the immensity of grief is not as debilitating as the isolation it is often accompanied by. what does liberation look like when we grieve by ourselves?
fascism is the house that cis white male fragility built. if we have learned anything, you can't fight one and ignore the other.

this is not OK. Bedrock is recording and profiting from your likeness without your expressed consent. walking around downtown and minding y/our own damn business is not consent. GTFOH
Bedrock Detroit just put this on the door of my workplace downtown. I do not consent to being filmed by Bedrock & used as a pawn for their promotional videos. We are already under Dan’s massive downtown surveillance. This #NFLDraft is out of control

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
this corporate welfare model trades tax incentives for the promise of jobs. we subsidize the coffers of billionaires while we fight over crumbs while dealing with crumbling infrastructure.
"So much of this wealth has been built on the backs of workers, supercharged by taxpayer-funded subsidies and, ultimately, extracted from the communities in which the company operates."

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA UNANIMOUSLY PASS BILL TO DIVEST $1 MILLION FUNDS FROM ISRAEL
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This was not the university but the Associated Students of UCR.
This resolution runs counter to UC Riverside’s longstanding position and practices, does not align with the university’s views, and does not affect the investment practices of the university.
