Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.
I got laid off. I take care of my mother, who is disabled from a brain injury from sepsis. I only have 7 days left of metformin and 8 days of levothyroxine. I do not have a thyroid, and I will start dying within days, slowly and painfully, without hormones. please help

Stephen Miller is a fascist, and fascists want to eradicate, first from public life then entirely, those they consider to be subhuman.

"Throughout [US] history Congress has created special reduced postage rates for special groups ... [I]t's time for Congress to create a special rate classification for people who [crucially] depend on postal communications — people in prison or jail and the family members who write to them."

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in a commission? I’m out of work at the moment and recently got hit with a massive bill I can’t afford, I’m freaking out a little. OCs or fanart! Quick turnaround! Shoot me a DM!
Theo@theoboopis.bsky.social · 9mo agoHi, I'm opening commissions in this style. Prices negotiable on the complexity of the character, but base rate of $80 AUD (around 50 American bucks), paid on delivery of the finished piece. DM me with inquiries. Please consider RTing <3

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero weren't murdered because of car pursuits. They were murdered because the men driving those cars felt comfortable recklessly killing. None of this ends until we shut down ICE completely.

Memphis is under siege from the federal government. This is hideous.
Second Person in a Week Killed by Federal Task Force in Memphis
Tennessee authorities are investigating both shootings involving agents working with the task force in Memphis.

Everybody, let's keep eyes on Memphis. Their occupation under ICE is flying too low under the national radar. ICE is actually killing people there & has the whole city under siege. And we're not seeing folks care about Memphis like other places.
