Man with golden toilet complains about number of toys American children get at Christmas

If ghosts were real, the shade of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who founded the Special Olympics, would haunt her eugenicist nephew RFK Jr and curse him to hell and beyond

Just heartbroken for them...

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

Please do something more than just sit there in the SOTU. The entire party should get up en masse and walk out. Take the news cycle away from this tyrant.

77 million voters sold America down the river because they love Donald Trump.

‘This moment is medieval’: Jackson Katz on misogyny, the manosphere – and why men must oppose Trumpism The result of the US election unleashed a ferocious feminist backlash, he says, and makes his 40-year struggle to end violence against women more urgent than ever

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

Good morning America...💙

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Hey DEMS do you maybe want to cut the recess short and organize to stop this coup?!

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

We’re gonna have to march.

Got a dream, a vision, a plan for making your family's and your neighbor families' lives better?

Let's talk with them about it. Sharpen it.

Recognize allies. Agree to push improvements together.

Cut through the obstacles.

Better (and worse) worlds are possible. The recent one is gone.

The future is more fluid & contested now than in many decades.

Many old political conventions & constraints are dead. Change is afoot.

Americans must dream, design, refine, inspire, & organize how to improve our communities at all scales & on all fronts.

Democracy like our lives depend on it.

Not since people were dying from the high price of insulin and politicians were tweeting about it have I been at this level of FUCKING DO SOMETHING!!!

Both my kids have relied heavily on special education programs and my wife runs a special education nonprofit, so if you tell me that the Trump assault on special education is just a “distraction” I’m going to block you into the fucking sun.

When autocratization is reversed: episodes of U-Turns since 1900 The world is in a “wave of autocratization.” Yet, recent events in Brazil, the Maldives, and Zambia demonstrate that autocratization can be halted and reversed. This article introduces “U-Turn” as ...

"A key finding is that 52% of all autocratization episodes become U-Turns, which increases to 73% when focusing on the last 30 years. The vast majority of U-Turns (90%) lead to restored or even improved levels of democracy"

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up.

Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years.

Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.

It's abuse.

This is abuse.

Welcome!

simple point i tried to convey in the post I just shared. if someone does a nazi salute at a political rally, i don't need to do a critical biography or do some deep dive on why they did it. if you want a research project, sure, whatever. but that doesn't matter. They did it. Thats all that matters.

Could the arc of the moral universe be a little shorter please
