Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

"you can't play me, motherfucker. i'm the motherfucker who plays motherfuckers, motherfucker" -- my internal monologue while winning a game intended for children

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Regular reminder that body / weight / calorie talk is super toxic and should never happen in an unsolicited way. Even if you think you’re being complimentary. Don’t do it.

This was a choice made by Republicans to explode health insurance costs for millions. Now military families aren’t getting their paychecks and are online at food banks.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability

we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand.

From a previous profession….

“The sub hasn’t arrived”

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Dolly is a true gift.

Keep in mind the people who are opposed to defunding the police want more of this

They would rather their tax money go to cops instead of efforts to fund public health initiatives and non police adjacent first responders

This is a result of anti defund efforts

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.
