"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going." ― Harriet Tubman NO DMs. Make lyng wrong again.

An all-white dog laying miserably on the floor with a cone on. Half of her face is shaved because she had to get stitches to close a gash.
Dogs are great if you have money and want that to no longer be the case.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”
A striking survey released Thursday finds that 53% of American adults describe the morality & ethics of their fellow citizens as”bad”
At the opposite end of the spectrum is Canada, where Pew found that 92% of people say their fellow Canadians are good, while just 7% say they’re bad 🇨🇦✊

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
A six-year-old girl was fatally shot in the head while left unattended in a car in Michigan. Four other children under the age of 12 were in the car with her.
No child should ever have access to an unsecured gun. This never should have happened.
It's our turn.
"Forcibly displaced Lebanese are now gathering along the sea; they have nowhere to go; Israel has announced its intent to make conditions that render civilian life unsustainable. A second genocide. Now in Lebanon."(Philip Proudfoot on X) #Israel #Lebanon
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
-Dwight Eisenhower 1953
Marcie’s blue crew tell the truth: sane women and sane men fight to preserve our Civil Rights. No Kings March 28. Everyday another R resigns or says they aren’t running for reelection. Stand up for your rights. Vet, Follow, and Repost. TY. 🌎👊🏽 @mlipsitt.bsky.social 👇🏼
I guess the other question is, like, can dubai keep being dubai, if it's in a siege scenario? "how long until people literally starve" is a different question than "how long until wealthy people flee and existing political tensions are exacerbated"

I never cease to be amazed at the drug developments for HIV/AIDS. A death sentence to my generation and one of the greatest fears around casual sex. And we basically cured it.
This is why he was killed.
US Marine veteran Brian McGuinness was dragged out of a Senate Armed Services hearing after protesting the illegal US War in the Middle East, he shouted:
"America does not want to fight this war for Israel!"
Pro-Trump / Pro-Israel Sen. Sheehy helps police break the marine's arm.
WALZ: What a 'stop payment' meant by what the administration did last week is 400,000 children without healthcare

Bottleneck at Strait of Hormuz threatens global economy as U.S.-Iran war widens

The conflict between the U.S. and Iran is widening as the U.S. says there is no letup on its strikes on the country.

Bernie nails it. Netanyahu has wanted this war with Iran for decades, but no former POTUS would "green light" it and help him. Not until fellow right-wing imperialist DJT was POTUS. DJT couldn't do it in his first term, not enough loyalists in gov't. His dangerous, inept clowns run things now.

Stories about the illegality of the Iran War under both international law and the US Constitution and War Powers Act have featured on the front pages of Süddeutsche Zeitung, El País, Le Monde and papers all around the world. Not, however, in major US papers. Something is seriously wrong.

The Deputy Attorney General just rescinded the policy against no knock warrants in most cases. That policy was an important public safety measure. Restricting their use saved lives. Breonna Taylor died because of one. www.cnn.com/2022/02/22/u...

I see people claiming “different times” about horrible 2000s reality television.
No. I never watched reality tv. I thought it was predatory and I was just a silly kid. There was pushback, the high ratings spoke louder but there was always pushback.

Some good news. Buried under the huge piles of bs.
