Thank you, Southwest Airlines

Self-care sounds nice and all but it ain’t putting a dent in what needs to be stopped. When do the concepts of critical mass, a tipping point, and karma start?

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

You guys, something HAS to give here. How do you cope on a daily basis?

hey, YOU!! I just want to let you know that it's ok if you fall apart sometimes... Tacos fall apart and we still love them!

Happy Black History Month Annie Easley (1933-2011) was a mathematician-computer scientist who worked for NASA doing rocket-science. She also worked on damage to the ozone layer and contributed to technological foundations of weather satellites. #BlackHistoryMonth #EarthScience #Weather

Trayvon Benjamin Martin would’ve been 30 today.

CHUCK SCHUMER: *self-immolates at the steps of the capitol while holding a boombox over his head blasting "wake up" by RATM* ME: ok not what i meant by "do something" but like. fuck yeah

Today, California honors Rosa Parks, a lifelong fighter for justice whose brave act of defiance sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped power a civil rights movement. Her bravery inspires and fuels our commitment to fighting for equality and freedom for all.

Wish I knew somebody who was in one of the two halls of Congress right now.

YES! Chuck, where do you live? Can you call your Senator?

Ok man, I’ll tell them

Just stopping by to tell you I’m still afloat….

Since Congress is not doing anything in session, they should be doing this👇🏻 John Lewis style - marches, sit-ins, bullhorns and signs. If Biden and Harris can walk a picket line, every Dem member of Congress can start all kinds of good trouble. 😤😤

Happy Day 1 Black History Month. Thank you, Alice Walker, for your work, and for this story: harpers.org/archive/1973...

Can we not predict their next move in a preemptive fashion as to disrupt them? Where is the puck going next? They’re not smart. In short, I think we need to cause major disruptions in order to DISTRACT them from their next moves. That’s all I got. I’m here to help in any way.

What do we do? I’ve been agonizing over this. What comes to mind isn’t crystal clear but Gretzky’s (no longer a fan) quote “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been,” enters my head daily. Just being in a constant horrified reaction period isn’t doing anything. 🧵1/

Black History is American History.

And people watching Fox will believe this shit!

✅ DEI Employer of the Day™ Albertsons (Safeway...) "commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging as well as thoughtful people practices are core elements of the company’s philosophy" "We believe that diverse perspectives strengthen and enrich our stores, our company and our society."

Once again, a fundamental reason why so many academics despise Trump, Vance, Musk & company is that we’ve all had our share of The Guy Who Didn’t Do The Reading But Demands to Be Heard

Today’s mood.

Only a demented bigot who told people to put bleach in their bodies to fight COVID would say diversity caused a plane crash

I broke down sobbing over the state of the world this morning while I was feeding the cats. But you have to keep going, cats will need more food.
