Buy a banned book, read a banned book. Then, forget it in a public place. As close as possible to the place that banned that book might be nice. Maybe even slip a banned book between two other books in a library that's had books removed.

HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

On November 19, russia attacked a @wfp.org warehouse in Dnipro, destroying tons of food meant for civilians in frontline areas.
Another crime by the terrorist state, another International Humanitarian Law violation.

This is disgusting. The Christian Nationalist White Supremacist goons running our military have given the OK for the Coast Guard to display swastikas and confederate flags. Way to foster cohesion with Black and Jewish service members, you horrible trolls.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.
Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

Mega rich people could choose to be anywhere on the planet, see the vastness of our world, change the entirety of humanity for the better but, as with Musk & Rowling, they choose to inflict pain & suffering.
With only $2B, keep half, what would do with the other $1B? How would you impact the world?

In 2025, we are losing our measles-free status, just 25 years after we eliminated measles from the US because of vaccines.
It’s not because our sanitation systems have been eliminated.
It’s because people aren’t getting vaccinated.

Portland: if a streamer from out of state gets arrested or detained, perhaps wait to see if he gets more than a citation before donating $100,000+ to his "legal defense". that money is vastly in excess of what he might possibly need and could have gone to helping people in serious legal jeopardy

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.
Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.

Is anyone keeping track of how many people ICE has killed (either directly or who have died in custody due to neglect or abuse)?
Because any number other than zero is bad, but I feel like that number is WAY higher. And that's just the ones we KNOW about.
These are extrajudicial murders.

THESE are the promises I want to hear.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
