TAX FREE

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.

"It was not edible," Reese told The Associated Press in an interview. "You have to understand. I used to eat a Reese's product every day. This is very devastating for me."

Fuck. Hey Alabama friends.

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

let there be new flowering in the fields let the fields turn mellow for the men let the men keep tender through the time let the time be wrested from the war let the war be won let love be at the end —Lucille Clifton

HELLO, FRIENDS! The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this. www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

STOP MAKING ME LOOK AT RFK AND KID ROCK!!!!!

Here it is, your moment of zen.

thinking once again about how dem electeds don't idolize their own past presidents the way they do republican ones

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

Do you ever… get high and watch nature documentaries about the ocean? Jellyfish are INSANE bro

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

when people implore me to embrace AI i don’t even practically understand what they mean!! it’s like saying why don’t you like my aunt carol and i’ve never met her

If you walk into a man’s apartment and you don’t see ANY books, pick up your pussy and LEAVE!!! Go back outside!!!

The more I hang around with this crop of computer scientists, the more I realize that many of them are mad at: A teacher somewhere in their early education who made them read Their mom, who told them to do their homework A girl they wanted to date except she’s in the humanities, ugh

Rich people with Wellington south-coast beachside properties who lobbied for low rates for years are currently having aeresolised sewerage and salt blasted all over their soon-to-be uninsurable houses and gardens. The future is only gonna get worse from here but st least sometimes it's funny.

Oh but when hunter biden does it off some Latina titties it’s a national problem

called Denzel asked if Jesus is a zombie, and is Christianity the virus it spreads. his coworkers are arguing now and he's annoyed with me

I’m doing my usual body weight squats while I wait for my luggage. Earphones in. Standing far off to the side, out of the way. A man went out of his way to snag my (wired) headphones so I can hear him say, “you gotta hold that for ten seconds.” I hope all men like this burn in hell.

nearly a year of working on this wonderful project of archiving and digitizing my found photo collection of 20th century black life. to be a caretaker of something, someone is an extreme honor and privilege. grateful as the work stretches on another year.

Ebo Taylor, who did for Ghanaian music what his friend Fela Kuti did for Nigeria, has been called the greatest rhythm guitarist in history. His son Kweku Taylor: “The world has lost a giant, a colossus of African music, leaving behind an unmatched artistry legacy. Dad, your light will never fade.”

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

Everyone should own at least 3 really nice knives and at least one machete. Knives and machetes make perfect gifts, but *only* if they are nice and not cheap shit that can't actually hold an edge. You will certainly not regret giving everyone you know a tramontina machete for their birthday.

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

Laughing at the people who seem to think that the halftime show that took place in the sugarcane fields wasn’t political

I still haven't forgotten that he voted for the Laken Riley act.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.
