Honestly one of most chilling parts of this fascist rise is watching journalism stumble around the point without ever finding it like Mr. Magoo dodging every calamity around a construction site.

The implications are entirely clear. They're burning the planet to line their own pockets.

President Trump is making energy a top priority on his first day in office, pledging to declare a national emergency – which no president has ever done before. The implications aren't clear.
Trump plans to declare a 'national energy emergency.' What does that mean?

Told you. Violence is sometimes the answer. And before you say "this is a bad precedent," the precedent of letting people die to increase profits is a much worse precedent and waiting for the "proper channels" only leads to more death. Extreme circumstances call for what? CALL FOR WHAT?!?!
North Carolina’s Atrium Health says it will forgive the debts of 11,500 people — less than a week after NBC News reported that the company has aggressively pursued former patients’ medical debts, placing liens on their homes to collect on bills.

Jay-Z was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl with Sean Combs in a lawsuit filed Sunday by an unnamed plaintiff. He vehemently denied the allegation and accused the lawyer who brought the suit of trying to blackmail him with false claims.

The entertainer said the suit, which accuses him of assaulting an unnamed 13-year-old girl in 2000, was an effort to gain settlement money by putting forward “idiotic” claims.

A decade ago, I knew Charlemagne was a disgusting vile person when I heard him and Andrew Schultz on their podcast “Brilliant Idiots” (podcasts were VERY new to me and nobody I knew even knew what they were).

They invited a rape crisis counselor on and laughed at her as she explained her job
I know cancel culture is a controversial topic, but hear me when I say that Charlamagne needs to be canceled. His display of passiveness to that vile Andrew Schultz just confirms he is not like us. That dirty bastard should have been put in his place got his disgusting rhetoric. #Blacksky 🙄😒

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Everything we do to fight fascism will be seen as too extreme, and too early. In reality, history shows that things were usually too late and too moderate.

The early days of a new social network are always extra horny because it feels more intimate and private when follower counts are lower and brands/celebs aren't around drawing a bunch of normie attention to the app.

This man scares me. Why isn't it enough for him to just be a weirdo billionaire? Nah, he wants to force his thoughts upon all of us. Like we literally can't escape this man.

You ever ate a meal so good and the restaurant shuts down, and the thought that you'll never have it again makes you mad?

And like...i get it. You were raised to believe that protecting yourself was disrespect. I'm not trying to change your belief. I just happen to believe that letting anyone hit me is disrespect, too.

I'm laughing because every time i tell that story people go "uh oh! I know she tore that ass up after that!"

And no. I would never hit my mother. But i also decided she would never hit me again, either. And she hasn't. Nobody on earth is hitting me and i just LET them.

That ain’t taught with ass whippings. That’s the problem, we want easy solutions. It’s taught with time, modeling, and work of incorporating and enforcing structure and discipline

That child doesn’t need an ass whipping but that may need some firm limits, boundaries, and consequences along with love and connection. That child may need lessons in respect, consideration, and community.

I love y’all, but I’m not RTing that video (child destructing grocery store). However, I will make a few points. -That’s not a meltdown. It’s very slow and deliberate destruction. -Many of those adults were making that situation worse. Who was the actual parent/caregiver?
