For wolves, a black coat isn’t just fashionable—it’s a lifesaver!🐺 Scientists found that the gene for black fur in wolves protects against distemper. With black wolves better able to fight off certain diseases, they're preferred mates for gray wolves. science.org/content/article/…

Did you know that the for-profit cash bail system exists only in the U.S. and the Philippines? Did you know that 500,000 human beings are in jail cells right now separated from their families before being convicted of anything, most of them solely because they can pay cash?

Most people have absolutely no idea what the police bureaucracy actually does. Cops commit millions of physical and sexual assaults every year and only spend 4% of their time on what cops themselves call violent crime. teapawt.net/equalityAlec/status/14…
THREAD: I have studied crime data and police violence for years. I have come away from this work with the firm belief that police commit orders of magnitude more illegal physical assaults than the number of arrests that they make for serious crime.

As the federal government chases pregnant mares and newborn foals with helicopters, we're launching ads in Colorado to raise awareness around this cruel and unnecessary practice. Check out the full TV spot: youtu.be/KmU_c5QKbtw

Our family in the south keep showing us what we need to do and we keep ignoring it.
BREAKING: Indigenous peoples in Ecuador again show the way. After leading an incredible nationwide strike for 18 days, they just forced the US-backed President to lower fuel prices and slow oil drilling. Resistance is necessary. Protest works. theguardian.com/world/2022/j…

I think the biggest flaw in perspective most Americans have is we take our position in the World Order for granted. On an international scale we are DYING. I'm a freak for history and trying to get normal people to understand shit so indulge me for a second while I rant:

Has anyone seen all the breathless news coverage of the epidemic of NYPD officers arrested so far this year? No? Hmm? I wonder why there is so little coverage of the many cases below?

THREAD. I was invited to give a lecture at Oxford last week about police and prisons in the United States. After my talk, a student from Europe asked me if there was any hope to avoid fascism in the U.S. given the state of U.S. police and corporate media. A few thoughts.

A story that's not getting enough national attention: Here in the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area for the past 13 years, the FBI and local law enforcement officials left the impression that a white girl on vacation was abducted by a 16-year-old black dude who did evil things to her. 1/

Ok stop with equating people upset about gas prices to people that aren’t compassionate. Fact is there no reason for the skyrocketing gas prices other than greed, and secondly, cost of living has skyrocketed over the past 10 years without matching wage increases.

Exxon Mobil: highest profit in 7 years Chevron: highest profit in 7 years Shell: highest profit in 7 years BP: highest profit in 8 years Gas prices: highest in 7 years guess it's just that inflation

THREAD. I noticed something fascinating: around the same time in recent days, each major corporate news source began talking about a new crime hysteria: a supposed crisis of theft from the railroad industry. But if you look deeper, something very scary is happening.

being lied to, manipulated, and deceived makes trusting anyone/everyone and anything/everything HARD; damn near impossible. don’t know what or who trust. nothing feels right because everything feels dishonest. it’s such a horrible state to be in. such an immense lack of clarity.

I don't know how much more evidence it's gonna take for people to realize the politicians don't give a damn about you, the media is lying to you, their agencies are manipulating you and the corporations that own it all only see you as a consumer and a worker to exploit.
