β€œAt the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. β€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was β€œno longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. β€œIt drove me to a point of saying, β€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason we dont get polio anymore.

Henrietta Lacks is the reason in-vitro works

Henrietta Lacks is the reason there's an HPV vaccine, gene mapping, we know how cancer cells divide, AIDs is no longer a death sentence.

Henrietta Lacks cells were stolen from her

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 

The phrase β€˜Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen β€˜His name’

It’s day 84 of the ICE occupation of MN.

These 12 weeks have changed us forever. Minnesotans have found a new way to navigate the world- based deeply in our care for our neighbors.

What Elon Has Done Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has faded from public consciousness in America, despite leaving death and destruction in its wake.

"the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building."

Angels: fake

Leprechauns: Real but I think their powers are more limited than stories would have you believe. Critically endangered.

actually, god may well be a fuck, and he is, but i am really grateful, no joke, for the people in my i’ve already told this to. one of the greatest gifts of being alive, to me, is the joy of allowing and giving people space to surprise you with kindness/love. & my cup runneth over in that respect <3

the laser reflection meme of three stick figures with a laser from the first figure being reflected by the second figure to hit the third figure. the first figure says "you should play outer wilds", the second figure is labeled "your friend who hasn't played outer wilds", and the third figure is labeled "random guy who's played outer wilds" while saying "so true"

the "this generation was the first to be raised by" meme format of "x taught me y" except the boy has four eyes and is blue (play outer wilds you'll get this) and the "raised by" has the outer wilds logo below it. for each of the "x taught me y" lines, the x is a stretched image of a planet from outer wilds and the y is redacted because spoilers. one of the y clauses reads "autopilot is a fuck". play it so you know. at the end, the last line says "and i" followed by two black boxes because again it's redacted for spoilers just go play it.

These accounts are indistinguishable from what happened in early concentration camps of other regimes, where many people died of malnutrition or diseases. This is the time to stop these. Right now. Because we know what is next.
