Thank you Buona Forchetta! Support their employees who are victims of the ICE raid and their fascist tactics. This includes the trauma of neighbors and employees who witnessed this criminal act. #AbolishICE #SanDiegoSouthPark #SanDiego

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

Got Electricity?

Major #poweroutage across whole Iberian Peninsula (Spain 🇪🇸 & Portugal 🇵🇹). Rumors suggesting other European countries, too.

Are you in Europe? Got power?

Flying to the US? Are you already in the US?

Heed this, regardless of your nationality.

To all the people saying, "it's cheaper", no it isn't, unless you have your own supply. Which is one reason why wood burning is predominantly done by wealthy or middle class people, poisoning themselves and poisoning others. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

International loan sharks backed by the guns
Of market hungry military profiteers

A suggestion:

Stop saying his name. Don’t amplify it or spread it around.

Referred to him as #47 & his cabinet as #regime47.

He’s not singularly powerful, so let’s make sure we call it as it is. It’s a corrupt and tyrannical regime.

Dear Zelenskyy,
Even if he did visit, he’s a psychopath—he lacks empathy. The horrors wrought by Putin will have no effect on him. He’s a monster.

Ephemeral, it—we—are gone in an instant.

Be late, take up time, because however much we have left, time is all we’ve got.
