But evangelicals vote for 'em because it will get them school prayer, total abortion bans, and unregulated "home schooling" so they can brainwash a generation of Biblical literalists who think the Earth is 5,000 years old and Jesus was white and *super* into rich people.

We have our own Wimbledon champion today #Mzansi 🇿🇦 🏆
Our very own Kgothatso Montjane won the Ladies Doubles Wheelchair Finals.
That’s a magnificent achievement given the level of talent, effort and sheer coordination required in not only overcoming a significant physical challenge, but simultaneously managing a wheeelchair around the court, and hitting a racket at the same time 🎾

Really honored to be the 2024 Woody Guthrie Prize recipient! THANKYOU. Woody Guthrie is a great hero of mine. He was a fearless agitator, a six-string instigator, a poetic truth teller and a harmonizing hell raiser. He was the original punk rocker whose life, music, art and lyrics were beacons of justice and liberation for the downtrodden and oppressed. In my own work Woody has been an inspiration to tell it like I see it without compromise or apology and to play my songs (and his songs) on the picket line and at the barricade whenever and wherever people are taking a stand.
Previous Woody Guthrie Prize recipients include friends Pussy Riot, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez & Chuck D.

Historic and wonderful.
In a referendum it has been decided that oil will not continue to be extracted from Ecuadorian Amazon.
Thank you and congratulations to the people of Ecuador for protecting their people, land nature, future & those of the rest of the world too.
Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a "utopian socialist." He lies about being a "free speech absolutist." He lies about which companies he founded:

How do I know so much about how @elonmusk does things? I spent 3 years investigating Tesla at @BusinessInsider from 2018-2021. Here are some of sloppy, dangerous, callous, things I learned:

Actually useful timeline for reference coupled with a scathing/humorous take on The #Terraclysm, the Dread Pirate #DoKwon (@stablekwon), #3AC Tribronity
