In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, just 8% of drugs tested on #animals are deemed safe & effective for human use. This is DISGUSTING. We're TORTURING COUNTLESS ANIMALS & for poor results! We must change to computer models that outperform #AnimalExperimentation #AnimalRights #vegan

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Liberals Hate Socialists Because Socialists Are The Real Thing Most liberals secretly hate socialists more than they hate rightists, because while rightists attack their political agendas, socialists attack their egos. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/liberals-h...

We often hear people say “Democrats need a fighter” What does that mean? What are they fighting for? A good fighter is only as good as what they’re fighting FOR. Democrats must evaluate what the “for” is. It should be anti-corruption, anti-war, and pro-universal healthcare.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH This is the 1978 title change to Power Man And Iron Fist. 💥 The series lasted to issue 125. While they didn’t call themselves “Heroes for Hire” til #54, nor did they fight A-List villains, they would come up against Sabretooth, X-Men, and a young Frank Miller would provide art. 💫

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

A grand jury in Alabama is calling for a small police department to be abolished after recently indicting its chief and four other officers as part of a sweeping corruption investigation, saying that the department had operated “as more of a criminal enterprise than a law enforcement agency.”

I have learned in recent years there are 10s of millions of Americans not only willing but eager to go watch a lynching from the comfort of a picnic blanket and the only thing that was holding them back was the social penalty; really makes you think about those who warn against social penalties.

Dear aspiring Leftists (socialists and communists), Getting into socialism and communism doesn't start by reading theory. It starts by caring about other people. It starts by being super uncomfortable with injustice. It starts by having love as the basis of your drive for socialist revolution.
