The US government is rounding up US residents (undocumented, documented immigrants, citizens) to jail and make work with no pay. A clear example of what we’ve been saying that ICE’s primary goal is human trafficking and slavery.

a woman’s actively documenting her process of trying to get a D&C in an abortion ban state. they made her get THREE ultrasounds after the fetus died to make sure it stayed dead since her body naturally didn’t dispel. they’ve left the dead fetus in her for THREE WEEKS so far.

A pack of cops arresting a kid saying “I need to get to school so I can take my tests” for trying to cut through the parade route that has frozen lower Manhattan (but students don’t get a day off).

Shitshow.

the diapers were paid for. walmart called the cops on a pack of diapers that were paid for. a mother lost her precious baby. kohen wiley lost his entire life over a pack of paid diapers. acab. defund the police. fund necessities for children. create an actual safety team that is trained in deescalation , can provide resources for necessities and for mental health. these cops need to be charged for murder when they murder.

When healthcare is for-profit, every company at every step of the way passes their demand for more profit downstream — and the Americans needing healthcare are at the end of that line, forced to absorb those higher costs.

This is what greed and exploitation looks like.

To recap:
Trump started a war.
Couldn’t win the war.
And now Iran gets $300 billion to stop the war, while we all pay more for gas and everything else.

This is Trump’s “Art of the Deal.”

Need more money? Get a second job.

Still not enough? Start a side hustle.

Still struggling? Monetize your hobbies.

Need a better job? Go back to school.

And nobody can answer the one question underneath all of it.

Why does it take this much just to live a normal life in America?

It never used to be like this.

“Government resources” = your taxpayer dollars

[Dr. Émile P. Torres (they/them) @xriskology]

Did you know that Hitler never once personally killed anyone? Same with Saddam, Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. They’re still mass murderers because they ordered others to do things that killed people. Musk did the same with DOGE—killing more people by 2030 than Stalin & Pol Pot combined.

BREAKING:

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.

Israel is bombing residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut.

A ceasefire that still allows bombs to fall on civilians is not a ceasefire.

[middleclassparty @middle_class_us]

While accumulating his wealth, Elon Musk sat in the White House and helped cut VA doctors.

Cut food stamps.

Cut Medicaid.

Cut school lunches.

Cut unemployment benefits.

A single mother in Louisiana gets $74 a month in food stamps and $257 a week in unemployment.

He got $1.1 trillion.

This did not happen by accident.

Journalist Janine di Giovanni:

"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."

"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro

Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

At least 88 corporations paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

Those 88 corporations also happened to spend $852 MILLION on political lobbying the last three election cycles.

They're essentially making a 3,000% return on investment.

The system is rigged.

fucking incredible quote from Cregger, a writer i admire:

"having your brain sucked into your phone for hours a day is *robbing you of the boredom* that is crucial to having ideas."

BRING 👏 BACK 👏 BOREDOM 👏

Belfast had to shut down its Mean Girls Musical because their first Black Regina George literally isn't safe leaving her yard. Are you lot hearing me?

I’m really just trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.
