This is what a rigged system looks like.

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.

This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.

Never doubt your power to change the system.

For years Iris lived on a chain after being used for breeding. There wasn't even shelter from the rain or the sunshine.

The day I found her she was as broken as a dog could be.

To see her now, healthy again and with her family on a day trip is just perfection. She couldn't be any happier ❤️

Pet your dogs, everyone, and appreciate that they have no idea what is happening in this fucked up world.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

People in the US really don't know the only reason Iran has a religious theocracy is that the US overthrew the democratically elected gov't in Iran, and installed the brutal Shah, because they wanted to control their own oil ?
Really ????

Bernie Sanders: "This is what they used to make science fiction movies about."

This is Stan. He is the guardian of the stairs. It's his first day and he's a little nervous. Really hoping you don't try to pass. 12/10 (TT: stanthehotdawg)

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that?

When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that?

When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that?

But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote?

Yeah?

Best friend doggos reunited after a week apart.

We only rate dogs. This appears to be a kangaroo stuck in your trunk. Please release him he doesn't belong there. And only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (TT: saussagedawggg)

People think I’m being alarmist when I say they are trying to make you dumb. They feel entitled to control how and to what extent you can access knowledge. They send their kids to tech-free schools while ensuring public school kids can’t read. They want you illiterate.
