When I first read this 30 years ago, it was clearly SciFi. Re-reading it now, it feels like a different genre. (also, it holds up: Atwood is a great writer)

THESE ARE DESCENDANTS OF THE CONFEDERACY… yearning for a White America, b/c they believe they’re superior. They march in close formation b/c they’re afraid of being pulled apart. They’re cowardly punks w/masks, trying to intimidate POC. DON’T LET THEM. #VoteBlue #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited 👇🏼

4 MONTHS FROM TODAY are the Midterm Elections. Make sure you & everyone you know are registered to VOTE. VOTE for Dems to take back the House & Senate. VOTE to hold the most corrupt individual ever to occupy the WH accountable! VOTE to let our country to begin to heal. 🇺🇸 On 11/3/26: VOTE BLUE 🌊

We celebrate America's 250 Our “land of the free” Yet freedoms are leaking thru every seam we see. The people’s house shines like a royal throne The Statue of Liberty weeps as fear chills every immigrant bone If we want this union to endure much longer The chorus of resistance must grow stronger.💪🏻🗽

The story about Five Home Farage and being funded by a criminal, and of course the £5billion for nothing donation. It makes you go back and think of all the coverage he got a fews years ago about his rich person bank account and why it was closed by the bank... Hmmm 🤔

This is our extraordinary 🌎 Why are we destroying it? #ClimateCrisis #Metacrisis

A crook saying that Farage is not a crook is a) unbelievable and b) indicative that Farage only associates with crooks ..

"Organic dairy" means her calf is still taken within 24–48 hours.

Isn't it about time the UK began arresting perpetrators of genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, obliteration of schools & hospitals, mass child murder instead of arming them ... meme via Yunus Elias

Trump warns America is UNDER THREAT...the threat is from him.

1/ Five years into the full-scale war in Ukraine, the Russian army appears to be exhausted and in low morale. An account from a serving Russian soldier at the front line highlights the current mood of dejection and frustration with incompetent commanders. ⬇️

SNYDER: The times when Russia tried to reform have been after defeats in Crimean War, Russo-Japanese War, and in Afghanistan. If you want Russia to have a chance to reform, it has to lose the war. So, you have to help Ukraine win. The best Russia policy is strong Ukraine policy.

We had no choice but to rely on our own innovation and domestic production. Taking the fight directly to Russia’s energy infrastructure and dictating our own tactical strategy has been a hard fought turning point. We fight on our own terms now. 🇺🇦

Really sad news. The cancellation follows the BBC's announcement that a number of programmes would be dropped as part of its ‘evolving commissioning strategy’

We witness the slaughter, mutilation, and starvation of Palestinian children as if it were no more than an unsettling news story – shocking to look at, but detached from any claim upon our conscience or sense of compassion.

Italy and Switzerland are building solar panels into railbeds. Here,in the 18th century,we are building coal fired locomotives

🇫🇷🇺🇦 Zelensky: I spoke with the President of France. Emmanuel clearly knows all the details of what the diplomatic prospects are now. Our position is that Europe must be in the process of diplomacy, and Europe's voice must matter. We discussed protection of life and need for additional air defense.

He was rescued with nothing. Now he’s got a full bowl, a warm bed, and a smile that says he knows it. You are not invisible. We found you. hfu.org

Canary director Steve Topple has explained more about Lloyds debanking us — and what the wider implications are

The only way that we will EVER make progress is by acknowledging that our country was founded on white supremacy, patriarchy, and the ethnic cleansing of Black and brown people ACROSS THE WORLD. Nobody is illegal on stolen land. #WiseUp #RiseUp #Revolt ❤️✊️❤️

Trump absolutely desecrated America’s 250th birthday. Instead of praising the USA he turned it into a pathetic midterm ego rally, claiming 375K people showed up to a half empty venue that holds 150K. The narcissist bragged, lied about crowd sizes, and made the country’s anniversary all about himself

My dog was extremely tired, but just had to follow me into the bathroom in the middle of the night.. 😂

While Trump flew to a mountain to wish his face onto it, the regime lost in four places at once: a federal court, a New Orleans grand jury, the Capitol steps, and George Washington's desk. We put the whole bad week in one place.

A car is one of the largest purchases you’ll likely make as a consumer. If you choose to spend that $50,000 on a Tesla, you’re choosing to support child genocide. Not buying a Tesla is one of the easiest things you can do to not be a garbage human being.

The biggest difference between men and women's football is that women don't fall on the ground writhing around in fake agony when tackled.

MAGA: Trump isnt a rapist. Supreme Court: Yes he is. The end

July 4th, 2026, Washington DC. Patriot Front ride the metro to their hateful little march. Her face sums it all up to me. A mixture of defiance and weariness. Both born out of lifetimes of having to put up with this shit. She knows that America never stopped being a racist country. Photo-Cheney Orr

BREAKING: TRUMP MISQUOTES DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE REPUBLICANS DON'T NOTICE. "And as our Declaration of Independence tells us," Trump said, "we are all made in the image of one almighty god. And a communist will never say that." Maybe he needs a class (third grade) in elementary civics?

April 18, 1955 - Einstein dies (age 76) from a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. When asked if he wanted to undergo surgery, Einstein refused, saying, "I want to go when I want to go. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share; it is time to go. I will do it elegantly."

King Donald the Mad confuses the Bible with the Declaration of Independence, while his audience, who have never read either document, cheer.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn't invited. 💒

Many say it is the UK's greatest achievement. On the 5th of July 1948 50 million people woke up to a National Heath Service. #NHS #NHSbirthday

Chewy makes sure you get your money's worth when you order kittens. Look at this packing job.

What most Americans know about EVs is propaganda from the fossil fuel industry mortified at the prospect of loss of their leading source of sales. Now that millions of electric vehicles have been on the road for a decade or more, we have the data to check in on how their batteries are holding up.

Small in size, immense in impact. Every bee helps sustain the balance of nature, supports biodiversity, and secures the food systems we rely on every day. Protect every bee. Protect the future.

What do I want? Democratic socialism! When do I want it? 25 years ago but I’ll take now!

I really want to thank my city for cancelling its fireworks display due to fire danger. A huge portion of our state is on fire right now and we don't need more.

One of the world's oldest wolf subspecies, the Himalayan wolf treks extreme altitudes to bring food back to its pups. Family survival at its rawest.

Zionists calling #concentrationcamps “humanitarian shelters” is really something… One base for the foreign forces has already been built, and the Board of Peace has "begun identifying sites" for the establishment of large logistics warehouses for regulating the camps.

Blatant BBC bias ensuring that anti-worker, misogynist, racist propaganda keeps filling the airwaves "The Liberal Democrats have 71 MPs. Reform have 8. Not an opinion poll. A fact." via Reform Are Not Your Friends

Donald brags about the Revolutionary War battle at Yorktown without mentioning the vital role our ally France played in that victory. He does that because he is appallingly ignorant—and too delusionary crass and friendless to appreciate the value of allies.

As a metadata librarian, I am thinking of re-classifying from Fiction to Current Events.

Democrats need to take this narrative, and flip it. How many people in this country can't afford healthcare and, when did that happen? Who attacked Iran and when, and how much has gas gone up? How much money has the Trump family made since he got back to the WH, and did your paycheck go up?

Silence is never an option. Every time we call out intolerance, we make our communities a little safer and a lot stronger. 💙
