Audre Lorde on shared challenges between US black & indigenous women:

“All our children are prey. How do we raise them not to prey upon themselves & each other? This is why we cannot be silent: our silences will come to testify against us out of the mouths of our children.”

The Kremlin is now claiming they will see any Ukrainian Tomahawk missile attack as a nuclear attack, because these missiles *can* carry nuclear warheads.

But can they even recognize these missiles from other weapons like the ATACMS
@anderspucknielsen.dk? Are radar signatures that precise? 🤔

Pet peeve:

People who comment “it’s not going to make any difference”

Even if the odds are against you, does the mean you should give up?

Should our people have not fought back? People shouldn’t have fought apartheid? Rosa Parks shouldn’t have given up her seat?

Like what are you saying?

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Brave Russian resistance fighter films many hours of video about Putin's school propaganda, and manages to smuggle the recordings out of Russia to create a documentary.

He is in Copenhagen, and his film is shown on Danish national tv.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

If your culture does not believe in taking care of its elders,who are tired, then your culture is highly disturbing. My culture celebrates its elders because they have much wisdom, yet they also deserve rest, and respect.
