one function of capitalism is to funnel these types into positions of power, because if competent & kind people get into power they start taking from the rich and giving to the poor. capitalist leaders must be either evil or ignorant or both, only by mistake does anyone else get near power
What if we could have leaders who aren't either evil monsters or spineless weenies

If you're protesting, it's vital you know your rights

Save these bust cards, share with others, write phone numbers on your arm, look for legal observers if you need assistance and remember to say "no comment" without a lawyer

Keep yourselves and each other safe

A lot being said about how it's "normal" to go through a "Nazi phase", so here's my expert commentary as a historian who looks at (among other things) the Nazi period:

What the fuck are you talking about.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

The rikishi are taking-in the town and doing what we all do when in London.
Seeing the sights, admiring the parks, shopping on High Street, taking tea at Fortnum's, using the olde phonebox, eating Chinese, and having a terrific time.

I can't say I really understand the point of putting partner on a five color commander.

Let people make actual choices rather than just getting everything.
Combining individual strengths to create a dream team is a core part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Each Partner card in the #MTGxTMNT Commander Deck highlights those strengths and adds a different flair to your path to victory.

"NO CASH ACCEPTED" is a global crisis. I have seen this on three continents now. It's anti-poor, anti-youth, anti-immigrant and pro-surveillance. I had thought it was an American problem, then a Western one, but surveillance capitalism is taking over even the smallest transactions globally.

On Earth, these molecules are involved in chemical reaction chains that lead to the more complex molecules essential for life.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)
