Screenshot of a tweet by James Tate reading, “An educated populace is a threat to power.” The tweet includes a quoted graphic stating that ICE is offering a $45,000 signing bonus and $100,000 starting salary, compared to a teacher earning $55,000 in their eighth year with a master’s degree, arguing that education has been intentionally defunded.

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:

Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.

Make. Friends.

Text of the 13th Amendment: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” The clause “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” is crossed out.

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.”

We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

The latest evidence that America is becoming a land of idiots:

I’ve been reposting all of the crowd videos of today’s NO KINGS rallies because at some point they’ll try to say it didn’t happen.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Henlo i do need comms! I’ve got options here!!! Pls have a look

An illustration featuring Zevran Arainai and Warden Ulric Cousland from Dragon Age Origins sort of squished in -- what appears to be a second level of backalley?? SORT OF? Because this is how Zevran tells this story anyway. The whole scene is set into Antiva - so the architecture is stylized to look like Venice with the red and teal tones, white ledges and cracked walls. Ulric - the warrior with a massive scar on his face, is standing on some sort of convenient portal in the alley, leaning against the wall, while Zevran, the blond elven rogue dressed in a cape slid (or climbed? one never knows with Zev) down the alley and his holding himself up in between the two walls, dagger stabbed on one side above Ulric's head for leverage. Their faces are *very* close to each other, about to kiss, Ulric caressing Zev's chin playfully. The sun is lighting up Zev's hair. The alley is partly overgrown by ivy. In the foreground there are little ropes with little flags.

"You could have waited inside, my dear Warden."
"And where's the fun in that, huh? I thought I'd meet you halfway, save some time."
"Oh, a perfect moment to waste that time now, then."

Help. I'm so deep.

the corollary to the absolutely true “one day, everyone will always have been against this” is that they’ll also never truly forgive you for being loud and right long before they were, unless you play along and pretend for them

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Trump is now posting private mortgage documents from Adam Schiff, and I URGE people who have less self-control than Pavlov's dogs to EMPHASIZE that it is likely a crime for him to have accessed these docs, if you do post them.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

You can tell from his gleeful tone that he just LOVES being the world's biggest dickhead.

Infographic titled "Do You Need A Measles Booster?" with #DrKimsKids. An arrow points up for "Born Before 1957," stating "NOPE. You were probably already exposed to measles." The arrow continues down through "Vaccinated Between 1957-1962," stating "MAYBE. Check with your doctor"; "Vaccinated Between 1963-1967," stating "YES! The measles vaccine you received is considered ineffective and you will need a booster"; "Vaccinated Between 1968-1989," stating "MAYBE. Check with your doctor"; and "Vaccinated After 1989," stating "NOPE. If you received two doses, your vaccines are considered effective."

Grabbed this chart to help people understand if they need a booster.

Nothing justifies killing more than 20,000 children. Nothing justifies burning children alive. Nothing justifies starving nearly a million children. Nothing. Not self defense. Not human shields. Not a damn thing.

Someone could probably murder me if they just offered to show me some kittens tbh

Most people don't need to be concerned about the plague based on a recent death in Arizona. But take precautions if you live in areas where it's been found. cnn.it/4lUVY9A
