BTW—I don't want police to kill guilty people either. I'm just always fascinated how police can arrest white mass murderers like Vance Beolter alive & unharmed—but can't help but kill unarmed and innocent Black citizens like Philando Castile and George Floyd. The complexion for protection is a trip

“This shit’s going into the White House.” I spoke to @rollingstone.com about how a group of tech billionaires with an extreme ideology penetrated Trump's White House. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

UN-fing-believable This is why we protest! This is why we MUST all stand together and say no more‼️ Shame on the entire GOP and anyone that supports them. Shame on US All. #NoKings #NoThugs #NoTyrants

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

From campaign 2024 -- Trump's planned mass deportations promises and how ICE operated under Biden. Huge contrast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjCH...

Beginning on the night of May 31, 1921, thousands of white citizens in Tulsa, Oklahoma descended on the city’s predominantly Black Greenwood District, burning homes and businesses to the ground and killing hundreds of people. Still one of the worst incidents of racial violence in American history

ICE crossed a line in LA

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Choose kindness—because you never know when the fear, mockery, or scorn of a generation will mold the next C-tier supervillain.

Billions in foreign real estate deals. $320M in crypto trading fees — and a private dinner with top buyers of his meme coin. $28M from Amazon for a Melania documentary. The list goes on... We're so numb to Trump profiting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices. Hello?

Good morning. Your Monday morning reminder to fight fascism and never give up. We are better together. We can and will defeat this corrupt regime.

💯 Every serial killer starts with animals, the easiest and most defenseless victims (and/or children) Then we have men with a strong urge to kill and "trophy hunting" becomes their "sport". Except it's not really a sport. It's a license to kill indiscriminately

Russian bot farms use paid individuals to spread misinformation, continuing KGB-style “active measures” from the Cold War. Here’s how you can spot them 👇 (1/7)

People often say multi-billionaires like Elon Musk could eliminate global hunger if they wanted to. But fighting global hunger is, in reality, a VERY complex task! And not only did Elon opt not to use his billions to do it, he actually used his billions to stop others who WERE doing it!

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

multiple actions at rachelcohenofficial.com :) also I would be so remiss not to name—Katie has been such a strong supporter and amplifier not just on these issues but also in helping me navigate the weirdness of stepping into this era of my career. what a gift to have connected so early
