Each time a remotely progressive candidate wins office in the US, the rich declare they're going to leave town. What do they actually do? Nothing. A 2016 study found only 0.04% of millionaires move in a given year due to tax increases. Rich people talk to feel important. Please properly tax them.

"I Can't Breathe": Five Years After George Floyd's Murder, Trump Admin Rolls Back Police Oversight

The House Majority wants to pay for billionaire tax cuts by slashing clean energy incentives and auctioning off our public lands. Their massive bill puts polluters first—and leaves everyday Americans behind.

The only shock is that he hasn’t tagged Trump, Vance or Elon in this one.

Trump Repeats "White Genocide" Falsehoods in Meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa

Y'all, we are all fucked.

Incredible how some people applaud past progress like it’s sacred history—labor rights! civil rights! feminism!—but when today’s movements come knocking, it’s all “let’s not get carried away.”

To say that I'm really enjoying my Race, Gender and Sexuality in Dancehall class would be an understatement. Today we debated whether dancehall is "capitalist" or a tool of "resistance." These were students' contributions/takeaways.

“Sint Maarten is not a commodity to be traded, nor a territory to be reclaimed by relics of a colonial past. We are not the backdrop for someone else’s ambition.

If you looked at the media, you'd think wildfires are endemic to Europe/North America. However, data reveal a much different reality: "Africa experiences more than half of the burned area globally every year.

I asked my dancehall class yesterday: should Black communities have to explain our culture? A few students answered no. This story probably explains why.
