The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

it's giving

It's the weekend, baby

I’ve been thinking this too. Where are all the safe guards?

It's possible that Grammarly has lost it's damn freaking mind. #writing #writingcommunity #booksky

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

When you donate at check out you’re essentially just funding their tax write off.

I find it funny how The X-Files is a comfort show for me given how wild a ton of the storylines are 🛸

Reparations aren’t radical. Enslaving people for hundreds of years, Black Codes, lynching, Jim Crow, redlining, mass incarceration + more is radical. Denying the financial harms of that is unconscionable.

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.  This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

The rise of AI is incompatible with the economy unless there is universal basic income.

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich -$700B in Medicaid cuts -$500B in Medicare cuts -$300B in SNAP cuts -Leasing public lands to Big Oil -Ending IRS Direct File -Ending clean energy tax credits -Banning AI regulation in the states The oligarchy's wish list.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

The Supreme Court holds that fascism is bad. Thomas and Alito dissent.

Student debt is held by working class Americans from working class families, not the elites. Americans who struggle to pay it back are working class, not elites. The elites don’t struggle with debt.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget. Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge. Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits. "Fiscal responsibility."

You can't claim a sealed border and an invasion at the same time.

Trump is trying to stifle free speech.  He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Andor Season 2 is VERY timely when you consider the state of the world particularly in the US right now. Obviously Star Wars has always been a political commentary, but some of this is so on the nose with current state. I love it.

They don’t want the American people to link the civil rights movement and the worker’s rights movement. It’s the same reason they call it The March On Washington and not its full name: The March On Washington for Jobs and Freedom.

If you can definitely make sure you see Sinners in a theater and make it IMAX if possible. Probably one of the best if not the best theater experience I’ve ever had

Ok they got me I really didn’t think Bethesda would just drop a game like that 😂. I never beat Oblivion when it was out back in the day so now I have no excuse this time

They cancelled PPP loan debt, they can cancel student loan debt.

CEO to worker pay in: 1989 ➡️ 61:1 2025 ➡️ 399:1 Current Target CEO to worker pay: ‼️719:1‼️ So no, we’re STILL not shopping at Target.

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

He is risen

Playing through South of Midnight and wow… this game is a straight up masterpiece. Also fun fact, Ahmed Best is a main character and he was the voice director. No wonder the voice acting is top notch.

This new album by The Mars Volta that just dropped yesterday is amazing. Definitely in my opinion a sort of return to what I liked most about the band, but with also maybe a classic prog rock vibe cooked in open.spotify.com/track/62Qorp...

Mahmoud Khalil was exercising his First Amendment rights, he is being deported due to political speech. Take a step back, even if you disagree with his politics, as a US resident, he is protected by the First Amendment.

I don’t always get CoD skins but if you put Silent Bob in the game I’m going to get it. Just like when they put Ash from Evil Dead in MWIII.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

A movie from the year you turned 18. @manmademoon.bsky.social ‘s Source Code was in theaters when I was 18 apparently 😂. That seems wrong because it feels like yesterday, but here we are. Love that movie.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Don’t tell me we can’t have universal healthcare when the US can approve a military budget of damn near $1 TRILLION DOLLARS.
