The thing about lying for likes and attention is that it flips people into freeze mode so they don’t take action.
Intentionally inflaming people with faulty information is collaboration with fascism, even when it comes from someone purportedly on the left.
Someone told me a few weeks ago that I would have a bigger following if I just did “news as entertainment for likes and ad revenue” and I gotta say there is little that enrages me more than people who jack the central nervous systems of others for profit, let alone when there are solutions on offer.
Oil! We need more oil! Turn the taps on!
Yes, cannot suddenly stop using oil overnight. It would destroy 'civilisation'.
But where are the demands for a massive global 'wartime' push to rollout renewables, faster, further, cheaper?
Are we so keen to destroy humanity with climate change?
Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock
If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time
I am seriously, seriously wondering how many GOP politicians are doing a very careful calculus on their political future right now. They're facing a no-win scenario, and have to choose the path of least damage. If they don't, things will be far worse for them, and for all of us.
How dare her!! 🧐🤨
"When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Thirty-one House Republicans has announced that they are not seeking re-election this year. It's a good chance that before the midterm that MAGA MIKE might be out of the speakership if some of the Republicans step down before their term is up.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
At least France's Newspapers are able to report the truth.

We’re not fighting for ourselves.
We’re fighting for each other.
Happy International Women’s Day.
Vote damn it
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.

What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner.
Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence.
These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

Belfast facing down fascists, 2024.
This International Women's Day, never forget who stood shoulder to shoulder with you on every demo & action. In N. Ireland, it's been trans, non-binary & queer people every single time. From abortion rights to facing down the far-right their paramilitary backers. This is what solidarity looks like.
Caitlin Kalinowski, who served as a member of technical staff focused on robotics and hardware, posted on social media that she had stepped down on "principle" after the company revealed plans to make its AI systems available inside secure Defense Department computing systems.
The craziest thing about American fundamentalists is not that they believe that Jesus is coming back but that when he does he'll be like, rich white folks: go to the front of the line
The White House put out a series of hype videos about the war. Some have been defending it by saying military members themselves share these kinds of videos.
This is true. But they aren’t the White House. The WH is a bunch of children, and have no sobriety about the serious business of war.
