All Pete Hegseth talks about is being a warrior and instilling a warrior mindset in the military. Personal courage is the cornerstone of the warrior ethos. I wonder how that fits with being such a coward as to fire generals with 35 or more years of service in a press release on a Friday night.

After Ta-Nehisi Coates’ ‘Between the World and Me’ was censored in my classroom, I learned that regular people have a duty and a way to fight injustice. Here’s one example of how we can push back. I’m grateful to be a plaintiff in this case. www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...

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.

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

And media is now well aware of Elon’s shenanigans removing posts that are critical of him, changing the algorithm to favor his posts, taking down Community notes that embarrass him. So why continue describing him as a “free speech absolutist,” we must ask.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Instant block to anyone praising Mitch McConnell for voting against a few of Trump's picks. There's no one person more responsible for Trump getting back to the WH than McConnell. This hypocrite stood on the Senate floor & admitted Trump is wholly responsible for Jan 6—then refused to convict him.

🚨 Trump is considering dismantling the Department of Education. His goal is to cut programs that benefit all Americans in order to enrich his billionaire friends. This would negatively impact the success of students and schools nationwide. Investments in our schools are investments in our future!

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

We are stronger than Trump. He's a weak little man who can't spell, read or complete sentences. He only knows how to go up if you go down, go left if you right, and go white if you go Black. He's soulless, heartless and has no spirit. His pea brain says: Obama bad, me good. Fuck him. Fuck maga.
