If you’re transphobic? A boot licker? Someone who can’t form their own opinion? Save everyone’s time and just own it. Say it for the world to hear. It’s much easier than trying to justify your hatred and bigotry with some bullshit. ✌🏼

The good news…we are halfway to our goal The bad news…we are only halfway to our goal and the first round of local kids go back within 2 weeks. Help me send kids back to school ready to learn

Remember I said I was nervous to start the back to school fundraiser and so many encouraged me to just post it. It's been up for 24 hours and only 1 donation. 2 years ago we raised $21k, last year we only raised under $6k. Yea, i'm nervous now. gofundme.com/f/team-mari-ba…

As two-thirds of the U.S. endures a massive heat wave, Exxon is reporting $7.87 billion in quarterly profits. And while the working class suffers from a climate crisis caused by fossil fuels, Exxon is spending $16 billion on buybacks and dividends to reward wealthy shareholders.

We have officially hit 25% of the way to our goal and so far can cover about 250 backpacks. Our goal is to take care of 1,000 students this year. Currently $668 until we hit $6k. gofund.me/ffa0c6ae

Seven years in detention for a crime he did not commit. Seven years. And his codefendant has been waiting 10 years for a verdict. This cannot be reformed. No new jail. No Cop City.

BREAKING: Jury finds Condell Benyard NOT GULITY. He has been in pretrial detention for seven years waiting for this verdict. The bulk of the DA’s case relied on 1 witness who wrote the DA from prison claiming he saw Benyard at the deadly 2013 shooting. He later admitted he lied.

3.5 years later not only isn't there a test for a disease 1 in 10 people will get, there isn't even a way to easily and reliably test if you are infected with the virus that might give you the disease. And there's no treatment. And we went back to normal under these conditions

This is Tim Wise with 6 1/2 minutes of one of the greatest history lessons I ever learned. Back in 2014 when Eric Garner was murdered I went out on the streets with some friends to show support. Then the next year Sandra Bland made headlines and I started paying attention. Tim's…

This is amazing. AOC is right to call them out. Reminder, the ethics committee is investigating Matt Gaetz for sexual misconduct. Here’s the clip:

Rep. @AOC (D-NY) seems to call out Rep. Gaetz (R-FL) after Rep. Greene (R-GA) held up naked pictures of Hunter Biden: “If the gentlelady from Georgia wanted to follow evidence, we should also take a look at, hypothetically... sex trafficking charges against a 17-year-old girl…”

There are two highly anticipated movies being released this week. One of them is about a controversial public figure and how they reflect the enduring cognitive dissonance between our stated values as a society and the reality of our myriad systemic hypocrisies. (thread)

Everyone I know in their 30s, 40s, & 50s are having existential crises because we’re all sick, realizing we can’t physically work until we drop, but we can’t afford survival either. Our Golden Years will be spent amid mass disease, extreme weather, fires, & food/water shortages.

everyone i know in their late 20s is having an existential crisis because we skipped our mid 20s in the pandemic. relationships fast-tracked, careers faltered, we lost those core identity-building years and now we feel like 23-year-old brains in bodies approaching 30

Me: How much does the military spend on Viagra each year?   Director of Defense Contracts: I don’t have that figured out. Me: about $41.6 million.   Do you know how many bridges in my District of Pittsburgh could be repaired with that amount?

WARNING: GRAPHIC ⚠️ A police officer in Orlando, FL shot and killed Derek Diaz, 26, who was sitting in a car minding his business. Cops can't just harass innocent people over bullshit and then murder them. Jose Velez should face charges for this.

Just disgusting.

The studio’s A.I. proposal to SAG-AFTRA included scanning a background actor’s likeness for one day’s worth of pay and using their likeness forever in any form without any pay or consent.
