This might be the most relatable quote I’ve ever seen about my life as a neurodivergent person.
“My brain takes in so much more information than the person next to me. So, I need time to process that information, & if I don't process it and more is coming in, then I could shut down & implode or just have massive meltdowns.” Chloé Zhao on her neurodivergence:

i learned more about the korean war from M*A*S*H than i ever did in any history class, and if that isn't an indictment of the american educational system then what is?
If the average American could read a book, and ever read a book on the history of Korea and the United States' involvement in the history of the nation, I like to think they'd feel such intense shame that their heads would explode Scanners style, if the average American could experience shame
that and the folks in South Korea are generally fairly fond of the United States and wish us well because:

We need to #DeICETheseFlights. Since Trump took office, 200,000+ people have been separated from their families. Many forced onto ICE Air flights, shackled & flown thousands of miles in extreme heat, broken toilets, & no access to safety in an emergency.

But it gets worse.

Firing over 100 immigration judges.

Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings.

Pausing asylum decisions.

And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen.

Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

We have to listen to bigoted handwringing about how we have to abandon trans people and marginalized communities and immigrants while the clearest election winning message is right there.
"Do the rich have too much political power?"

Yes: 80%
No: 8%

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

cannot stress how much better the world would be if billionaires weren't allowed to exist

Each one of them could solve world hunger alone, they choose not to. The very existence of a billionaire is a failing as they only exist via mass scale exploitation
This is a disgusting amount of money.

Families are losing healthcare and can't afford food or basic necessities.

And the billionaires keep getting richer.

Immigrants were questioned about their country of origin and turned away while waiting in line for their citizenship ceremonies.

It sounds like a work of dystopian fiction. But it's not. This is exactly what happened at Faneuil Hall last week.

Unacceptable. Naturalize them now.
Unacceptable. Immigrants questioned and turned away from citizenship ceremonies.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic
I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube

The results of that U.S.'s Monroe doctrine have long been clear: immense profits for the few and violence, political upheaval, social dislocation, and economic devastation for the many. It’s no accident that, in the 70s, Latin America was a hemisphere dominated by U.S.-backed authoritarian regimes.
From the Monroe Doctrine to Maduro, US Imperialism Grips Latin America
When Washington interferes in other nations, the outcome is never stability or democracy but their absolute negation.

If someone asks you for empathy for a marginalized demographic, and your first instinct (that is immediately acted upon) is to frame it as coercion, you are a conservative at heart.

A few years ago I had a partner who was a former roboticist. Through her I became acutely aware of how much of public-facing robotics is now is pure theatrical smoke and mirrors horseshit intended to dupe credulous tech press and VCs.

This is the major museum in my state, by the way. I used to have to walk past it every day to get to uni. Everyone knows it for the big dinosaur statue and the whale hanging in the entranceway. And now it's a propaganda outlet like everything else
Queensland Museum accused of misleading teachers and children about the cause of climate change with an "education program" sponsored by Shell’s Queensland Gas Company. This is fossil fuels industry propaganda. How is this allowed?! #qldpol #Climate #education
