Slaves could not own property.
Slaves could not keep their children
Slaves could not have money
Slaves were cattle

There was zero benefit to be a slave except to the slave owner.

If a slave were to make something, it would be taken from them.

Republicans are stupid racists...

The ppl who banned Black ppl from schools, jobs, military, & public spaces, lynched Latinos, banned Asian immigration, locked up Japanese ppl, broke hundreds of treaties with Native Americans—& are now banning teaching that history—want you to stop making everything about race.😐

Doctors be like: Don’t confuse your Google search with my 4 years of Medical School

Patients be like: Don’t confuse your 4 years of Medical School with my 20 years of living with the fucking disease

The killing heat has arrived. People are literally being burned alive, collapsing on sun-scorched surfaces and dying from extreme burns because surfaces are just that hot.

Yes, really. This isn't dystopian fiction, it's our reality. And it's only going to get worse. 1/6

This is what privatized healthcare has gotten us.

It’s quite terrifying how profoundly mindless these tech bro pseudo-prophets are - apparently incapable of understanding the world around them beyond the silliest level of superficiality, and yet enabled to have an outsized influence on the lives of future generations.

@girlziplocked We work too much. An evening or weekend spent socializing is rare. We work all day then come home, tend to our children, tend to our homes, then sleep and repeat. Weekends are spent doing the housework we can't reach during the week. No one has time for community anymore.

Please don’t normalize COVID and climate change. These are definitely not normal things. To normalize something is to be complacent to it. Kids constantly getting sick is not normal. Summer colds are not normal. Floods and fires and heat that’s unbearable is not normal.

Slavery built Florida. In fact, the history of slavery in Florida goes back to the 1500’s when Florida was still a Spanish colony. Florida was in fact one of the first states that was built on slavery. Slaves first arrived in Florida in 1526. Almost one hundred years before

[Mr. Spock 🖖 (Commentary) @SpockResists]

Black people in America built a country they were never going to be free in. They physically built its infrastructure and they physically picked the cotton in which America’s economy was built. However, something much more sinister was at work from day one. The enslavement of not

Interesting fact: Tony Bennett was demoted during World War II because he ate with a black soldier before racial integration. Tony Bennett invited his Black friend, Frank Smith, to dine with him at a time when soldiers were still officially segregated. As a result, a bigoted officer demoted Bennett from corporal to private and reassigned him to a unit that exhumed mass graves and prepared the bodies of soldiers for shipment back home[1]. This incident was an example of the widespread prejudice and discrimination that existed in the army during that time[1]. Tony Bennett later became an advocate for civil rights and joined Dr. Martin Luther King during the 1965 civil rights march in Alabama[1].

RIP Tony Bennett

people who think a univeral electronic health records system is a good idea has never been chronically ill. i actually do not think it's a great idea that every doctor, especially the ones in the ER, can see that some useless loser misdiagnosed my neuroimmune illness as "anxiety"

This incredible study looked at emergency department visits in children for suicidality (attempts & ideation) before & during the pandemic and found, unsurprisingly:

a) kids more likely suicidal during school months
b) school closures associated with DECREASED ER visits

It's increasingly looking that we've underestimated the impacts of #ClimateBreakdown...

This is single mom Stephanie Wilson. A few years ago, police seized *both* of her cars. She hadn't committed a crime and was never arrested.

The government spent years trying to keep her property anyway.

She is far from the only victim. Their stories will shock you. A thread.

People seem to love #Oppenheimer but I'll just say it: I was uncomfy watching yet another movie about tortured white male genius when the victims of the atrocities glossed over by the script—Japanese people, interned Japanese Americans, and Native Americans—had no voice.

BREAKING: A new report shows that the end may be in sight for AIDS, the world’s deadliest pandemic.

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS says that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have all reached “95-95-95” targets, meaning 95% of the people who are living with HIV know their status, 95% of those people are on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people in treatment are virally suppressed.

Across eastern and southern Africa, new HIV infections have been reduced by 57% since 2010. Also since 2010, the percentage of pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV who have access to antiretroviral treatment has nearly doubled, and new infections among children have more than halved.

There’s more work to be done, but the UN said the world could end AIDS by 2030 with sufficient investment from global leaders.
