The lesson that the systemically oppressed already know: if embodying excellence, goodness, and light were enough to grant you full humanity and equality under the law you'd be free already.

I hope people are starting to understand it will take more than four years and one new president to fix everything broken in this country.

This is bad not just because of the direct infections but there's growing research that suggests vaccines also stave off things (like dementia) that we don't typically associate with vaccine prevention.

Israeli attacks on Gaza killed at least 11 Palestinians Wednesday, including three journalists who were working with the Egyptian Committee for Gaza Relief. Mohammad Qeshta, Abdul Ra’ouf Shaath and Anas Ghunaim were killed when an Israeli missile struck their vehicle.

The terrorist regime in Iran is now very actively attacking Wikipedia to destroy the truthful account of their autrocities and massmurdering of civilians, which has been going on for decades. This is information terrorism and a crime against our common human history.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines. This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Back in 2007 Fox News did a segment on how Mr. Rogers, who died in 2003, was "evil" & was the source of many of America's problems.

Another reason to be anti-monarchist

This isn't just near Independence Hall. It's where Washington stayed while president, kept slaves, posted bounty ads for runaways, and rotated them back and forth to VA to evade PA's manumission law. This is what it's known for, this specific location's primary historical significance is slavery.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

The Trump administration chartered a private jet owned by an Israeli American businessman to deport eight Palestinians to the occupied West Bank this week, new reporting says. The case was described as “highly unusual,” and is estimated to have cost roughly $300,000.

Anyone gotten screwed over by Lufthansa in this specific way: Your checked bags aren't loaded on your flight, forcing you to buy clothes/toiletries til they arrive, then Lufthansa denies the compensation they owe you for those purchases (required by their GCC & the Montreal Convention)? Post here!
