I support abolishing slavery. Let’s do it.
160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime.
The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all.
It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

Every Democrat going on air should take the first question and then say something like “Before I answer that I need to express my outrage and disgust at the president’s bigoted and vulgar insults about the Somali people. There is something seriously wrong with him. He is a sick man.”

The wealthy invest heavily in antiblackness to keep the masses occupied instead. I wouldn't be surprised if they spend more on it than what a working social safety net would cost.
lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.
There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

The same people who naively embrace "genetics" as the explanation for complex social outcomes (e.g., poverty, crime, "IQ" / standardized test scores) are happy to reject genetic explanations for autism in favor of half-baked, unsupported theories that allow them to blame moms. And sell them stuff.

Grateful for the 5 minute reprieve we had yesterday but it already feels like it happened a week ago now
Countries with DEI and abortion are human rights violators, says country where armed and masked government forces are invading neighborhoods.
"Countries with state subsidies for abortion, transgender-friendly policies for children, hate speech laws and affirmative action policies will now be considered to be violating human rights under rules imposed at the [US] State Department..."

If you have ever wondered why innocent Black people run from police, you can stop wondering now.
Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.

Where I differ from a lot of my more chill friends is that I believe that we are in an "us or them" situation right now. There is no scenario where our power and their power can be shared going forward. We are engaged in an ongoing battle for our right to exist as free people in the world.

I’m not crossing the picket line, and also not buying their beans at the store.
Starbucks' CEO is paid $95.8 MILLION.
The median worker at Starbucks makes $14,674 a year.
Instead of recognizing its worker union, Starbucks writes off its union-busting expenses on its taxes.
That's why Starbucks workers are striking today.
I won't cross the picket line.

I kind of hate this widely-shared chart. While our life expectancy is too low and our health expenditure is too high, they are actually not particularly connected to each other. Most of the excess mortality is caused by cars, guns, and drugs - things that health expenditure has little to do with.
