Our healthcare system is an extortion racket where thugs hold our lives hostage for profit
A 10-year-old girl who's a US citizen recovering from brain cancer was deported with her parents and can't continue her treatment.
The swelling on her brain is not fully gone causing difficulties with speech and mobility.
Deporting her is pure evil.
Police in Alabama shot and killed a 16-year-old boy in his own home during a no-knock raid in the middle of the night.
Body camera footage allegedly shows Randall Adjessom raising his hands and backing away just before an officer opened fire.
RIP
I am trying to take public transportation more instead of driving. I am trying to eliminate my spending at Walmart and Amazon entirely. I am trying to use less plastic. I am trying to eat less meat and never get fast food. These tiny acts of resistance add up. I recommend you all try to do the same.
Conservatives are finding out in real time that Elon Musk was always lying about "free speech" on Twitter 🐆

A police officer in New Hampshire has been arrested on charges related to child sex crimes.
John Giarrusso III, 48, is accused of uploading several videos of child sex abuse material and sending graphic text messages about raping children as young as 7 years old.
They gutted social programs, shut down factories, outsourced jobs, and left entire towns to rot, and then they militarized the cops, constructed a bunch of private prisons, and built Cop Cities to crush any resistance, but they want us to blame immigrants for the way things are?
It's been over a week since a cop on Long Island has returned to the job despite being suspended for driving drunk in 2020 and crashing into a car carrying 2 children, one of whom was permanently injured.
Does anyone care?
Where's the national outrage?
Knicks made it to the NBA finals, screwworm is spreading in Texas, US is trying to do a regime change in Iran, there's a space race to go to the moon, and women are being forced to give birth.
It's the 1950s all over again.
Keith Porter's daughter talks about how her father was murdered by an off-duty ICE agent in Los Angeles
We're being cooked in our own juices so that a bunch of trust fund babies could sip champagne on a super yacht while we choke on the ashes
Luigi Mangione's trial hasn't even started. Everyone has a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, but the right-hand man for the president and one of the wealthiest people in the world saying this to his 218M followers means Luigi Mangione can never get a fair trial.
Over 30,000 people in Denver showed up to a rally spearheaded by 2 democratic socialists, but both parties will keep pretending that Americans aren't hungry for a real change
8 anti-ICE protesters received sentences from 30 to 100 years, with several receiving 50 years or more. The harsh sentencing is meant to be a warning that intimidates activists around the country. 🧵
One observation I have about the Dem Party primary in-fighting is that a lot of the political operatives with proximity to the power center of the Dem Party seem to be incredulous as to why Americans organically don't like to support candidates being bribed by right-wing corporations and dark money.
We have a spoon's worth of nanoplastics in our brains and nobody is being held accountable. Petrochemical giants made billions of dollars poisoning us. This is a result of decades of industrial deregulation, corporate malfeasance, and systemic failure to protect public health.
No Other Land has won this year's Oscar for best documentary. This is a big deal.
Despite being worthy of an Oscar, the film has NOT been able to find distribution in the US because it's about the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homes by Israel.
Police in Florida accused a 12-year-old of lying about sexual abuse. She was sentenced to 1 year of community service, and had to write apology letters to her abuser and a cop, so she took matters into her own hands and recorded the abuse. This is so infuriating.
