I really want to know what app the ICE agent is using to register this person.
This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention.
Keep calling them out, America!

The War on Cars has some wealthy friends
A copy of the comic book that introduced the world to Superman in 1938 has been sold to an anonymous collector for $15 million. The history of this particular copy of Action Comics No. 1, which originally sold for 10 cents, is a saga of its own.
Rare Comic Introducing Superman Sells Privately for $15 Million
The copy of Action Comics No. 1, published in 1938, was stolen from the actor Nicolas Cage in 2000 and recovered more than a decade later.

When climate arsonists who claim to be capitalists say that the market isn't asking for change, they are shoving their heads into ant hills and refusing to accept that they are the problem.
After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.
Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

Poly, who fought against all oppression and sexism and abhorred any form of conformism, was certainly not and did not want to be a sex symbol

I'm truly baffled how all of these people want to destroy the world. They do not see the suffering they create.
