U.S. taxpayers have spent $24 billion on Netanyahu's horrific war in Gaza. Instead of starving children, that money could pay for:

700,000 public housing units
500,000 low-income kids receiving health care
500,000 veterans receiving VA care
600,000 kids in Head Start

Combined.

"Real bitch does not mean real rich"

My partner keeps me from losing my job so much she should also get a paycheck

Yeah she and her family were originally big eagles fans until she started dating Travis.

Nextdoor app yesterday was a great way to gauge the racism in local neighborhoods. Big feelings and not a lot of brain power discussing the super bowl halftime show.

I've seen a lot of discourse on here but w/ the end goal being pretty similar. I find it valuable for the left to have a space to convene together to become more like-minded & realize the flaws we have in order to fix them.
I don't think it's necessary to have outside malicious influences involved

Following the CDC's removal of critical health data and the potential approval of RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, it is crucial to access accurate health information from independent sources such as the WHO, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, and peer-reviewed journals.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Woman holding home made sign that states "if ICE agents are conducting raid in your area, need help locating someone in ICE custody, or report ICE activity call hotline 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693). Hotline operators speak English, Spanish, Korean and more..."

that's the exact reference I've been using, can't help but feel like it's about to be a nightmare

James Baldwin: "I take my queue from Jesus Christ who told me, told all of us, to love each other, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and visit those in prison.

If you can't do that, you're not a believer. I don't care what church you go to."

People Have Had Non-Binary Genders for Thousands of Years It's nothing new.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon.

But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

I had learned the terms from Black creators on other platforms during BLM marches and thought they were preferred but I see now that it wasn't widely used. I apologize that I didn't do better research into the terms.

The play that Trump just pulled, making himself look like the savior of TikTok when he's been its foremost opponent, reminds me of what he did when he put his name on the stimulus checks. Don't underestimate the ability of moves like this to trick people.

I've seen this film before... and I didn't like the ending.

I fear that BIWOC will be extremely shadowbanned on any future version of TT, an absolute disservice to the good of society.
Women who look like me will need to amplify and share content created by all BIPOC if we truly want a way forward.

Great information, AND with their search function for local independent bookstores, I just found local shop to support that I had not known about!

Yes, prior to yesterday. I was an avid user of Twitter before Musk drove it to flames (much like his vehicles) so I jumped on threads initially but came here for the old-school Twitter vibes.

This and TT were my 2 most used apps.

Liberals can be elitist, most Americans have it ingrained no matter party lines.

Do the thing. Post videos here if you'd like to keep that format. Just make sure your voice is heard, via text or sound.

a man says that 's exactly what i needed in front of a black background Alt: a man says that 's exactly what i needed in front of a black background

I would actually watch it if we got Pearlmania in there screaming in their faces.

That's precisely it. They'll get it back up and running but TT will never be the same. They'll censor what is said more than ever before and promote propaganda for the Trump administration so heavy. They'll delete all mention of genocides being committed, or war crimes by the US and Trump's friends.

This is hysterical.

The President of Mexico was spotted wearing a “Make America Mexicana Again.”

🤣

Just for the record, my position is "Free Palestine" not "Say They'll Stop Bombing Palestine For A Bit But Continue To Regardless Because Nobody Will Face Accountability For The Genocide"
