Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

Broken record territory rapidly approaching, but once again: Homelessness is not a societal inevitability. It's a policy failure.

This is a solvable issue with a known solution, even under capitalism, because that solution is less expensive than the current responses.

We just don't want to do it.

πŸ€”A lot of transphobes that kept it under wraps are just completely crashing out over Gavin Newsom.

If one individual trans person says, "I will never vote for Gavin Newsom." and that makes you go "I HATE YOUR WHOLE COMMUNITY! ALL OF YOU!" Then this had nothing to do with Gavin Newsom.

Be for real.

Trump's argument for the elimination of the estate tax is that the heirs of the super rich will no longer have to go beg a predatory Jewish banker for a bridge loan to overcome cash flow problems associated with the $15 million dollar estate they're about to get.

the Senate's small-state ultra-bias is never more maddening than when one senator uses it to get benefits for her 740,000 constituents while openly acknowledging the bill she's supporting will harm the nation's 339 million other residents.

Almost twice as many people live in my Virginia county as live in Wyoming.

My county should have two senators.

74 killed in Gaza as Israeli forces strike a cafe and fire on people seeking food The cafe, one of the few businesses to continue operating during the 20-month war, was a gathering spot for residents seeking internet access and a place to charge their phones.

#ICYMI Happy summer solstice! 🌞

🌍 This year's solstice happened at exactly 04:42 CEST on 21 June, the moment the Sun reached its northernmost point in the sky.

Viewed from space, these images capture a full year of shifting light and shadow, from one June solstice to the next πŸ§ͺπŸ”­

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

something that stands out about this is just how cheap it is for us to have world-leading scientific capacity

we spent ~6.75 trillion last year, and the combined budgets for NIH, NSF and NASA are barely more than 1% of that

what an incredible waste to lose it all for a drop in the bucket

All they have to do now is automate gerrymandering, redlining, or any other discriminatory practice to avoid being held accountable.
