"Please right your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in history that loves us so much he can't even breathe" -- in extremely culty scene, Trump has his supporters pledge to him that they will vote, then tells them they will "go to hell" if they don't Here's the full sequence:

One of the biggest failures of universities is some of the lowest hanging fruit. Make the case to communities and states: do you like having doctors and teachers? Bridges and computers? Yes?You can’t have them w/o universities. Universities are for everyone, not just the people who attend them.

Gloria Steinem died with fewer rights than she had during her lifetime. That fact needs to be front and centre of every media report, every dedication, every discussion of her death.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:

She didn't die. She sailed West, to the Undying Lands and remained Galadriy'all.

Everything is on fire, but I just saw one of these drinking from the pond. We cannot let the fascists destroy our world.

Just a reminder that everything happening is the result of us reaching a stage of capitalism where destruction is intended to allow further monopolization of resources and it's being carried out by leaders and groups that have no idea what they're doing and are willing to just steal and break things

Only good use of a space-capable missile, teeing up in three, two, one… (No, seriously, every other nation on earth should take this as an attack on our existence as humans, and on the existence of every nocturnal creature on this planet. Because this planet needs dark skies, we need stars.)

Routine reminder that US cops kill 10,000-25,000 dogs every year. Almost always with zero reason or justification. That is 27-68 dogs shot and killed by police every day.

Just more horrors. Cops kill another dog while searching for someone not even at the home they were at. A highly trained service dog was not a threat to police but that doesn't matter, they killed her anyway. Why do cops do this? Less paperwork then killing people? www.wsbtv.com/news/local/c...
