💥The Netherlands' largest pension fund, has sold its shares in Tesla, Meta, and Alphabet (Google). The fund with US $569 billion equivolent in assets is "directing more money to companies and projects that help to improve society and the environment." #Divest www.reuters.com/markets/euro...

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: I just did. #BishopBudde #Kindness

So what about withholding our taxes this year? Put them in an account and don’t pay them. @maddow.msnbc.com @thecontrarian.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social #taxstrike #ourmoney #firemusk

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Yeah!!!!!

They’re fighting as best they can. Look at that last one.

Easy resistance. #GulfofMexico #democracy #resist

“Who the hell voted for Mr. Musk?” Paul Begala raged on CNN. “Who the hell voted for — excuse the phrase — a guy who calls himself Big Balls? A 19-year-old kid going in there and trying to fire cancer researchers and scientists and teachers and agricultural specialists. It’s, it’s appalling.”

For some relief. #winter #stillgoing #winterbeauty Words that are banned, but not by me. #feminism #gender #inclusion #DEI #transgender #equality #Prejudice #diverse #anti-racism

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*

#SHUTDOWNSENATE Share liberally. People all over America need to see those crowds!

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

Back in 2023, I started warning about a new anti-abortion talking point: 'coerced' abortion. Republicans were getting walloped on the issue at the polls, so leading antis started recommending that lawmakers change course.

Better than a strongly worded letter. Not as good as articles of impeachment. (Yes, I know they don't have the votes to impeach. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be drafting articles every day over & over again. They don't have the votes to pass this legislation either, but the ACTION is what matters."

James told hospitals that they would be in violation of New York’s anti-discrimination laws if they stop offering trans healthcare.

While everyone is talking about the price of eggs, now is a good time to find your local farms! 👩🏿‍🌾🌽🐄 Visit your Farmers' Market, ask your Extension office & browse the Black Farmers Index - they've been here the whole time, and they'll be here when the national grocery store supply chains break down.

Yes! New York State #reproductivejustice #womensrights #abortionforall #abortionrights

Elon Musk having access to the US Treasury payment systems means that he has not only the Social Security numbers of every individual who ever received a payment from the US government, but also everyone's addresses and bank account numbers and bank routing numbers. #DestroyTheRich #BadassFeminist

Some people voted for trump. Some people voted for Kamala. Some people voted 3rd party. But I guarantee you that NOBODY voted for a fucking billionaire to be raiding our Social Security. What the fuck is THIS bullshit?

In what is believed to be the first criminal case of its kind in the post–Roe v. Wade era, a New York-based telemedicine provider has been indicted in Louisiana—which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country—for supplying the abortion pill to a teenage patient in that state.

Having thrown the government into chaos, Trump now returns to his trademark idiocy of blaming everything on “DEI,” which is his all-purpose excuse for his own rank incompetence, non-existent leadership skills and pathological indifference to the needs of the people.

MAGA la migra hits my home town. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/n...

A Louisiana grand jury has indicted a New York doctor who shipped abortion medication to a patient in there. I'll have more at the newsletter shortly, but don't want to link to the coverage so far because I'm concerned about misinfo. More coming.
