People all over the world have less than I have, yet they have a dream for a better future.

If you believe the raptures is coming on Sept 23, then you can definitely prove your faith by sending me money via Venmo @QasimRashid or PayPal/Zelle at [email protected]. I promise I'll put it to good use like feeding the needy & caring for orphans—just as the Bible says. Happy Rapture!

It’s like a watergate level scandal every six hours plus he’s just straight up bombing boats full of civilians every few days

Would be nice to see the enthusiasm for SRM redirected toward methane abatement and urban heat island mitigation, neither of which are “magic bullets” like SRM, but both of which meaningfully complement the temporal and/or spatial scales of decarbonization benefits

Let this sink in: A president can apparently now order lethal force outside of congressionally declared wars, in international waters, without oversight, and face no personal criminal or civil liability—even if the action was blatantly illegal. trib.al/0GD9wIS

Because the far right takeover of media has occurred globally

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

The Morning Show called it “the Iran-Israel standoff in Gaza” Of all the mealy mouthed, cowardly names for the genocide

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

hi y’all 👋 i’ve gotten a ton of new followers over the past few weeks (seriously, it’s wild), so i thought i’d reintroduce myself. i’m a journalist + editor in chicago. i write about policing + surveillance + prisons + courts. i work for the @chicagoreader.com. here’s some of my work:

The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

People are in motion everywhere.

The US government is so afraid of diversity. That's their biggest line of attack, their first attack. This is how we know how to win. #RiseUpForDiversity

Kyle Reese: I’m from the future. AI has taken over. Sarah Connor: How are you gonna stop it? Kyle: Can you teach me to make a Zine? Sarah: Like with comics & songs & stuff? Kyle: That’ll do it. Sarah: You can kill the superintelligent robot with Zines. Kyle: Oh yeah. It’s actually pretty mid.

📽️ WATCH: Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past 20 years studying how parents’ exposure to toxic chemicals affects the chances that they will have an autistic child. RFK Jr. cut her entire division — yet promises to identify the causes of autism by September: https://propub.li/4nhXQua

"Fischer later learned from the owner of the company that all five of the detained workers were documented."

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

Black and dark-colored clothing helps you stay warm in the winter #GoodMagic

So we’re boycotting ALL things Disney now? The answer is yes. Yes, we are.

I also have a case right now, I am not joking, where another attorney argued - and a judge agreed - that a Muslim litigant should not be able to reschedule a deposition noticed for Eid because it's not a court holiday and none of the attorneys are Muslim. Things are getting BAD.

In case you're wondering how it's going, I was just told that taking off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is discriminating against Christian opposing counsel.

“I am familiar with the history of authoritarian leaders disappearing people they don’t like in Latin America, the part of the world that my family comes from. I wanted to think that doesn’t happen in this country. But what I had just witnessed felt uncomfortably similar”

UPDATE: Huffpo is reporting the Trump administration "plans to evacuate" the Broadview facility in the wake of recent protests. If you have info about where ICE's processing operations will be happening in the Chicagoland area after this move, I am KMHChi.01 on Signal.

Anti-trust action enables #RiseUpForDiversity

Only a white person would have the NERVE to ask Jasmine Crockett why she voted "no" to that bullshit.

"He never said that!" Ok, what did he say? "Oh, you know."

I'm reminded also of the struggle that often hits marginalized folks in media in the US: They will let you be tragic, they will let you be funny, but they won't let you be a full multidimensional person and they won't let you have your deeper culture nods without explaining it to them as tourists.

#RiseUpForDiversity and take action today

Recognizing Palestine. Recognizing genocide in Palestine. Ok, so are you going to stop it? Are you going to intervene? To withdraw your material support at the very least? Otherwise it’s just words.

This is ETHNIC CLEANSING and it must STOP NOW! #RiseUpForDiversity

El pueblo unido jamás será vencido.

put it in a museum

This! #RiseUpForDiversity

I want to cry but am forced to smile|I feel angry but I want to love|I'm hurt but there's hope #RiseUpForDiversity

Tooth pain in Gaza sounds so terrible chuffed.org/project/1230...

This entire Jimmy Kimmel situation shows, again, white folks can shut all this down whenever they want. But they won’t because they’re not against authoritarianism and hate. They’re just against it when it affects them.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Wrong

#RiseUpForDiversity and win

If this user were a white person who has consistently been defending marginalized groups, particularly in their own country, then this conversation would have never inspired a response out of them but since whiteness demands defense, loyalty, and perceived innocence, they lunged into action.

For the class: This is an example of how whiteness will use various tactics to derail a point in defense of its demanded innocence. Notice how this user moves the topics from white inaction to white disabled folks as if it excuses any criticism in op’s message. Notice how this is also a Canadian.

Exactly! The only way we win is to #RiseUpForDiversity
