Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

The President has been throwing tariffs around like a crackhead in a dodgeball game, so no, a rise in inflation is not unexpected it was in fact predicted by anyone not on Planet Sulzberger www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

it is genuinely incredible that all you have to do is scratch the surface and it becomes clear that each of these guys is a huge piece of shit

Any news outlet reporting Mexico conceded anything to Trump to get him to delay tariffs has not done its homework. Trump boasts he got Mexico to commit to stationing 10K troops at our border. Apparently he didn't realize Mexico already has 15K troops deployed there prami.ibero.mx/informes-y-i...

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.

I’m old enough to remember Senator Tuberville holding up promotions on a whim. @senatedemocrats.bsky.social you have power for a reason. Use it.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

This is good

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.” And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus. And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires. So the GOP mocked it.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Premier of Canada's British Columbia calls to stop buying liquor from US 'red' states and remove it from some shelves.

this hurts worse than the tariffs 😭

Despite being an official campaign partner and hosting Trump events, the mainstream media never once asked Trump about Kirk’s attacks on Black pilots, Black professionals, MLK, and the Civil Rights Act.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, or scream... or all of the above.

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli

Let’s all calm down and review for a moment. Other than sow fear and chaos he really hasn’t accomplished anything of great import or lasting. He’s removed some holidays and words from federal documents. For instance, Black History Month. Is it still Black History Month at your house? It is at mine.

Canada is not the problem

Maybe it's better not to mess around with certain federal functions. It's not a game.

It’s not that @driftglass.bsky.social and I hold it together in these dark times, it’s that we’re *always* angry. #NotOverNixonsPardon #Iraq #JohnMcCainsThumb #IYKYK

Not a surprise. But important dynamic for 2025 is that I expect Eric Adams to make NYC essentially a staging ground for ICE in his efforts to secure a pardon. You rob a bank because that’s where the money is. Mar a Lago/pardons, etc.

I very much believe in the future of humans in space. And... I very much do not believe the future of humans in space should be in the hands of megalomaniacal narcissistic oligarchs.

Elon's spaceship imploding before it barely gets off the ground has to be a metaphor for his new administration

a real mask off moment for big tech oligarchs

I had to explain to 5 Dems today what an Oligarchy is. Maybe Meta will do a tutorial?

Nobody cares.

I will be spending Monday, Martin Luther King's birthday, doing what I usually do: Posting his historic speeches and sharing the songs written about him. I'm not going to sully the day one minute with Yambo.
