Farà male il dubbio di non essere nessuno
It will hurt to doubt, that you are nobody

Sarai qualcuno se resterai diverso dagli altri
You will be someone if you stay different from others

On Juneteenth remember that human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers who lost their “property” but not to the enslaved who lost their lives, was legal

Do not let legality be a measure of morality or justice

2 friends moved to AZ & TX from Chicago here because "they couldn't stand the cold."

Duh, put on a goddamn coat! 🙄

More deaths are related to heat than any other weather event. How's that working out for you?

The fact that the GOP is "requiring" candidates to endorse whomever is their eventual candidate is a clue to their failed ideology.

Votes, by law, supposed to be confidential. They're trying to shame people into endorsing what they don't believe in, basically "bend the knee."

I HATE the phrase "living your best life."

In karmic principal, how the fuck do you know if this is as good as it will ever get for me? Who says it can't get better?

The disgusting video of Tyre Nichols being murdered is what a modern day lynching looks like. Absolutely evil in every way. My heart is with his family and loved ones. 🙏

George Santos is not going anywhere. He has watched Donald Trump tell authorities and anything resembling a functioning Congress to go fuck themselves for seven years. George Santos is a byproduct of no one being held accountable.

BREAKING: Multiple liberal journalists, who have reported negatively about @elonmusk, have just been suspended from Twitter, including Aaron Rupar as well as reporters from CNN, The New York Times and The Washington Post.

WTF is going on Elon?

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Elon Musk just suspended a bunch of journalists, including Aaron Rupar, who cover him — without any reason. By silencing journalists, it’s clear that Elon Musk doesn’t care about free speech or democracy. He only cares about himself. We should all be outraged.

@Teri_Kanefield Sounds to me like The tRump: "I alone can fix it."

Oh, please... 😑

Veterans who served in combat zones should not have to be put back into combat in our own communities. The freedom we fought for is the freedom to be safe & live & love without fear of gun violence. #DisarmHate #EndGunViolence #ClubQ #NoWarOnOurStreets https://t.co/r1FEfJXy6Q

Thread. 👇 All of it.

Democracy is boring. It’s bad for ratings and clicks. It requires compromise.

Fascism is exciting. The strongman lands blows on the enemy! Compromising is seen as weak.

Too many people want theater.

Billionaire Capitalist is Pissed at the Way Capitalism Works

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.

Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

[Laura @TadBad]

Because celebrities aren't harassed enough by randos, right?? 🤦‍♀️

The people who most attract users will be gone damn near overnight.

Absolutely fucking moronic. *smh*

Unless he's doing a la The tRump: run it into the ground for a tax break?

[Teri Kanefield @Teri_Kanefield]

I'll add that I'm not worried about Trump being acquitted. I can see how the DOJ is methodically gathering evidence and turning over every stone.

I'm more worried that no matter what happens, people will say THE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT!

It will never be enough.

[Teri Kanefield @Teri_Kanefield]

I expect people to say, "OK I see why it's important to build solid cases."

Instead, I get: "SEE THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS CORRUPT white men get away with everything."

Me: If enough people don't learn to love rule of law with all of its imperfections we will lose it.

[Teri Kanefield @Teri_Kanefield]

Twitter: "The fact that the DOJ still hasn't indicted Trump when we all can see plainly that he's guilty shows that the DOJ is corrupt."

Me: Acquittals happen so it's important for prosecutors to get all the facts.

Then this happens:
