Speaking as a white who interacts with and observes other whites, it's not just that we elected a Black man twice. It's that we followed that up with: Hillary Clinton, a woman and a race traitor Biden, the man who served proudly under Obama and chose Harris as VP Kamala Harris, a Black woman

Sometimes you have to choose between different kinds of grieving. In this situation, for example, you can either grieve the loss of family and the loss of the idea that you come from a decent family, OR you can grieve the loss of your own decency, empathy, and self-respect. Choose wisely.

A few days ago, @hlperic.bsky.social and I sat in on a virtual town hall with our rep, @cleaver.house.gov. That had a very different flavor. There was a question about what Congress can do, which he answered, and what we can expect, and then the questions shifted to "what can we do?"

Remember when Al Jeezera Ali Velshi spent every night last year blaming Biden Harris for the Gaza war, using Hamas propaganda to do so? He hasn’t mentioned once that Hamas murdered the kidnapped hostages including a baby 🤷‍♀️

The efficiency is breathtaking. Federal agencies like HHS and USDA reverse some layoffs www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

The lawsuits matter.

This really is the stupidest timeline.

The people freaking out the most thought they had the best insulation, which means they never cared about the people who they knew had the least insulation.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

I *struggle* to remember this, but I'm trying to get better about it. The job I have now tries to eat me alive.

I hope they all join ashley.

Do Not Comply

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

My yoga pants are my superpower.

This! There is data on here worth looking at. All I will add is that people have been alternately pinning their hopes on and shitting on youth for millennia. People are people. And white people will be racist till we learn not to be. There's no waiting it out.
