After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Ms. Rachel: As the American Academy of Pediatrics says, there is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. The Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.

I love reading novels. I’m always amazed by folks who don’t read fiction. There is nothing better, to me, than being in the middle of a book that you can’t wait to return to. It’s like living two lives at once.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

I used to work at a popular hotel in Milwaukee, so I have a lot of these! I was working at the front desk when Tommy Chong walked up to me and said, “I need to pay for my room service, man” as he checked out of his hotel room. It was the highlight of my day!

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’
Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

I’m seeing a whole lot of “but what about” posts on here today. We’ve reached the point of fascism (a long time ago, honestly) when things are really bad for a lot of people. Someone naming how it’s bad for them isn’t taking anything from you. Solidarity with each other is the way out of this.

Mono Lake, CA near Yosemite. Salt formations rise from the shallow waters of the lake. The setting sun casts pink and purple colors across both the sky and the water. 

This is truly one of those hidden gem type places that Yosemite visitors never see.

Claudette Colvin was 15 when she refused to give up her seat. A child was asked to accept injustice. She refused. History didn’t spotlight her the way it should have. Courage came first. Civil rights pioneer who helped ignite the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #V4V
Side-by-side portrait of civil rights pioneer Claudette Colvin. On the left is a black-and-white photo of Colvin as a teenager wearing glasses. On the right is a later-life color portrait of her wearing a gray jacket with a red collar. A black band at the bottom contains the quote: “I knew then and I know now that when it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it.” - Claudette Colvin.

A traveller cannot tell by sight whether a person is disabled. People use wheelchairs because they can walk, but only for short distances; because they can walk, but it's painful; because they can stand, but not walk. They're still disabled.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Does anyone know- is this for foreign tourists only, or for anyone coming into the US - as in, does this includes American citizens entering the US too? I think it’s a BS policy and absolute invasion of privacy either way, just wondering what to expect the next time I go back to visit family.
