I don't do much 9/11 posting, but I always think about Bretagne, the last surviving ground zero search and rescue dog.
When they took her to be euthanized in 2016, first responders saluted as she entered the clinic. She was later carried out in a flag-draped casket.

This is what happens when you think of consumption as a personal moral statement and not about where the money is going
Every $ spent on HP crap goes to JK Rowling's hateful crusade against trans people. Even if you don't spend any money, by continuing to talk about the books you are promoting them

I just want people to give a shit
I’ve been an anarchist since I was a sophomore in high school, so I am fairly well-acquainted with people not sharing my politics, broadly or specifically. But the thing that bothers me more …

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.
"What service is Microsoft providing?"
Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
