Jesus said he came to bring good news to the poor. Those in power who are claiming they want a “Christian nation” are only bringing good news to the rich and powerful while creating cruel conditions for the poor. They want “Christianity” without the inconvenience of Christ.

I want the Tesla Board of Directors to understand that I don't give a shit if they replace Musk. Keep him, oust him, it doesn't matter. I'm still gonna do the same thing: boycott Tesla and encourage others to do the same. They made a choice to enable Musk, and there are now consequences to be had.

Phoenix Ikner: I am a white supremacist. I love Donald Trump. I hate Black and brown people. Trump says universities are liberal propaganda machines. I’m convinced white people are under attack. Corporate Media: He had such a rough childhood and we just cannot fathom his motivation??? 😑

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”. It’s about racism. It’s about state terror. It’s about dehumanization. Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

Not former potus saying Harvard has set a precedent for other universities and I have to hold myself back from mentioning Wesleyan, Georgetown law, Rutgers faculty senate, etc. What we're not gonna do is erase the Jesuits! Sigh, let me reread Elite Capture.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Vance, Hegseth, Trump shit on the intelligence and accomplishment of Black people for sport all as a way of confirming for white Americans the myth that the dumbest, most incompetent, most morally reprehensible white men are preferable to the most decent, prepared, hard-working Black person.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is 6 years old and sadly more relevant than ever. As a Christian, I don’t hate Christianity. I hate what the MAGA Evangelical Christians have done to it.

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC: I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment. Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that. No plan, no donation.

The MAGA faithful are finally beginning to realize that Elon’s tech bros think they’re lazy, uneducated and unmotivated. These self-serving tech bros took advantage of gullible MAGA voters just so they can slash regulations, lower their taxes, and protect their business interests in China.

I don't care that Biden pardoned his son to protect him. I care that he's done literally nothing else with the awesome power of the presidency to pardon thousands in prison, to cancel student debt in full & force Trump to revive it, & to commute the death penalty www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-real-i...

I pray the pardon of Hunter Biden, which was the right thing to do, will be followed in short order by the commutation of the death sentences of every person on federal death row, and that Leonard Peltier will at long last be released. #ClearTheRow #FreeLeonardPeltier

Everyone’s directing their hate at Garland today, but I’ve got enough rage go around. John Roberts and the corrupt Seditious Six can GFT.

Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, Ginni Thomas, Martha Alito, John Roberts, Sam Alito, and Clarence Thomas love it when you blame Garland and Biden for the fact that the Supreme Court stopped the cases against Trump.

Remember: colonizers branded those defending their ancestral lands as hating White people, enslavers framed abolition as harmful to White people, lynchers cast Black empowerment as White disempowerment, segregationists labeled desegregation as anti-White. 1/2

Relieved to be away from the X hellscape and Threads nightmare. Glad to be in this space with other creatives and social justice warriors. Now, about “skeeting”… Really?! That’s the best word for this??
