"Sometimes, I see that face and imagine that we are the servants entombed alive with the pharaoh, polishing someone else's gold while our oxygen runs out, dutifully preparing a grand feast for a god who will never be hungry." (excerpt from The Family Business by @elguante)

This is crazy. For those who are into True Crime.

Today there isn't a single city, county, or state in America where a full-time worker earning the local minimum wage can afford a two-bedroom apartment.

11.4 *MILLION* poor households are now classified as "severely cost-burdened," spending 78% of their income on rent alone.

Someone else said:

“Art Nouveau is when it looks made by elves.

Art Deco is when it looks made by dwarves.”

And after looking into it, I think they’re a genius and 100% correct.

"Not only have they abandoned us but the whole Western media was complicit, and is still complicit, about the genocide... It didn't end. It didn't stop. It's still ongoing."

Powerful words from Gaza journalist @hind_gaza to me.

Cops steal more than thieves. Literally.

🚨This will be the last post we share here.

We believe there is no point in telling our human stories anymore; everyone has grown accustomed to seeing us killed. It's no longer worth the risk to send our voice out to a world that is content with mere solidarity. Even many of our human stories no longer interest people (even our voice is being ignored).

It's time to stop waiting for a savior and to help ourselves survive.

Please try to keep us in your prayers.

I can't take it 😭 School's closed due to a covd outbreak "as the district works to sanitize the building." The ENTIRE response is about disinfecting. Literally no mention of ventilation, filtration, masks, eating outside, testing, nothing. Howww do we keep getting this so wrong?

With the least amount of power comes a surprising amount of responsibility still.

Great stuff! Definitely worth boiling lakes and spending $100bn on it

“The death toll in Gaza is 4 or 5 times higher than what we were told. Palestinians are dying from treatable diseases bc of lack of equipments and medicine”

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

It’s ok to be upset. To have your feelings hurt. To cry. To disappoint other people. Not every feeling needs to be fixed or change. Most feelings just need to be accepted, then they fade.

[soul khan, msw @soulkhan]

the racist pogroms in england and the genocide in gaza share a key characteristic, an oppressor feigning oppression or peril themselves and using it to justify sadistic violence while continually miscasting the reality of who's the threat to whom.

Tapping the sign

[Steven Donziger @SDonziger]

BREAKING: The Biden Administration just released a report documenting the deaths of 973 Native American children kidnapped by our government into federally-funded boarding schools from 1819 to 1969 as a way to strip them of their tribal identity. This was cultural genocide.

The @nytimes buried the shocking story on A17 while placing a story about ping-pong on the front page.⤵️

Obsessed with this guy on the US men's gymnastics team who's only job is pommel horse, so he just sits there until he's activated like a sleeper agent, whips off his glasses like Clark Kent and does a pommel horse routine that helps deliver the team its first medal in 16 years.

[Ben Norton @BenjaminNorton]

Humanitarian organization Doctors of the World has confirmed as "credible" the estimate of 186,000 Palestinian deaths due to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

This estimate is by scholars in leading medical journal The Lancet. Other experts say it is accurate.
