This company is polluting a predominantly Black town with pig manure. And the government is making it easier for them to do it https://t.co/G72Te7ybMd

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

16k killed (7k kids),40k injured, 1.8ml IDPs, 60% civilian infrastructure gone. No food, water, medication. Just bombs dropping.

In the face of all this, Congresspeople of the only country who can stop this, legislated that antizionism=antisemitism.

Alternative reality, it is.

@Jay71405979 @fuckyouiquit PAY THEM BETTER. And hire more people. Clerks and techs are crucial help in a pharmacy, and only techs need training. I see tech apprenticeships or trainee programs via Walgreens and CVS, which is good. But then CVS pays techs only $40k!

@JahHills The blood pool tenders are just for tourists! The blood pool self-regulates.

if you receive SNAP benefits, your state probably has a Double Dollars program for you to buy locally-grown produce at farmers markets for half price.

Workers at McDonald’s at 3221 S White Rd are ON STRIKE - the AC is broken

Last week it was *108 degrees* inside the store

A month ago we filed a complaint with CalOSHA when it hit 104. Nothing happened. Now we're not just filing complaints, we're striking for the AC to be fixed

[Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom @FashioningSelf]

This painting, titled "Portrait of a Young Lady, a Free Person of Colour," was created by the Swiss portraitist Jean Baptiste Bonjour in 1852. It captures the grace and pared-down elegance of a young black girl in a emerald green gown. Bonjour was known to have only worked in Europe, so this young woman could have been a member of the burgeoning class of black Europeans in the nineteenth century or a immigrant from a colonized or formerly colonized country. It's currently held in the collection of businessman and philanthropist Sir Christopher Ondaatje.

@jerryjamesstone I loved Nuun tablets for a while, then a powder they made, but I think it’s all artificial sugar now. Honestly, maybe just your sugar of choice, salt, lime juice? Coconut water?

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

When you report a tweet for harassing, 'Holocaust denial' is explicitly mentioned as a reason for reporting.

And yet @X @Support responds that such antisemitic, hateful, Holocaust denial post does not break their safety policies.

Here is a list I made of massacres against Black Americans

You may have heard of The Tulsa, Rosewood, & Ocoee Massacres. They were just 3 of so so many more.

When I made this list, I knew that there were some missing. Many are unlisted & undocumented.

THIS IS AMERICAN HISTORY
