gov/news/release...

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Looking for more songs to add to a playlist I'm assembling, it's main theme being anti- war and anti- fascism. Please give me your suggestions! #music

If you can't afford Microsoft’s $150 suite of office tools, there’s a web-based version that’s free to use—and nearly just as capable. www.wired.com/story/micros...

Surprise day off! I've been barely productive in real life, but my Cult of the Lamb is thriving.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there who don’t refer to taking care of their own children as “babysitting.”

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. It's already happening. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.

I had no idea this existed. Too bad it doesn't fit on a sign. youtu.be/WvOZs3g3qIo?...

I guess Covid cautious or immunocompromised people aren't allowed to protest. But it's ok for ICE to run around in balaclavas like assholes

Yesssssss… I love this 🙌🏼

It comes as no surprise to me that the first American citizen detained by Marines on U.S. soil is a Black man. I predicted this outcome, along with MILLIONS of other Black folks. And it underscores the ongoing reality we must confront.

📣 DISSENT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT 📣

Why is telling Black truth treated like a threat… but erasing it isn’t seen as violence? (1/)

This is your periodic reminder to moisturize, hydrate, medicate and eat something. Take care of you first

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

if you are protesting now or in the future be safe and remember: • do not announce you're attending online • do not sign any online RSVP • wear a mask • wear clothes that don't draw attention • leave your phone at home • bring bottled water • do not speak to cops • do not post photos after

As a kid, I devoured books. As an adult, nothing has changed. Books inspire, educate, entertain. Do yourself a favor and READ MORE BOOKS! #writingcommunity #writerslift #writers #bookboost #booksky #booknerd #Lgbt
