(...checking my GiveADamn...) Narrator: she's found it's busted

Keep in mind this has been happening to marginalized communities since our founding. SINCE OUR FOUNDING! But now it's happening to WHITE people. Black and brown people have been warning us FOREVER, and now the chickens have come home to roost.

Black bodies should have been enough for white people to be outraged.

What a VP he would have made! But I'm glad he's doing his best for the people of MPLS.

This is how it's done.

You see, if i were in Israel this is how id feel also about Netanyahu, or in Russia with Putain. These are evil men. They will not, nor cannot change. Its harder for people to removee such entities. The rest of the world needs to help by exclusion to bring change.

White woman says YES. Emphatic YES. Reams of exclamation marks YES.

Happy Handwriting Day. I can't help but wonder if "Handwriting Day" and this chap's famous signature aren't somehow related. And yes, it's true: he had taken a penmanship course. (but he probably wasn't still practicing)

He would have been 104 yesterday. She was born the day after his 31st.

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT… We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself. 📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

I Carry A Torch For You*

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Per a 1968 Harris Poll, Dr. Martin Luther King had a public disapproval rating of nearly 75%. The people today claiming it is divisive to condemn the triple evils he fought against—racism, poverty, and militarism—are the people who overwhelmingly hated him when he lived. #MLKDay

So this "pastor" has obviously never read his buybull.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent ….

Happy birthday, Edgar. Also Little Ricky Ricardo of "I Love Lucy" and Desi Arnaz Jr, son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

STAR TREK HAS GONE WOKE! SESAME STREET HAS GONE WOKE! STAR WARS HAS GONE WOKE! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE HAS GONE WOKE! Nothing will ever be funnier to me than these dipshits getting mad about shit that’s been “woke” since it’s been in existence.

My concern is whether I can safely get back *into* the US.

Germany sends troops to Greenland. Germany has seen this movie before. They played the bad guys then. They want a different role in the sequel.

I wish I'd read "Dark Flood" *before* visiting Boston.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

I've been mostly offline today and I saw Erik Von Daniken died. He was a virulent racist and bigot and a convicted felon, and his alien archaeology "theories" did incalculable harm to the field of archaeology. Those are his legacies.

If only there'd been indications how racism fuels him. Oh, wait... The majority of white American voters said: Not a deal breaker!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

People glibly talk about Millionaires, Billionaires and Musk's Trillion dollar deal! In context: $1M you could spend $1 per second for 11.7 days; $1B = $1 per sec fot 31.5 years; $1Tn = $1 per sec for 31,000 years... YES THIRTY ONE THOUSAND YEARS!!!

8th grade is when we studied the Constitution, and were required to pass the test in order to proceed to 9th grade. Good on these young people!!

Yes!

Leveling up in 2 weeks from yesterday.

American agrees. American who doesn't want to travel outside America because of what she would face trying to re-enter the country agrees.

She was murdered. A second by second video breakdown of the needless killing by an ICE agent of a woman attempting to leave. And then ICE agents prevented a physician from approaching her, to check her pulse. And then the responsible ICE agent departs the scene. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Make it viral.

Happy Old Rock Day. Photo by me 18 APR 2022.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent insurrection to overturn the results of a free and fair election he lost. Calling it anything else is a lie. (1/2)

Registering even let me know it's noon my time, so I didn't have to Google it!

Never forget this day. Never.

That's Commander *in* Chief, you feckin' eejit, Hegrath. And I thought we ditched that "peace through superior firepower" nonsense a couple or three decades ago.

Words. Definitions. #QOTD

Policy choices. 😑 Having the means to do good things & choosing the opposite is a policy & values choice. Miss me again with Republicans giving a crap about "family values".

Looks like fun!

According to Trump, I’m radical left scum. If you’re also radical left scum, then let’s follow each other and fight this regime together.

If white women would stop centering white men, other communities would access power. WE white women are the ones who need to stop promoting white men as our saviors. Which is exactly what you're doing. Stop carrying water for white men. We white women ARE the problem.

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.
