There’s an urgent need for blood in the aftermath of the Brown University shooting
If you can give, please do
If you can’t, please spread the word
Its terrifying to think how bad this shooting might be if they need an urgent call for blood, but the more people donating the more lives we can save

Stop accepting the cynical notion that “nothing can be done” about guns, or anything else for that matter. Every time you give up hope, the emperor has already won.

I believe the Section 230 repeal is a very serious attempt for one simple reason: Gaza
US politicians are desperate to control the free flow of information online after the role social media played in activism around the genocide
The status quo on Israel has been threatened, senators are scared

It couldn't be more obvious that this is about legacy media and the establishment no longer being able to condition public opinion about Gaza. Hillary Clinton gave the game away about a week ago when she blamed TikTok for rising anti-Zionist sentiment. They can't hide it very well.

Taking a pardon means admitting you committed the crime. Legal requirement.
And the Democrats still gave him back the committee, because this is who they are. If they don't come out loudly against this and denounce him, then they gotta go. This is ridiculous.

i love when journalists with zero experience in scientific research try to lecture scientists on how they should be doing research. they always end up betraying their complete and utter ignorance about both science and often basic material reality in the process
This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.

Unfortunately, under our Kavanaugh Stops regime, it is entirely rational for anyone who appears Hispanic to carry proof of citizenship at all times. The worst part is that it might not be enough: ICE/CBP keep arresting people who have proof of citizenship, refusing to accept its validity.
U.S. Latinos are now more worried about being asked to prove their legal status during their daily activities (43% today vs. 31% in March), and roughly 1 in 5 have changed their daily routines because of it.

When population complains they never fix the issue but put more effort into preventing people from complaining again. This is also why we have anti-union laws
Millions of young people across the globe protested against a genocide — an unprecedented mass movement that was organized on social media.
In that time, the US government basically nationalized TikTok and the Australian government has banned teenagers from social media altogether.
