Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

But let’s be clear: every day, masked ICE agents are acting violently against our neighbors, illegally abducting them, holding them in cruel and inhumane conditions. Treating them as less-than-human, and not deserving due process.

The epidemic of AI book covers with the Black book community should be studied.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

Terrific piece, especially this part.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

DON’T PANIC OVER POLIO AUGUST 1 1948 CHARLES NEVILLE DON’T PANIC OVER POLIO CHARLES NEVILLE THOUSANDS of parents this month will lose weight, sleep and peace of mind worrying about a disease which kills far fewer Canadian children each year than the common whooping cough. Poliomyelitis, the mysterious childhood crippler which more frequently maims than it kills, reaches its seasonal peak during the hot, humid days of midand late summer. It is then that a doctor, called to the bedside of a feverish sickly child who complains of stiff muscles, is most likely to shake his head and pronounce the words a parent dreads: infantile paralysis.

Some parts of society have always tried to downplay diseases. History has almost always proven them wrong.

TransUnion says hackers stole 4.4 million customers' personal information | TechCrunch The credit reporting giant confirmed unauthorized access to a third-party application storing the personal information of its customers.

NEW: Credit reporting giant TransUnion has confirmed a data breach involving more than 4.4 million customers' personal information. TransUnion claims "no credit information was accessed" in the late-July breach, which it said involves its U.S. consumer support operations.

Every day is a new opportunity to scream ceaselessly in my head while I sit at work in the midst of the atrocities this country is committing.

Words cannot explain the ways I broke down when I was learning about the history of anti-black racism in Canada, America, & Europe. Our regular school systems barely scratched the surface (on purpose).

When people say “it’s not that deep”.. it’s deeper than the shallowest pits of hell & it is

You can’t be pro-Union and also shill for ai in schools. It’s just not coherent. We all know how dangerous ai is to people’s brains, the environment, and to the artists whose work was stolen to train it.

Shilling for ai makes you a SCAB

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Remembering Chadwick Boseman, who we lost 5 years ago today. 🕊️

This just reminded me that Circuit City went out of business in 2009, so people used to put it down as a previous employer during the Great Recession because there was nobody to call and verify employment history. And now I’m wondering what the equivalent might be during the next economic collapse.

I really like the approach this guy took. Also my man covered some ground tbh.

This should be an Onion headline, yet….

WHY AM I FUNDING WAR CRIMES WHEN I COULD BE FUNDING FREE SHIT FOR THE PEOPLE IN NEED H E R E

We don’t need to have a base on every single continent in the world. We don’t. Every war the US has been involved in since 1945 could’ve been solved if we minded our own business and talked to other world leaders

If billionaires paid their fair share (which is like 90% of their wealth, assets included), SNAP, free healthcare, free college would be chump change for us. If we cut half of our military spending, we could have free and accessible housing.

“Why should people have access to SNAP benefits? what about the freeload—“ WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT THEM?!?!?!???? So WHAT!!!!!!! Literally kiss my Black ass and keep your hands out of broke people’s business.
