[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Despite what Fox News wants you to believe, being afraid of an unarmed person is not a reason to kill them.

We should never accept a society where such rationale becomes normal.

Especially when powerful incentives exist in politics + media to keep people afraid of each other.

Three years ago today, Breonna Taylor was murdered.

Say her name. Keep saying her name.

Justice is building a world where Breonna Taylor would still be alive today.

No, it’s the opposite lol. Trans people (who’ve existed forever) were minding their own business when the conservative movement realized abortion was a losing issue for them and needed another culture war thing to help them whip up their base for the next election

My god leave Trans people alone...seriously.

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people.

This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.
