omg, this is so awful 🤬

If you can’t act in solidarity with Diana Crespo, age 7? Demanding her freedom from imprisonment? Then act in solidarity with her cat- who needs his girl back home, because he loves her and doesn’t understand why ICE is inflicting this violence against her and so him.

This is it.

And the founders also never really envisioned a system like industrial and post-industrial capitalism that would be *fundamentally at odds* with their vision of a democratic republic.

Which is why capitalism must be dismantled.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Which science fiction novel is this a subplot of? That's the only analog I have for this scenario.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Truly. Does dude's internet not include any search engines?

My sibling in struggle... there is no ethical consumption under late stage capitalism. So sorry you didn't like the particular assembly of shitty rent-seeking hegemonic tools I used to do this free labor for you. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A lock of wool from a Polwarth sheep

Let’s talk about 🐏 WOOL🐑 a 🧵 in multiple parts (if I can figure out how to do a thread)

When I was a vegan, I never bought wool, assuming it to be unethical and exploitative somehow. Now I know better. Wool reveals its secrets and is a literal record of the sheep’s life, nutrition and care. (Cont.)

It was a choice between status quo and the appearance of integrity or paying tens of millions of dollars to look like spineless losers with no integrity and you all shit the bed

Every university that capitulated to Trump’s financial demands looks so fucking stupid right now

as a reminder if you need cheering up you can just image search "Polish chickens" and it's completely free

ARTHROPOD 2: I’m gonna evolve sharp pincers and use them to crunch stuff! ARTHROPOD 3: I’m gonna evolve glands to make string from my butt and use it to construct elaborate geometric nets hundreds of times my size to catch other animals.

... smoosh. 🥰

he's such a whiny little bitch

Oh, ok - let's see how that goes, sweetie. 🍿

Yes ... and he is also not doing the job of being president. He has no idea what people are saying he has said, he doesn't make policy, he has given the reins to Miller

craziest part about life in my opinion is all the things that happen

Lets GO

truly.

It was an assertion that there should not be a Black History Month.

Happy Black History Month!

They left an elderly US citizen on her way to pay her rent with a torn rotator cuff and a concussion. This was in Salem, Oregon. Absolutely no one should vote to fund these lawless thugs.

Wonder why? /s
