today is the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, and also of the entire media class losing their minds over Chomsky telling some uncomfortable truths about it

#OTD My great-great-aunt Mildred Harnack was beheaded on Hitler’s direct order. Born in Milwaukee, she graduated from the University of Wisconsin & moved to Germany to pursue a PhD. As an American grad student in Berlin, she witnessed a rapid increase in Hitler's popularity. 1/12

WE ARE NOT WINNING. Former Vice President of the USA says the people who run our world and economy are driving us towards global cataclysm. Where are our cultural and political leaders? They need to raise the alarm and demand action NOW #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/FBkdC6UdDN

Part of treatment for depression is behavioral activation…this means doing things even when your motivation isn’t there…

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

make more room for you. more space to make mistakes without attaching resentment to yourself, more patience with yourself in your regretful moments, more love to the beautiful parts of you that you’ve hidden out of shame, give yourself permission to create infinite possibilities.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

forgive all the versions of yourself that operated out of fear instead of growth, the ones that viewed comfort zones as safe havens and abandoned boundaries to keep other people happy, forgive all the versions of yourself that didn’t know that love begins with how you treat you.

today is the 21st anniversary of 9/11, and also of the entire media class losing their minds over Chomsky telling some uncomfortable truths about it

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

today is also the 49th anniversary of the first 9/11, a much worse act of state terror conveniently memory-holed by the Western media and political class because the US sponsored it: the fascist military coup against Chile's socialist government

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

as the media class began the "War on Terror" propaganda, in November 2001 Chomsky was pointing out that the US is the world's leading terrorist state and that "it's a great error to describe terrorism as the weapon of the weak: it's a weapon of the strong, and always has been."

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

right after 9/11 the first major part of the so-called "War on Terror" was the US empire's illegal invasion of Afghanistan under false pretenses, destroying the country and killing over 200.000 over the next 2 decades. The entire media class cheered it on

[☀️👀 @zei_squirrel]

the next target of the "War on Terror" was Iraq, and here too the media class played a key role in manufacturing consent for the destruction of the country and the killing of over 1 million, which remains the greatest crime of the 21st century

1. The post-Roe maternal mortality increase for white women is 13%.

3. Black women in Mississippi are now 118 times more likely to die from childbirth than they are from an abortion. 118 TIMES.

A McDonalds hamburger costs $2.09 at the register. McDonalds internal documents show that the raw materials (patty, bun, etc.) cost $0.34. A McDonalds employee makes $11/hr on average with a shift manager making $15/hr. Shifts are 8 people on average. That means McDonalds pays

I just spent some time in various parts of the vast front surrounding Severodonetsk, where Russian troops are massed in an effort to capture the last major city in Luhansk held by Ukrainian defenders.
