Every month should be a #PrideMonth. But until we work toward that future, happy Pride Month, everybody.
Today was the 102 year anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre in which white supremacist terrorists mass murdered 300 Black Americans.
Here's how media reported on it—a complete erasure of Black people.
Three Tulsa survivors—Hughes Van Ellis, 102, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 108, and Viola Fletcher, who just turned 109, are with us today. They are the oldest living survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre. They have received $0 reparations.
This isn't ancient history. It's contemporary reality.

Doctors spreading pro-infection narratives are as bad as firemen who moonlight as arsonists. Revoke their MDs. It should be clear by now that we can’t rely on professional ethics.
This is what organized abandonment feels like. It has always existed. You can't unsee it.
This government does not give a shit whether you live or die, only that you live long enough to contribute to its wealth and you die before you become a drain on that wealth.
🙌 Thank you very much newsie. social. 👐

Matthew Taylor notes that, though white evangelicals are a significant part of Trump's base, among white evangelicals, his most ardent supporters are nondemonimational Charismatic evangelicals. With their emphasis on prophecies and God directly intervening in politics, they played a key role in the Jan. 6 attempted coup.
So guess which set of evangelicals Roger Stone and Mike Flynn, both raised Catholic, are courting, and why?

@futurebird @earthworm @madoc @donmelton The best example of this is income tax and tax returns. We could have zero income tax on income earned through employment, instead the exact same amount paid as payroll tax by employers, and virtually nobody would be upset about paying taxes. It's structured the way it is very intentionally to fuel backlash against government spending.

Dear humans in my computer,
My much-anticipated kidney transplant has fallen through at the last moment, and I'm once again in need of prospective donors.
Giving up a vital organ is absolutely not a decision to be taken lightly, but if you're willing to sign up to get screened, you can start by going through this informational form that @jen put together, and then we'll get in touch with next steps: https://airtable.com/shrO3WE9PxUjtopsq
Thank you <3
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
