The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Everyone is posting their "non-political opinions" and my non-political opinion is that 99% of all political opinions are just important aspects of our life we need to discuss but some a-hole politicized our lives because they think survival is a friggin' game.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

I really miss the days when we were supposed to get worried about an advanced alien civilization living in our oceans. Good times.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Definitely want to come back to this.

Sometimes I get this cough, like a really dry cough, that feels like flem is stuck in my lung but it turns out I just needed to cough hard enough to trigger my uncanny ability to sneeze 37 times in a row.

It's wild to me how many videos we see right now of ICE and other LEOs assukting unarmed civilians but with HLS claiming a 413% uptick in violence toward those same officers, not a blip of a clip to be see. Is it just on Fox News then? I don't watch that so maybe I am missing those damning videos.

Helping Paws, a local org that trains assistance dogs, confirms the Hortman’s family dog Gilbert died in the attack. Melissa was set to train him, but he became family instead. Helping Paws is starting a fund in their honor.

Fun Fact: Ducks are often seen standing still in the rain. Most think it’s because their waterproof feathers keep them dry and that staying still helps conserve energy, but we have our own theory🦆🌧️🐥 #naturalhabitok #naturalhabitat #naturalhabitatshorts

When I was a kid the thing I most wanted from Star Wars was a lightsaber but now I think I'd probably prefer a competent rebellion.

Dis face is worth waking up to every morning

The first Memorial Day, May 1, 1865.

That was in just 2 and a half months. 100,000 and the NYT wanted us all to know the number. Now they'd like us to forget the 2+million or so at this point because masks mean we can't see your face when you are serving us, where is your grateful smile for our business...

Saving for the kiddos out there!

Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely." Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.

Good morning !

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
