The church has a long track record of destroying any art or philosophy that threatens it. Which largely is contributions by women, queer people, BIPOC people & other groups deliberately marginalized by the church's rhetoric.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.

Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

I am tired of scrolling through YouTube shorts and seeing beefy conspiratorial clowns declare cooked food and vaccines and the very presence of a foreign person to be anathema to their delusional vision of a perfect, homogenous, walled-off society.

We did not evolve to be ALPHA CHADS, actually.

My most woke opinion is that "woke" at root is a beautiful concept: active socio-political consciousness in the context of the Black American liberation struggle. And the way it's been turned into a sneering pejorative is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in Western political discourse.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The alleged DJT/Bill Clinton blow job bombshell is indeed a surprise in its own way, true or not, but can we please keep the focus on the paedophile rape island thing not the consensual sex act between two adults thing? Fucking hell, people.

The anti abortion movement has always been a terrorist movement. They've shot, murdered, and bombed doctors and clinics for decades.

This is a horrifying example of misogynoir in medicine.

A pregnant black woman is left in the waiting room, screaming in agony & in active labour.

The nurse barely even acknowledges her.

Black women have the highest maternal mortality in the country, and black babies have highest infant mortality

Hate everyone focusing on "Haha Trump blew Bill Clinton" and not the fact that we have countless evidence that the entire US government is AT BEST complicit in decades of abuse if not actively doing it. Again.

#ICYMI: The Department of Homeland Security says it intends to add state driver's license information to a swiftly expanding federal system envisioned as a one-stop shop for checking citizenship.

DHS Wants States to Hand Over Driver’s License Data for Citizenship Checks
It’s the latest step in an unprecedented initiative to pool confidential data that the Trump administration claims will help identify noncitizens on voter rolls and tighten immigration enforcement.

great analogy from the judge!

you can't steal from home depot when you're renovating your house,

or shoplift from the grocery store to make a meal.

can't even use someone's academic work without attribution.

or record a football game & charge ppl to watch it.

same rules should apply to ai.

Wild to me how many headlines I saw this week celebrating the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting Kim Davis's bid to end marriage equality, when the Texas Supreme Court just decided that state court judges are free to refuse to perform weddings for same-sex couples from here on out
The Conservative War On Marriage Equality Never Needed Kim Davis
The Supreme Court rejected Davis’s bid to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges. But in Texas and elsewhere, anti-gay activists are chipping away at the right that case protects.

I’m not at all minimizing the difference in support amongst the parties but I really need liberals to stop distancing democrats from this genocide. Federal level elected Democrats accept $25 Million in contributions from AIPAC (bribes). Joe Biden was the HIGHEST recipient of AIPAC money in 2023.
AIPAC (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) is a right wing fascist lobby group that supports WAR CRIMINAL Netanyahu. Any politician that is even partly supported by the group should be thrown out of office. That includes almost all republicans, and even a few democrats.
