Ok white dudes…here’s your chance to LEVERAGE your privilege in service to something other than white supremacy…your chance to show the world that not all of you seek a future that sees everyone else as less than; as pawns to be used for your own gain…it’s time to put up of shut up

Scientists say we basically have an HIV vaccine, but Gilead is charging over $40,000 a year for it and won’t yet allow a generic version that could be made for as little as $40 (which still includes a 30% profit).
HIV ‘vaccine’ could be made for just $40 a year for every patient
Generic version of a drug already on the market, which can suppress and prevent HIV, would still yield 30% profit if the current price was slashed, researchers say

I wish people on the lefts would take some of the energy they are about to direct into ripping each other up over Kamala and use it to build new mutual aid projects, plot community defense, and create necessary ecosystems of resistance and defense in our communities.

Punch left, start with the compromise and compromise even further to right because perfection is the enemy of the good, and here we are.

This piece from @jackmirkinson.bsky.social sums up where I’m at this morning.

“I am particularly outraged at being told to excuse genocide on behalf of someone who can barely string a sentence together at the most consequential possible moment.”
You Should Be Furious Right Now
I am angry that I live in a country that has produced this nightmare.

Very cool that in the midst of a historic election that could put a dictator in the White House that the political class has responded to the crisis of faith in democracy amongst young people by…banning TikTok and criminalizing student protests.

I’m sure that will be very helpful!

Hey folks:

I'm one of a group of founding era historians who signed on to an amicus brief for the Supreme Court concerning presidential immunity (and the many ways in which it makes no sense.). It was released to the public today.

I see you
I support you
I have your back.
Without apology or qualifications.

I don't understand hate living a life being the target of it and following hate groups as a means of survival.

Over his four years as mayor:

-Homicides fell to a 10-year low
-Baltimore bought two hotels for unhoused people; is selling abandoned homes for $1
-He's running a guaranteed income program for 200 families
-He's suing car-makers for bad anti-theft tech

This racist bullshit is particularly clownish
Baltimore’s mayor responds to social media posts labeling him a “DEI Mayor.”

“They really want to say the ‘n’ word,” Mayor Scott told the Baltimore Banner. “But there is nothing they can do and say to me that is worse than the treatment of my ancestors.”
