Hammam's had a really tough time. He just wants to build a shelter at the moment.
🚨
This is what the Israeli occupation left behind in our area in northern Gaza. We lost our home & everything. Nothing remains. We are homeless in a world without shelter or anything. Our appeal to you is to donate so we can buy a tent & build a bathroom.
Pls Help if you can⬇️

Thank you.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

If the text around the photo looks like it’s been scanned from a photocopy, there’s like a 90% chance the photo isn’t verified.

Don’t spread lies on the internet.

Contrary to popular belief, white supremacy is not extra-strength racism. And, according to a thing called a dictionary, white supremacists and white nationalists are as different as alligators & crocodiles

Let me explain.

The absolute bloody vandalism of austerity in one chart. Good analysis of the overall picture here.

Great write up of IfG's findings on local government by the Guardian
EXC: English councils will still be poorer in 2029 than they were in 2010, according to the IfG.

Report finds councils are increasingly providing social care and little else. Libraries, youth services, parks, all falling by the wayside.

English councils to remain poorer than in 2010 despite funding rise, says report

Incredible (although incredibly depressing) writing here. Nobody does it like Elie Mystal
Here's my full breakdown of yesterday's voting rights case, where the Supreme Court will likely say that overrepresntation of whites in Congress is constitutionally mandated.

Oh, some of you are like, NEW new.

1. They’re called skeets. No, you will not change that.
2. Use alt text.
3. This isn’t Twitter. If you act like a fool, you will get blocked so hard you cease to exist to some folks. If you really act a fool you get put in the Louvre.

How is this still happening?!
#welcometoyorkshire moors burnt releasing carbon into the atmosphere to create habitat for tens of millions of non-native birds released into the wild each year. Reducing habitat and food for native wild birds and animals. Passed 20-30 dead pheasants run over on roads. Some traditions aren't good.
I mean, I hope you don't lose your account but I'm relieved it's nothing more devastating
Every day there's something beyond parody. I want to laugh but it's too disgusting

One of my only remaining joys is that every single time Amy Coney Barrett makes a stupid argument, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a chance to follow up and illustrate her stupidity.
And this will happen again, and again, for the rest of Barrett's life.
