He nails it.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Elephant article title of the week.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

America was created so we wouldn't have to live under a King.

It's not lost on me that the two Democratic electeds talking consistently to regular people right now are AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Dassit.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

A lot of Americans are suddenly waking up to the fact that we're the bad guys globally. I hate to break it to a lot of folks who think Trump invented this but we always have been. We've been killers expanding a military & economic empire that devastated a lot & there's always been resentment of us.

Black Americans truly brought democracy to America. Remember this during Black History Month. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

QUOTE OF THE DAY…

I wish we all can live by this song…. youtu.be/3JvkaUvB-ec?...

With Handmaids Tale people focus on the shock of the mass rapes in the book and the show. But how the regime came to be in power in that book keeps me awake at night because it is playing out in very intricate detail in our real lives right now.

Here's my short PSA on Substack today. Seriously go take care of yourselves today. Get off social media if you have to. If you must be on then post up positive and uplifting stuff.

Americans don't do history. That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

A message from #AltGov:

The Usher halftime show came and went... Rih announced a pregnancy during hers and it lasted one business day... We on Day 5 of heated discussion abt Kendrick's halftime show. 5. Whole. Days. And. Counting. ...but I'm supposed to believe it was trash.

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Deceased 🤣💀

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

Wishing everyone a peaceful evening during this stressful time as we continue to defend our democracy.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.

A moment for petty resistance: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. Click on the 3 little dots to the right of "Gulf of America" 3. "Send Feedback" 4. Click on "Gulf Of America" text 5. Select "Inaccurate content" 6. Select "Incorrect" & type "The rest of the world calls it Gulf of Mexico" or what I wrote👇

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?
