The crazy thing about humans is this: We could provide food, water, shelter, healthcare, & education to everyone on earth. The reason we don’t is because we’ve decided to put profits first. That’s it. The acquisition of bits of green paper over all else is a choice. Greed is holding us back.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

So, the President of the United States can now order the DOJ to investigate anyone who disagrees with and speaks out against him. Classic Weaponization of the DOJ. Did I get that right? #Fascism101

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

As an experienced activist, I’ll admit, I’m skeptical of this 1-day economic blackout. That said, I’m experienced enough to know that: 1) Sometimes I’m wrong 2) It’s good to experiment 3) I’ve done 1-day boycotts before (#FreePalestine) and this one seems to be hitting differently.

I physically cannot get over these videos where someone is looking emotionless with a post from someone else. It’s hard to describe that feeling you get where you look at something and just go “what is actually being shown to me right now?” Same thing with “people pointing at posts” videos.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.
