What nobody tells you about the Pyramids at Giza is that the insides are Very Sweaty

When I compare what they insurrected over to what we haven’t insurrected over it makes perfect sense to me why they feel empowered to kidnap kids in broad daylight

Last night I attended a public education listening tour hosted by Iowa Dem house members. So many teachers reiterated an atmosphere of total fear, surveillance, & reprisal. One elementary teacher said they refer to the Gulf of Mexico as "The Gulf" to avoid even the suspicion of bias.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It really just seems like they built this huge cavern for stuffed displays of fish and sea life (now abandoned behind heavily graffitied glass) and the bats just decided to move in

One of my deepest fears is never being able to fall asleep again and I just get more and more tired till I cant move anymore and I just lay there forever

Visited a half abandoned zoo in Cairo today and they just have a bat colony there? You can walk through it? The bats fly in and out over your head? They're not trapped they just choose to live there??

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."
