If slavery was still legal today, finance bros would be day trading people. They would use a big computer to own a guy for a single millisecond. They’d short sell an old man. We’d enslave people simply as punishment for a crime. We’d do mass incarceration. Prisons run for profit
sometimes i wonder how many queer people would've turned out completely differently if they had spent their teenage years discovering themselves instead of defending themselves.
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
The House will vote on an amendment that would block funding to Israel.
It should be a no brainer: Our tax dollars should not fund a genocide.
We cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.
Fiancée made me tear up today after I was telling her of all the kids that stop and watch us at work (I'm Trails Crew at Rocky Mountain NP) and she said "you know how you met those park employees once and knew you wanted to work in parks? Maybe you're that moment for these kids"
the problem is that I simultaneously want to live on acres of land in the middle of nowhere next to a creek AND a charming, tree-lined, historic neighborhood where I’m a regular at a craft coffee shop and can walk to my church, gym, a high-end grocery store, and a used bookstore.
a lot of people dont care about insect biomass collapse bc when they hear we are losing 2.5% of the insect biomass per year they just imagine the cockroach and housefly population decreasing by that much. they dont realize those are among the only ones that will remain unbothered
The left has one job right now: stop treating authoritarianism like a debate club topic. It is here. It is funded. It is organized. It is wearing a flag pin and thumping a bible.
This scene hit hard and more polls show it's unfortunately accurate sadly.
"They let us all come out, so now we're standing in the open ready for them to shoot us down" - such a devastating line.
They should re-make that show Life After People but focus excusively on ecological systems. It'd be really interesting to see how we think nature 'heals' itself, esp after we've engineered the landscape so heavily
@YodaBauer This makes sense when you remeber that "guy" as a noun actually stemmed from effigies of Guy Fawks. Those "Guys" became a general term. Yoda Guy Fawks amd we just call others that look like him yoda
I can't wait for the kei van hype to mold into our culture to the point that we try to "americanize" them and reinvent minivans. IT'S TIME FOR A MINIVAN REVOLUTION
the genocide has not ended. it never did. i feel like i dont hear much about palestine anymore just bc they announced a ceasefire but israel completely ignored it. theyre still killing palestinians. theyre still cutting off supply boats. do not stop talking about palestine.
One of the most horrific scenes in human history has been leaked.
When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to run after a loaf of bread under gunfire.
A moment the world should never forget.
One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history.
Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza.
A moment the world must never forget.
