Arkansas Progressive Democrats stand with community allies to stop Entergy's rate hikes. November 17, 2025 9 am.

Monday morning! #arpx #arbluedots

If they can afford to give data centers huge rate cuts, then they can afford to improve their infrastructure without raising our rates. If you can be there- BE THERE. @50501movement.bsky.social #crypto #datacenters #extractive #exploitative

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza For months Israel kept food shipments to Gaza far below starvation rations. Now the death toll is rising rapidly

Okay. Bring on the hate…

All imma say is, this, #Israel actions on #Gaza, is NOT a good PR look for Israel and Jewish people in general.

Check my feed, all I want are #societiesOfCate, not #capitalist-driven and #extractive societies.
