Hey, no big deal amirite? Just the owner of Twitter praising an infamous Roman general who took over the government and murdered thousands of people. No biggie. All you media orgs, just carry on like nothing’s wrong. Cool.
The ever-more-essential @ProPublica shows us what's at stake as a right-wing Supreme Court flexes its policy muscles. At risk are all kinds of basic human rights: https://projects.propublica.org/supreme-risk/
Supreme Risk

Most rights are based in statute, but dozens — such as rights to same-sex marriage, search warrants and Miranda warnings — are based on judicial rulings that the Supreme Court can overturn and that current justices have questioned some aspect of.

The billionaire Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma will pay $6B & serve 0 prison for knowingly selling horrendous amounts of OxyContin while claiming it was non-addictive—resulting in 564K+ American deaths by Opioid overdose.😓 And that doesn’t even begin to contemplate the global harm and deaths the Sackler family caused.

And for all that suffering and atrocity—not one person will go to prison. Not one.

“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the poor.”

The problem with "letting anyone carry a gun makes us safer" is that the only people who want to carry guns are fucking psychos
What if we just consider “desire to own an AR-15” a mental health issue?

How media enables white supremacy.

First pic: How NY Times depicted an unarmed Black teen killed by law enforcement—“problematic & no Angel.”

Second Pic: How NY Times depicts a white woman who unapologetically stole $700M & harmed countless people—“a loving mother & a new beginning.”

So many conservative complaints boil down to "the people we oppress are treated like heroes, but we, the people who oppress them, are never treated like heroes, wah."

Today is the 204 year anniversary of the "Civilization Fund Act," which paid white missionaries to partner with the federal govt to force Native Americans to convert to Christianity or die.

At its peak 357 such schools kidnapped Indigenous kids & abused & tortured them to death.

The right wing extremist push to break down church state separation is not new, it's a revival of the atrocities of yesteryear.

This is so wrong. Walgreens just bought my health practice, Summit Health/CityMD. Boycott both. Now I will have to find new doctors. Shameful. Disgusting.
