Proud Husband and Father. Might just be a really tall Gnome. He/Him "Human Rights For All Humans" shouldn't be a divisive statement. History doesn't repeat, but it's starting to rhyme uncomfortably closely. True North Strong And Free. Slava Ukrani

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

Efficient resistance means pushing back against fascism & pressuring it both on the streets as in the court rooms. Scenes from Tucson Arizona where protestors cornered Trump regime ICE troops, sprayed them in self-defence. Protestors kettled ICE & used their own riot control methods. #3E #StopICE

Sum: grim, grim, and grim. "Vaccine skeptics" doesn't capture it. Several of these people are hardcore antivaxxers who have spread lies & conspiracy theories. A closer look at the new members of the CDC vaccine advisory panel www.statnews.com/2025/06/11/r... via @statnews

Gabriel Dumont was a fascinating man. He spoke seven languages, served as a leader of the Metis people who led them into battle many times, and brought them peace with the Blackfoot. This is his story. My podcast episode about him 👇 pdst.fm/e/chtbl.com/... 🧵1/14

WATCH THIS. He gets it right Nottoway Plantation: the so-called “White Castle”, burned down. With it, a monument to whitewashed brutality. We don’t need romanticized nostalgia for slavery. We need truth. Let this be the end of pretending these places were anything but what they were: crime scenes.

I'm not really sure where this is going, so please forgive some meandering from a vulgar tuber (or common tater if you will). How did we allow ourselves to get to a place where it's somehow "a thing" to debate a person's right to exist? Behavior, beliefs, actions, sure, but *existing*?

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Re Ms Rachel and Hamas nonsense... when this all started in late '23 an old friend texted me about my tweets, which expressed concern for a future genocide and shock at the # of innocent women+ children being killed. He accused me of being Hamas. It's a sick disease. Block these insane people.

Since our legacy media couldn’t care less, and our current President is a galactic piece of shit: we have to remind ourselves that Putin has been committing war crimes, including the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children. So, you know, this is that reminder.

When I was in my twenties, I was repeatedly denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I might “meet a man who wants kids”. I was left completely disabled, forced to undergo six surgeries, multiple blood & iron transfusions to preserve a diseased uterus for a HYPOTHETICAL child. 🧵

It is Jewish Heritage Month and throughout this month I am sharing stories of Canada's Jewish history. Today, it is the tragic story of MS St. Louis, when Canada refused to allow Jewish refugees from Europe entry. Of those on board, 30% later died in The Holocaust. 🧵1/10
