2. Thomas Nast

From the Bill of Rights Institute:

"Tweed feared Nast’s cartoons to a much greater extent than newspaper articles, because many of his constituents were illiterate, and he even offered Nast a bribe to stop these public criticisms. Tweed was right to fear this criticism because Nast’s cartoons helped lead to his downfall and arrest in 1876. Tweed died in jail in 1878, and Nast continued to draw for Harper’s Weekly until 1886."

Absolute legend. No notes.

When my mom died, she left a large home filled with expensive and luxurious things

That we donated almost in its entirety

Since then I have developed a true unease with stuff—no matter how fancy it might be—it just becomes a burden

So I keep trying. 💜

The fact that Russia is fighting so hard to occupy Ukraine while at the same time they’ve occupied the U.S. without a single shot being fired shows the difference between Ukrainians and Americans.

You are much closer to being homeless than you are to being a billionaire. Stop worshipping your oppressors.

Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles

With two months left in office, the president for the first time authorized the Ukrainian military to use the system known as ATACMS to help defend its forces in the Kursk region of Russia. - NYTimes

Humankind has two choices:

1. Fight climate change now.

2. Go extinct.

It sounds painfully obvious to choose door #1 and yet governments, corporations, billionaires and republicans are choosing extinction over addressing climate change.
