“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the
oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” - Elie Wiesel
@funko i am so disappointed with pop yourself. Still waiting on another reply bc the package didn’t include the two cats which were paid for on the receipt! This is after the order system glitched and no one helped!
North Dakota GOP have decided to force women to give birth. Even victims of rape.
Meanwhile, they voted against providing school meals because child hunger isn't "the responsibility of the state."
Mandating birth is state responsibility. Helping feed those kids is not. Got it.
Never forget. Rep. Thomas Massie, who represents Louisville, Kentucky, used this photo as his Christmas card in 2021. The fetishization of weapons of mass destruction is something we don’t need in our members of Congress. Full stop.
Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.
NO.
We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.
Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.
On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.
By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)
The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.
The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.
These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.
It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.
The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.
It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.
THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg
@PAAgriculture no one answers the phones or emails? Our only Agricultural School in Philly is being gutted - and u were warned over a year ago! Where are u? Russ? Hello?
@HilarieBurton They’ve done this for years to child actors- Judy Garland to Drew Barrymore, Mickey Rooney to the Coreys. Whatever it takes so ur on when they want u on. If u don’t they will exploit someone else.
🧵(⚠️Police Brutality)
Police just don't give a damn about human life.
"He's Black and he's pale as a ghost, If he dies in your custody" The lady filming warned but she was ignored.
Clarence Wilkerson did in fact die Saturday while in the custody of the Ashland Police Department.
Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.
Racism is about power.
Right now, someone making $160,000/year pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $16,000,000,000. That doesn’t make ANY sense. By raising the cap on payroll taxes for the wealthy, we can increase Social Security by $200/month and fund the program through 2095.
