“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.
What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.
This is a lot of strong 'nadoes already this year y'all.
I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty
it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
On the Dems pushing a bill to suspend the federal gas tax.
They just can't let the Rethugs suffer their own consequences, can they? In my line of work, we call it "enabling".
You’re telling me I need to be in #StarTrekOnline for a year?
Sign me UP.
Remember that time on Star Trek Next Gen when Geordie created an ai replica of a real person to ask it questions from her pov and she rightly freaked out when she found out because it's fuckin' creeper shit?
Yeah, not sure why that's coming to mind right now.

You’ve Got To Be Carefully Taught
from South Pacific
You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught.

I am *constantly* saying that RFK Jr. will have the highest body count in the cabinet.
Well since you brought them up, I’ll take this op to ask: please don’t send me anymore links to GFR. They’re not reputable and never will be. - if you’re wondering why we don’t cover their “scoops”
I...this should not be a thing that gets paid bots. This should be a recall

We have, by far, the biggest, most expensive military in the world not to mention enough nukes to eradicate the entire world population dozens of times over, but we're supposed to believe we're also so feeble we were at risk of attack by a military a fraction of our size. Complete and utter bullshit

Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.

What do they all have in common?
They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.
But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.
It's a betrayal of every fan in America.
EVIL.
IT'S OFFERING AN AI RECAP 10 MINUTES INTO THE CONVERSATION (1974). A FILM ABOUT THE LIFE OR DEATH IMPORTANCE OF PAYING ACUTE ATTENTION TO WHAT ONE IS SEEING AND HEARING (no spoilers). WHAT ARE WE DOING?
WHAT ARE WE DOING? WATCH THE FUCKING MOVIE.
OH GOD DAMN DALE
Those who have tamped down concerns about the SAVE Act’s chance of passage in the Senate are wrong. Keep your eyes on the prize. The potential for a blowout in 2026 is top of mind for Trump, and there are only a few ways to avoid it.
Call your Senators. 202-224-3121.
Congress must act and refuse to provide any additional funding for this unconstitutional war.
President Trump's unauthorized war in Iran has already killed thousands of people, including children, and cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars.
I know hindsight etc etc but this stat really irks me given the amount of people who complained that Harris spent too much time talking about the threat to democracy
For all the star chart lovers: Here are three screenshots from #StarfleetAcademy's "300th Night", highlighting large Alpha/Beta quadrant star chart seen in the episode. I love how many of the familiar planets are matched with real life star systems - makes #StarTrek stargazing so much more fun! :-)
