AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

it also makes me think about how wrong media must have gotten other city-based events. like I was in DC for 2020 and that did feel chaotic as hell but I wasn't in, say, Portland or Minneapolis. I'm in LA now and I cannot tell you how much nothing is happening in 99% of the area.
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

A new study shows the carbon footprint from the first 15 months of the genocide in Gaza is greater than the annual emissions of a hundred countries.
As Greta Thunberg recently said as she sails to Gaza to attempt to deliver humanitarian aid, “There can be no climate justice without social justice.”

We're paying attention, and must hold these cowards responsible for the death and destruction they enable by going along with this evil, evil administration.
From the NCAA to hospitals and universities, “preemptive obedience” is the new norm when it comes to Trump's illegal anti-trans order.
