Do you understand how bat-shit crazy and racist you have to be to pack up your whole livelihood and move to Africa for the sole reason to oppress black people?

We are living in very dangerous times with Elon being the richest man in the world and also involved with politics now

From North Carolina to Nepal. The climate crisis will not spare us, and the time for international action against the fossil fuel industry is right now.

New Orleans leaders and doctors call for reversal of new drug law reclassifying miso/mife as controlled substances: "Women are not safe in Louisiana," said one official while another called the law a "hatchet job" https://t.co/2krS7WA9XZ via @IlluminatorLA @pulitzercenter

Maram’s stunning piano performance in Kabul. Under the Taliban, music is now illegal. The Afghanistan National Institute of Music empowered talents like her, but one of the Taliban's first moves was to ban the school.

hurricane katrina was a radicalizing moment for me-seeing people left to die-painting help on the roofs while the helis whizzed past. people getting food were shot by the same mercenaries hired in iraq-katrina woke me up-that could be me on that roof-they will leave us all behind

I need y’all to understand how bad this is and how every household has someone who’s died from cancer isn’t an exaggeration. I have one of those rare inexplicable cancers. My mother had cancer. Both of my grandfathers had MULTIPLE cancers. My aunt’s cancer is terminal.

Without workers, companies wouldn't have billions in the first place.

It's time to crack down on corporate greed.

I’m so fucking sad. Every Palestinian lost is a lost full person, a person who had people who loved them, a person with a lifetime of ideas and preferences and dreams. How is this the world we live in?

Afghan women are defying the Taliban's ban on women speaking in public by singing out loud. Let’s stand with them and support their powerful voices.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

Afghan women are responding to the Taliban's ban on women speaking in public by launching a campaign and singing out loudly.
