I must've listened to this song at least 10x since yesterday. I hope that it provides you some hope and inspiration to fight these fucking #fascists.
There are WAY more of us than there are of them. That's why they're scared shitless. #AntifaAF

I used some time this morning to write my state reps about the need for waste management legislation. Trying to find an outlet every time I get angry or depressed helps.

A stark reminder of the reality of war.
One thing missing from the Western popular media analysis of the war is troop number concentration. Most of the information indicates that Ukraine is seriously outnumbered and outgunned.
And yet, they move forward against great odds-and at great risk.
With the limited data we have in the West, it's impossible to truly understand what they're up against.
Aww, damn. #RIP Alan Arkin Dead: Little Miss Sunshine Oscar Winner, Argo Star Was 89 - Variety
@demvoter What chaps my ass is that regardless of how much damning evidence is produced against #TheHeadLiar we’ll have a pack of Trump co-conspirators and LOSERS screaming about the unfairness of treating the No1 Crook in America like a crook, How Unfair!! If you believe in the Constitution and lawfulness, you must recognize the threat to our Democratic Republic this group represents. For the rest of the Right Wingers, stop making excuses for the inexcusable. Open your eyes. 😳
@drcaberry In a country founded on equal opportunity, Affirmative Action is a liberal idea that recognizes inequality in the system and allows for that in the name of EO. Additionally every law designed to make life better for “Labor” (a label the GOP is trying to eradicate btw) was passed by liberals. What are most Conservatives doing? Kicking, screaming, having conniptions about losing their advantages. EO is a dirty word in Right Wing America. 🤔
#AffirmativeAction#SCOTUS#SCOTUSisCompromised#SCOTUSIsCorrupt I would not be where I am without affirmative action and nothing will stop me from continuing to help Black and Brown students to achieve their academic goals. #NoireSTEMinist #MySTEMIsForTheStreets NoireSTEMinist.com #BlackTwitter #BlackMastodon #BlackFediverse

@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social As I say quite often, people are the problem, not all of them but I’ll venture a sizable % of them. This is what many of us do to each other when given the opportunity. Some are a result of nurture and some nature. Capitalism (highly regulated), socialism, and communism can all work if like minded people participate and corruption is not allowed. So the challenge is to not only be intelligent but for the haves to be less selfish and more generous. 🤔
@jann @mikebrew @Jayslacks Gunn’s GotG, plus Thor, and Ant Man were my favorites followed closely by Avengers in what I describe as the Infinity Stone Saga. However all of these franchises have disappointed me in Phase 5. I don’t demand agreement 🙃, but Thor L&T bitterly disappointed, Ant Man Q, was a waste of time, and GotG 3 was dark, out of character. I’m waiting for a 2nd view to cement it’s worthiness or unworthiness.
@mikebrew @Huntn00 @Jayslacks Well, since Gunn's defection, we - in the Marvel Universe - don't care WHAT he has to say, now do we? 😉
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social I agree, we are the problem. Take the average human who has a great idea and becomes or wins millions or a $B, their selfishness more cases than not, kicks in and the rationalizing starts about what’s best for me. With more $ than we can spend, some of us actually become philanthropists. I can’t even say if I ended up there I would do any better. We are definitely not like the ants or bees and this “intelligence” we acquired seems to work against us. 😞
@Radical_EgoCom @Huntn00 And that's why I support a cooperative economic system instead of a corporate one. Cooperatives are owned by the very people who would otherwise be exploited, so the incentive to do so evaporates. And with the one share per shareholder, nobody ends up exercising undue power over others or accumulating wealth excessively.

Damn. As expected:
Steve Vladeck:
#BREAKING: #SCOTUS strikes down Harvard and UNC race-based affirmative action programs.
… says they illegally use race.
Mystal:
John Roberts says that affirmative action at Harvard and UNC violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
That means it's dead.
It's 6-3. Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissent.
@breedlov @Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social My question is, are most of us sheep just waiting to be sheared?
@Radical_EgoCom@kolektiva.social Capitalism might exist in a better state if not for the “humans” running the show. If elements like pay decent livable, even better than just livable wages, share the wealth, social safety nets, affordable health care, pensions so you don’t have to work till you drop, and big time caps on individual wealth plowed back to society it might work. However the problem is people, temptation, corruption and virtually any economic system you want to choose.
@Radical_EgoCom so worst case scenario is Just getting fired????? 🤬 Any sane place would let them rot in jail
