I think it's good when poor kids get to visit the aquarium.

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

how is the axolotl so popular and yet no one cares that it’s effectively very near extinct in the wild

why aren’t we, as a global society, putting more pressure and effort into their conservation considering axolotls merch is *everywhere*

an Amazon worker died last month on the warehouse floor and management told everyone to keep working and not attempt aid.

Right here in Troutdale

“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

Only in America can a Canadian billionaire waltz into a drought-ridden state on the verge of ecological collapse and get a massive data center campus rubber-stamped with huge tax breaks. Zero local input. But made possible by the bought and paid for government!

[Hanner @GangstHannah]

THIS is why they want to force age verification/digital ID everywhere.

Just look at the UK where they're arresting people for saying something the government doesn't like.

Canada's also pushing for this shit because they don't want us protesting their fascism or voicing dissent

Jeff Bezos, who paid $10 million for the Met Gala, got $62 billion richer since Trump was elected & spent $500 million on a yacht to sail to his $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring because his tax rate is less than 1%.

4 words: Tax the damn rich.

[lelu @lelulolololol]

it's a good practice to be able to identify the surveillance around you & risks with it - data harvesting, flock/axon cams, ring cameras - but part of the point of this surveillance saturation is to scare you into passivity under the assumption it's totally omnipotent, it's not.

Veganism and meat consumption in the modern context are both two cheeks of the same ass. As someone who comes from a family of farmers who have been exploited by industries for as long as I remember, the real enemy is capitalism which makes the industries utterly dogshit.

An HIV-positive man with colon cancer, unable to work for four years, lived in his Los Angeles apartment for almost 25 years.

He says he mailed his rent on time. The landlord said the check never arrived and filed for eviction.

After a trial, a jury ruled he DID mail the payment, but since it wasn't cashed, they said he failed to pay on time.

A judge ordered him out. Sheriff's deputies escorted him from his home of a quarter-century.

He took his dog, Simba, and his clothes. He left behind his furniture, his blankets, his two TVs, and his beloved Madonna CDs.

He's now homeless, sleeping on a friend's sofa.

The system will evict a dying man over a payment dispute.

But a corporation can squat in bankruptcy court for years? "That's a different matter entirely."

btw the highly biodiverse Xingu river area where this little dude lives is actively under threat right now by canadian company Belosun that is trying to use this indigenous land to mine gold. the local indigenous communities are trying to resist and push back but the state+

“We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat.” — Roger Freeman, adviser to Reagan and Nixon, arguing for limits on access to education. The US is functionally illiterate by design. Literacy is a tool of freedom, something that is intolerable in the land of the free.

This is what people mean when they say that poverty is systemic and a class issue, and not because of personal choices.

[James🔻 @GoodVibePolitik]

Genuinely difficult for me to square the idea of doing an event for children with a man who single-handedly expanded the U.S. drone program across multiple countries, approving strikes that killed countless people children included. Just doesn’t sit right with me.
