"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
"If Elon Musk thinks it's good, it's bad, and if Elon Musk thinks it's bad, it's good" is a pretty reliable rule of thumb.
not only does the richest known nazi in the world endorse andrew cuomo but he’s boosting it as a paid ad on twitter

I'm not really involved in "mainstream" comics (DC, Marvel, etc) either professionally or as a fan, but is there, like, a movement to get DC Comics to stop employing Chuck Dixon, a proud champion of fascist violence? They cancelled Gretchen Felker-Martin for far less.

Ever MAGA opinion is basically random thoughtless meanness, but it is very funny to see them pretending to really love Columbus Day, which became a national holiday because Democrats wanted to shore up support in immigrant communities during the New Deal.

White PDXers, now is the time to reach out to and be ready to close ranks around your BIPOC neighbors. You are the whitest metro city in the US, and that is going to paint instant targets on the backs of anyone who isn’t.

Anyone out there familiar with Highland Pro? It’s TWICE deleted all of the writing in a document for no apparent reason, wiping hours of work. Does this happen to other people?
I don’t want to give up on it because I like the UI and I paid for it, but I don’t think this is a risk I can keep taking.

While I got my knuckles rapped by corporate America for being rude and tasteless about a guy who dreamed of the stoning of me and everyone I love, Fox's Brian Kilmeade advocated explicitly for the state murder of all homeless people -- on live TV, no less -- to virtually no response.

Never forget "the other 9/11", 9/11/73, when the US backed a coup in Chile, murdering the democratically-elected President and establishing a disastrous military dictatorship.

The U.S. set the stage for a coup in Chile. It had unintended consequences at home
When the U.S. role in the 1973 coup in Chile became known, activists took action. So did U.S. lawmakers. This is what happened after the U.S. helped topple a Marxist and aided a right-wing dictator.

How many artists and thinkers of the 20th century can now only be mentioned with a huge asterisk because they became apologists for evil regimes?
What makes their modern equivalents so certain the same thing won't happen to them?

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP
