“I’ve told the kids in the ghettos that violence won’t solve their problems, but then they ask me, and rightly so; “Why does the government use massive doses of violence to bring about the change it wants in the world?” After this I knew that I could no longer speak against the violence in the ghettos without also speaking against the violence of my government”

i did my research and donated. this is the easiest way to donate to the lebanese red cross.

time to play another round of “how insidiously xenophobic was your history education”!  

without looking it up, make a list of which 10-15 countries you would assume have the largest population in the world

this is the Good Shit

you know what’s good? when characters are on a last-name basis, but something terrible’s happened and they start calling for the other by the first name.

reminder to expect massive fraud from the trump admin this election. letting inertia keep you from voting is the first step to preventing the huge turnout we need. the government is going to do everything in their considerable power to prevent your vote from counting.  

tell them to get fucked. 

hey, all academic research should be publicly accessible. make use of some of those billions of dollars being misused on military spending, and get rid of paywalls. 

this is a basic investment in the future. when you put scientific advancement behind a paywall, you are literally slowing down the speed of human progress

Yo Biden just announced an infrastructure devolopment/clean energy/environmental justice plan and it's honesty pretty fucking amazing and much more ambitious than I ever would have expected from him, goddamn. He's trying to Eisenhower/New Deal our way out of the economic collapse.

Some notable points addressed by this plan:

Expanding American railway systems

Fixing the crumbling roads, bridges, dams, etc. that haven't been kept up

Capping abandoned oil wells

Undoing Trump's financial bailout policies for unclean energy companies

Reinvesting in American-made automotive companies

Getting America to 100% clean energy by 2035

Fixing air, water, and ground pollution issues that disproportionately affect poc

Getting justice for victims of environmental racism

Reinstating a bunch of environmental and medical jobs Trump had cut

Getting the US back on the Paris Agreement/Climate Accord
