YES OMG people would be so angry if they knew what we are missing because of the intersection of science ignorance and narcissist politics
mRNA vaccines may actually be the great invention of the 21st century and everyone should be a lot more angry about the attempts to kill them
is there a technology that "the left" is excited about?

“This decision is an important step toward upholding what fear tried to destroy: the right to speak for peace and justice,” as Mohsen said today.

I’m honored to call Mohsen a friend, and I can’t wait to congratulate him on the day he becomes a U.S. citizen.
BREAKING: An immigration judge has *terminated* the Trump-Vance administration's efforts to deport Columbia pro-Palestine student protestor Mohsen Mahdawi.

Mohsen was first detained 10 months ago, when agents ambushed him at a citizenship interview.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧

The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.

May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.



He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

Sounds accurate given what I've seen so far. AI is actually good at about 5% of what they're trying to use it for.

I'm seeing a trend of people beginning to hate/give up on social media & the internet in general. I'm asking you to consider that it's by design bc we get so much collective power here, too.

One of the things in The Files is how they turned many of these spaces into right-wing cesspools on purpose.

Romania has decoupled economic growth from pollution faster than anywhere else in EU. Its net greenhouse gas emissions intensity fell 88% between 1990 & 2023, so each euro’s worth of economic activity heats planet 10 times less. Emissions have plunged by 75%. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
‘The trend is irreversible’: has Romania shattered the link between economic growth and high emissions?
Emissions have plunged 75% since communist times in the birthplace of big oil – but for some the transition has been brutal

Unless they make driver's licenses, state id's, passports, birth certificates, *any* form of identification **FREE**, it's a poll tax & therefore immediately rendered unconstitutional.

In case anyone needed a reminder.
