doing community organizing can be such a brutal task sometimes. you volunteer your time freely and people still demand more and more without ever giving thanks for what you've done. it doesn't matter that you get nothing out of it, for some people your best is never enough

My latest investigation goes deep on what it takes to support the expansion of Belize's marine protected areas as part of the 2021 Blue Bond. It looks at the work and innovations taking place as the country aims to protect 30% by 2026.

Cigarettes used to be cheap enough that you could give a whole pack out to each trick or treater instead of just one or two loosies. Failed fucking empire

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.

FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.

Where’s the outrage about that?!

The image of the US as a beacon of democracy and freedom was always a myth but this video shows how quickly people will normalize the kidnapping of others because intervening would be inconvenient.

Mustn’t miss one’s flight.

You’re welcome. Apologies for the auto correct on your name in my first post. Have a good one.

I was using #facebook for marketing research for my day job when I got a request to submit a video to prove I’m human.

With m reluctance, I went through with it so I can finish my work. now Meta is telling me they gotta review the info.

AI sucks. Corporate control of social media too

So glad for felled-Martin getting all this love. I first read her writing in the intro for mirror mirror 2. It led me to her film criticism (the Akira essay being one of my favorites), and now she’s writing acclaimed novels. On top of all that, she curates the best online biweekly film club.

Those in the global majority already knew Gates was a piece of shit by his neocolonial dealings so this is not a new face. He’s showing it to some Americans for the first time.

None of these rich white men will live forever but they’ll never say there’s a limit to how much they spend on that.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Cake is always good, but post submission cake? Divine.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

AND Miller sucks far worse and has done far more harm to more people. I was actually really bummed about the De Niro thing in Barbuda but rich white guys gonna neocolonize. Hard for them to resist.

Robert De Niro Is Building a $250 Million Hotel on Princess Diana’s Favorite Beach The two-time Oscar winner has chosen the tiny island of Barbuda, once a favorite of Princess Diana, for his new ultra-luxurious hotel project, The Beach Club Barbuda.

De Niro is a great actor, but shitty in typical rich guy ways. He’s a major investor in a project displacing Barbudans from their land with the help of the Antiguan govt. Barbudans have constitutionally protected collective land ownership that this infringes on.

You can *care* about many things and you can only take concrete & sustained action on 1 or 2 things.

Threads post from julieceye At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Eminem warned us all about white America way back when and now we live to sow its unwillingness to be anything but mediocre Nazi boyz.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

US imports tonnes of fish from the Caribbean and Central/South America. Do they think people will continue to risk their lives to fish as these extrajudicial murders continue?

This is not normal. Our region doesn’t deserve this, especially at a time when climate change is harming our frontlines.

I asked a source for an upcoming story who was benefiting from a recent program for frontline communities. He replied saying one of the major hotels in the old capital. I wake up today to read of another ‘workshop’ that took place there. Those $5 Johnny cakes won’t eat themselves.
