"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

The Korean article on the Hyundai raid explained MAGA as a movement seeking to overturn the civil rights movement and I still haven’t found a better description

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970 The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23 They constantly let America down

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Shop at Lush please

Lush has launched a trans flag bath bomb to help support transgender and gender-diverse people around the world. 75% of the sale price of the Lush Liberation vegan bath bomb will be donated to organisations that advocate for transgender rights, including TransActual, My Generation and TENI

The best donation I make right now is going to Democracy Docket.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Texas Dems! Proud of all of you! Thank you.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

Worldwide, up to 1.7% of people have intersex traits, roughly the same proportion of the population who have red hair. JKR has red hair.

'We don’t know if your baby’s a boy or a girl'? For generations, children with male and female characteristics have been assigned a sex at birth. Is there an alternative? Parents, doctors and intersex adults share their experiences www.theguardian.com/world/2016/j...

it has been said over and over but it’s worth reiterating in the face of this horrifying decision: RFK is quite literally joining the war on cancer on the side of cancer

Yes, the two party duopoly is broken. I’ve been saying for years we need a 3rd & even a 4th political party. But @elonmusk is an utterly dishonest broker/divider/spreader of dangerous disinformation. Anyone joining him & his new “political party” should have their head examined.
