100% of copper mines have polluted water downstream. This mine will be no different. And why? So Twin Metals' Chilean parent company can profit by shipping our copper ore to China to be smelted and sold on the global market. It’s up to Congress to permanently protect the Boundary Waters.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

The Cost of Living Crisis is fake, the Energy Companies boosted their profit margins by 4.5x, Supermarkets quadrupled their profits, and now we are paying their excess profits forever.

The level of organization here is impressive. I hope someone in this Minneapolis/St. Paul effort is writing down a field manual of best practices - what the military would call doctrine - so that when ICE moves on, other places can replicate the tactics that work and iterate on them.

We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.

if it took "oh god, they could come after someone like me" to finally get you to a place of action, welcome you are going to be asked to sit with that and reflect, and that's okay! it shouldn't offend you. it should motivate you to expand your analysis on other current events as well. that's good!

JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)

I'm not emotionally attached to the White House as a structure or piece of architecture but I definitely don't care for what is for all intents and purposes Donald Trump scooting his itchy dog asshole all over the most recognizable national symbols

So when a new story breaks, as it has today, that Trump is going to use US taxpayer money, paid with 500% tariffs on Chinese goods, to set up a victory fund for Ukraine, people need to first and foremost say it is most likely BS. united24media.com/latest-news/...

I think two things are true: 1. young republicans were always terrible and racist 2. young republicans become openly hitler-loving groypers is in fact a new and alarming development that is worth paying attention to

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Hind Rajab should have won the Nobel Peace Prize. A 5 year old trapped in a car and shot 355 times by Israel while they murdered the Paramedics who tried to help her. This sacrifice should have ended Israel and the war.

There should be a way station for people with guts who get fired by Trump for having guts. Otherwise, it’s like stepping off into thin air and hoping you find a soft landing. Private sector employers who hire the Trump victims, also need to brave, but I suspect there are more everyday.

Fact: The reason Republicans want to make healthcare less accessible is because they want to reduce your ability to escape from the corporate feifdom. The next step is to restore--and increase--the power of corporations to require and enforce non-compete clauses. They want slaves with nowhere to go.

One, that's not how copyright works and there will be an entire battalion of IP lawyers who will be happy to correct Open AI of this misapprehension, likely to the tune of billions of dollars, and two, fuck this shitty thieving waste of proteins and lipids

Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.

So, why is the Trump Administration gifting Argentina $20 billion dollars for “infrastructure” when Natives on the Navajo Nation Reservation must have water trucked in because reservation water is polluted from decades of non-Native mining?

The result of NATO countries' naivety in thinking that passivity would appease an aggressive, militarily expansionist terror state is the regular violation of NATO airspace, as well as the attack on peaceful Ukrainian cities last night by more than 500 drones and approximately 24 missiles.
