Trump’s fuel blockade left Cuba with zero diesel, zero crude, zero fuel oil. 22-hour blackouts. 11,000 children waiting for surgery. A man died because a pacemaker couldn’t cross the blockade. The UN calls it “energy starvation.” Call Congress and say so: 1-202-224-3121. Script in thread.

A devastating story has come out about a US citizen child, Orlin, who was murdered after ICE deported his mom. This tragedy is an abject failure by ICE, and it’s why I will not give them another cent. We must stop the cruelty and lawlessness of this administration.

Women outnumber men, so the US has ALWAYS had minority rule. Men have created a system wherein they have enshrined and maintain control from a minority position. Women, it's time to stand up for ourselves. They've proven they have only our oppression at heart. Why would pedophiles want more babies?

I love to start the day with a good 404 error, and this one is *really* good.

This is horrifying. Expecting people to carry on working around the body of a dead colleague is egregious and unacceptable. We stand in solidarity with the workers in Troutdale, and will continue fighting every day for an Amazon that respects the people who work for it.
