i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

J.D. Vance uses DEI to cover for a potentially white male pilot being at fault: "When you don't have the best standards in who you're hiring, it means, on the one hand, you're not getting the best people in government, but on the other hand, it puts stresses on the people who are already there."

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close. These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

It will save you time and mental energy if you understand that a lot of white people don’t believe anything is racism unless the person doing it is wearing a shirt that says, “I am doing this for a racism.” Plausible deniability is a social survival tool for them in a way it has never been for us.

Well I guess the upside is that Pete Hegseth will now quit drinking?

Who made this 🤣

This is exactly what it looks like (via @patriottakes.bsky.social)

The guys who sneer about Gender Studies courses are the ones who most need to take them.

There are so many things I would ban before TikTok, including SUVs and assault weapons…

I hate how people are treating the TikTok ban and having contempt for the app. That’s thousands of jobs that will be lost in an already terrible economy. Just such shortsighted thinking you can’t recognize the larger impact

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”

Many people online aren't well. It still remains jarring to read the glee with which some folks post bullshit about people who are strangers to them. Worse are the people who amplify them.

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's. Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame. This is that- but in reverse.

me buying stuff to feel something for a second

70% of the world’s population has universal healthcare, but not the US We are the only highly developed nation without it Our healthcare is twice as expensive as the average wealthy nation US ranks last among industrial nations for deaths that could be prevented with timely access to healthcare

Personally, I really wanna enjoy my life next year. No more survival mode.❤️

Depressed? Never fear, you too can temporarily escape the horrifying grips of your current reality with this one trick: A book.

Your limited beliefs have nothing to do with me.

Things to leave in 2024.. The Black woman urge to say “Don’t worry about it. I got it.” Because do worry about it. I don’t have it.

2025 is the year to be selective with who gets access to your energy. Surround yourself with people who share your values, interest, goals, positively impact your well-being. Choose people who choose you, love & cherish you, are good for your nervous system & your mental health.

What I’ve realized is a lot of people solutions only consider those that are already educated and doing the things. I focus on the people who are not, the ones yall throwaway because you don’t have the patience or understanding to listen and teach them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. saw an 18.1% increase in homelessness this year, with more than 770,000 people counted as homeless.

Exhausted but grateful, so grateful

That’s a Fine Fearsome Foursome that Beyonce bought out for the halftime performance. Brittney Spencer, Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts. All are up-and-coming country singer-songwriters we should support.

Of the top 30 NYPD overtime earners last year—all of whom earned more than $100K in OT and at least doubled their base salary—more than a third had substantiated misconduct charges or were named in a lawsuit the City paid to settle. hellgatenyc.com/nypd-overtim...

when you feel even the smallest spark of "i want to make something" or "i want to do something", do whatever it takes to hold onto that feeling, because it's so easy for your dreams to get swallowed up in the everyday struggle to survive
