In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing."
Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

A big misconception about Greenland is that since it’s labeled a Danish colony, its residents are just a bunch of white dudes named Kristian—which is extremely harmful and inaccurate.
The population is 85% Indigenous! It belongs to the Kalaallit people, not to Denmark and CERTAINLY not to the U.S.

A majority of Americans support universal healthcare, tuition-free college, and living wages.

I always say that I am pro-life for myself. I have always had my children. But it took me some time to learn that the Government takes 10 miles if we let them. If they have a say in any womans reproductive care, then they want to ban birth control.
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who is determined to turn up the volume and EXPOSE all of the brutal, deadly consequences of abortion bans in America.
They're not "pro-life."
They're pro controlling women's bodies.
