You can tell the cop is racist by his hat and uniform and the fact that he's a cop.

The reward for waking up early was a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. Sunlight streamed down the bridge, seagulls flew in the distance, and my heart soared too. This is how a San Francisco morning should begin.

what is going on

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

fantastic what now

a study in 2020 (www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/11/...) found huge companies like Walmart and McDonald’s paid such low wages that their employees were among the top enrollees of medicaid and food stamps. tell companies to stop freeloading off the system and take care of their employees. problem solved!

Corporations using small Black neighborhoods as dumping grounds for their stupid AI data centers is nothing new. They built highways through Black neighborhoods. Destroyed a Black neighborhood to build Central Park. Dumped waste sites and refineries near Black neighborhoods. It's always the same.

what if instead of shutting HAL down, David Bowman wanted him to use more slurs

Is it for yelling at brands? Because that would be the best use of that name.

Keith David’s reaction to receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So deserved! Thank you for your work and impact! 👏

Side note: Carl Stokes was the first black mayor of a major U.S. city. He didn’t consider himself an environmentalist; he was focused on the needs of the urban poor. But he became an environmental justice pioneer by drawing attention to the impact of environmental problems on communities of color.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1969: The heavily polluted Cuyahoga River catches fire due to trapped debris and oil slicks, likely ignited by a passing train. It was not unusual, extinguished quickly and caused little damage, but it became a symbol for the Clean Water movement. /1

Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

100% of Black people self censor at work. Its a job site not your personal safe space, snowflake.

I have no spirituality or anything that gives my life meaning or structure

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

This is a real tension in the right wing coalition. The racist wing wants honest to God deportations of all Latinos, the business wing wants *the threat of* deportations as a way to create a group of second class laborers they can exploit with no rights.

Aren't the Police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite? Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?

Former Chicago cop Eric Tabb was arrested in December 2023 and fired. Investigative files show that five of 17 women in his police academy class have given similar accounts of inappropriate sexual contact involving Tabb. New, @propublica.org @invisible.institute

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

For every 10 heavily-armed tactical goons you see on the ground, there's at least one sniper positioned on a rooftop nearby, and one man or woman in plainclothes who is mixed in with the crowd. Stay frosty. Look up and look around. There were rooftop snipers in San Diego this week.

DID you know that someone can be a regular and heavy user of a substance and not be addicted? Stop throwing the term “addict” at people. You’re an asshole.

Folks at Princeton have put together an aggregator to highlight example of how federally funded research has directly impacted people's lives. They are looking for more studies to highlight, so send along suggestions and help make the benefits of science more visible! publicusaresearchbenefits.com

Columbus was so cruel that the people who created the Inquisition thought he deserved to be imprisoned for life. Also, Columbus Day only became a holiday because a group of white supremacists lynched a bunch of Italian immigrants, and the United States was terrified of going to war with Italy.

This is the world that people like JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, and Jesse Singal work every day to achieve
