“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.

if they think that by privatizing everything public i love and use they'll get me to spend money with those private companies instead then they don't know me at all. i once drove to another state to buy public cheese. all they'll do is make me more annoying

It was pulled down, but now it’s back. Please pay attention.

I want everyone to just take FIVE MINUTES, and take a look at this extremely well put together project 2025 tracker. www.project2025.observer We're less than a month in.

Why do birds Suddenly appear Every time You are near

Flying to another state tomorrow. Hope I don't make the news! (That is: DIE!)

Most of the world’s brightest minds are hard at work developing new ways for you to get depression from a computer

Did you know your public library's hoopla digital collections are absolutely destroying their budget? That prices have gone up in some instances of over 400%, while library budgets have been stagnant or cut? Everything you should know as a library user: bookriot.com/library-hoop...

What kind of shithole country dismantles the department of Education 😞

The Execution of the Doge, by Delacroix, 1825. He was beheaded for attempting a coup d'etat. Apropos of, you know, absolutely nothing at all.

US products are now no longer safe to procure for anyone. From the other place but VERY IMPORTANT FACT:

I honestly do not see how this ends peacefully

I think what's interesting about the fall of the theory and idea of the USA is that for some it was Citizens United, for some it was this weekend with EM's proxies, for some it has not happened yet. But it's over. It's really fucking over. Some of us never wanted an empire. But too bad. It fell.

A Kentucky Fried Chicken or a Coca Cola worker could do the funniest and best goddamn thing for the planet

Every time I get to introduce the music and lyrics of Neko Case to someone new, I feel like a fucking goddamn missionary. Yes: her music, lyrics, politics, business model, way of being are all going to blow your fucking mind. You're goddamn welcome

Dear International Taxonomy Committee. I am yet again proposing a series of changes to the common names of animals for the Internet Era. Your prompt response is appreciated. 1. Texas Turtle-Rat. Alternative: Tactical Assault Possum

This is how we need to talk about what Trump and Musk are doing. Keep it simple and understandable.

i tell people sweet dream bc don’t get greedy

Excuse me while I slip into something more off a cliff.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

As a gay dude who moved from Idaho to California, watching Idaho continue to implode on civil rights for minorities is something I am glad I left behind. My heart still aches for the communities and people I left behind there.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

I would still love to see something where someone just straps gopros to a bunch of people's heads, and then simply tallies how many of the words they encounter in a normal day are ads.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

[doctor, pulling down mask] i’m sorry, there’s nothing we could do. the boys are back in town.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

Trump just abolished all men. All embryos are, at conception, female. After about 9-14 weeks of gestation male physiology develops. For an ideology that's supposedly 'science-based' these chumps really can't get high school biology right.

Just hopping on here to say that while I had A LOT of reservations about moving into housing with shared spaces and facilities, it's truly amazing to live with other adults who clean out the dryer lint trap after every load. I check every time ofc, & I am always left with the thought: DECENT PPL!

Have you never seen a baby Lumpfish? Well, today is your lucky day!

Just thinking about Luigi

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

That's right
