A lot of people aren’t going to want to hear this but letting a tiny group of people hoard all the wealth - because of the delusion that you could somehow ever get into that group through hard work or merit - is actually the cause of most of the problems in this country
A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.
Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

What the Debate Me bros have done is found a way to filibuster the self-evident humanity of a person or group by making it an endless topic of debate.
As Toni said: "None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing."
It's not my job to prove my equality to those who think me inferior

The NCGOP will lie right to your face and say they believe in equal rights while actively undermining basic civil rights. Debating them is like playing make-believe. #ncpol

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026
This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

Vaccine skeptic is not a thing, in the same way that climate change skeptic is not a thing. They’re science deniers and they’re gonna get a lot of people killed.

Just recently joined bluesky and Im still getting used to it. But so far it seems to have more potential than I expected. I just need to find more people to follow. And maybe get a few followers myself
