When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.

I don't think it's odd to be jealous of, but I also have had way more headaches than anyone should have to endure, so I get it

‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?

Trying to use less plastic?

Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.

“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

This shit about Hegseth blowing billions on crab legs, steak, lobster, etc explains why they keep accusing people on EBT of buying lobster and steak. These people project so hard. Every accusation really is a confession.

Anyone can become disabled at any time.

Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are.

People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher.

It’s not a moral failing.

It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

i think that one of the things that nobody in the mainstream talks about (yes i know we complain about it on here all the time if you think this is the mainstream oh boy) is how successfully politicians have divested themselves of any responsibility for anything at all

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) speaks during a press conference. PHOTO: Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability—

Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

All these wars are transparently about oil, we all know it, so they...bombed an oil refinery? And we're supposed to believe gas prices will go down? Right.

My hottest mental health take:

A lot of depression and anxiety is situational, and warranted, because people live in shit circumstances. They’re poor, without resources, etc. and the reason it’s become popular to blame “mental health” is because it’s a way of evading responsibility.

1) This is why aid and community care are so important.

2) Every single person who dies this way is a casualty of war, and the landlord who evicted them is a murderer.

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.

Republicans are so desperately uncool. If they weren't destroying our entire planet, I would feel bad for them. But they are, so I don't.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:

"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

Stop calling everything a distraction.

It's not funny or clever.
It's insulting to people's intelligence.
It minimizes what is actually going on.
It also discounts that some politicians are just evil and stupid.

Sometimes I wish I could slap people through the internet.

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

The next time they tell you there’s no money for healthcare, remember there was money to start a war with Iran.

The next time they tell you there’s no money for housing or social supports, remember there was money to bomb a girls elementary school.

There’s always money for war.

Bc of the war in the Middle East, people are now desperately scrambling for goods in Gaza. The specter of famine haunts us, and we fear it, and we fear anything that could cause a crisis. I hope this planet can live in peace. Everyone loses in war. I wish peace for all.

I find it incredibly odd that so many people want the leaders of Ukraine and Russia to be equally bad, but Iran is supposed to be some magically innocent little angel baby.

The leader of a country can be objectively bad. And it's still wrong to bomb them. Shocking, I know.
