Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

We shouldn’t be surprised that trump is in support of Putin and blames Ukraine. He’s basically trying to do the same thing with Canada; if he could take military action, invade, and takeover, he would.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

It makes me sick to think there are people sitting in prison for personal drug use and this brain rotted asshat is the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s working with Russia to attack Canada, weaken them, and make them susceptible to a takeover. Far-fetched, but I put nothing past him at this point.

The rich will be fine. It’s the poor, some middle class, POC that will suffer and be harmed the most during this time. Which, apparently, is exactly how they’ve planned it.

This is unhinged and sociopathic. US Govt forced Indigenous people to relocate. It was genocide. Nazis forced Jews to relocate to concentration camps. It was genocide. Myanmar forced the Rohingya to relocate. It was genoicde. WSJ is advocating for more genocide. Horrific.

They confirmed a traitor, an anti-vax lunatic, an unqualified zealot of a TV host with a walk in closet worth of skeletons, and an army of destructive ghouls. There is no institutional resistance beyond what courageous individuals are doing in their own capacity. Recognize it. Organize accordingly.
