So I know PEPFAR claimed to have prevented >25 million deaths in 21 years Does that mean that over a million people are going to die this year who would have lived if we had kept PEPFAR? Or were the improvements front loaded? Is doge administratively murdering a million people a year?

I needed to hear this voice and these words at this moment. "This chapter will not be written simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office or wealthiest among us. The American story will be written by you, by we the people." Thank you, VP Kamala Harris. #NAACPImageAwards youtu.be/bnmKwxjMKgs?...

Let's be clear: CQ Brown was fired because Trump and Hegseth couldn't see past his skin color. General Brown has 40 years of distinguished service. Trump and Hegseth just want yes men who look like them. This is destabilizing for our nation.

Like let’s take a minute to acknowledge the fucking joke of having an all white conversation about “racism” vs “sexism” When Trump and the GOP came in on making “DEI” mean Black women And the fields resisting it are so white they are ERASING THE FIRST TARGETS IN LESS THAN THREE WEEKS

Because that would mean we had real convos about the now decades of exploiting us and using the affirmation of those white dudes to do it Often using our experiences and frame works to do it

Yeah it’s not just white dudes and almost all of them who are like this have direct histories of doing this to Black women for years And the entire field of extremist and fascism kind of left out the specific space of misogynoir

One of the first things these hopped up DOGE dudes did was put up a website of Black people MOST OF THEM BLACK FUCKING WOMEN And white folks are having a conversation about how the white boys don’t say misogyny enough

hey, if you're a Googler and not on paternity leave, a good question to put on a leadership Dory is "considering that the US government's anti-DEI order is suspended, what timeline can you commit to for reinstating Google's commitment to its diversity principles?"

I take the bold stance that misogyny is extremely bad even when it’s applied to white cis straight women with federal jobs who kinda remind you of your mom.

The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt. All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running. Keep the pressure on.

It’s racism. It’s the racism so many places used to do de facto what Trump is doing by writ And it’s really scary that while this is happening very few discussions also include the observations and reflections of Black people This is how people talk about us ALL THE TIME

Social Security has a payment accuracy rate of over 99 percent. Only 0.3 percent of Social Security benefits are improper payments, which are typically caused by mistakes or delays. That's better than any private insurance company. www.cbpp.org/blog/setting...

The aspiration must be to purge the Republican Party of those hostile to democracy by all available means.

I don’t mean to be rude about this, but since Musk isn’t the DOGE administrator, under what authority is he ordering this? If this is an order from Trump, where is it written up and why isn’t it implemented via Cabinet secretaries?

This is what Musk did when he bought Twitter Why are Republicans letting Musk act like he just bought the US government? Is that what happened? Did Musk buy the US government from the Republicans?

My ultimate goal here is to say that Musk is leading an internal insurrection against the Constitution of the United States, and anyone who collaborates with him, accommodates him, or fails to act on their authority to arrest or stop him, has violated their oath under Section 3, 14A.

Call it what you want but I think if someone needs money and I have money I have an obligation to share some of what I have. It’s not an obligation I always fulfill, but I do try to fulfill it routinely Whether you conceptualize the obligation as charity, mutual aid, tzedekah, etc fine by me
