That feeling that every single institution in this country failed (or was exposed as a failure) when it mattered most. Never let that go

“Am I scared of the state? Pretty silly not to be. I’m a brown person. I might be killed by the police for existing in certain spaces. [But] fear is the mind killer ... you can’t let the fear stop you from doing things, from living, from existing, from resisting.”

A land defender, a young life taken by police.

Georgia cops claim it was self-defense. No body cam footage. No evidence. No witnesses. The machines resumed razing the forest the next day.

Justice for #Tortuguita.
Journey well ✨

Minnesota also gave the green light to #Line3, the largest new tar sands infrastructure project in North America, the equivalent of 50 new coal-fired plants. Is that factored into the equation?

Climate change doesn’t see borders.

Unemployment is at an all-time low, yet people can’t afford eggs or rent—63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. It’s not that “no one wants to work,” it’s that these corporations are stealing people’s wages. It’s time to fight back.

their own because parents have been beaten down by the systems. The list goes on and on...

The US government will do everything in its power to (1) continue feeding the rich, and (2) keep capitalism on life support. In other words, it will do absolutely nothing to alleviate

Reminder: record profits are unpaid wages.

The “you need to work in person” propaganda is getting out of hand

Genuinely curious how streaming music in retail spaces, sporting events, and other places that are decidedly not real humans deciding they like music are causing certain songs to just kind of stay popular despite not being liked by many actual people.

Wow! They really know how to spread those awards around at the Grammys!

They tried to ban drag in Arkansas, and anyone wearing clothes not “of their gender identity” performing.

So drag artists and activists got together and sang Seasons Of Love on the Capitol Steps.

All references to drag have since been removed from the bill.

Y’all rock.

The number of people killed by police reached a ten-year high in 2022. Federal subsidies to police did too: https://t.co/syCPaiWUmf

Thirteen million dollars is less than what the NYPD gets every 12 hours.

If you have reason not to believe your rapid test results, please get a PCR.

@D3_AllAmerican @SJeanneM1983 @WhoIsWesStreet @davenewworld_2 @KDDrummondNFL You say this like that isn’t also a good service they offer. Universal access to indoor space/ public programming/ bathrooms/ social interaction is the bare basics of a functioning society.

"New York's public libraries are essential institutions providing a wide range of services and cultural programming on top of books and media. If Eric Adams' proposed library cuts go through, huge numbers of New Yorkers will suffer immensely."

Eric Adams wants to slash NYC's library budget to overfund the NYPD. One of the most culturally-significant locations in America to learn new facts about our world and expand your knowledge has always been the local public library. Any mayor who's anti-library should resign ASAP.
