It is a twisted combination of funny and frustrating that every Nazi dog whistle they did over the past decade plus, yes, including that OK symbol thing, got downplayed into oblivion by many of the people who feel like they are just all of the sudden heiling out of nowhere.

One of the hardest things about being a Black Woman in the USA is that we are absolutely the canaries in the coal mine but none of the miners listen to us. Like we live with the feet of so many systems on our necks and still do our best to scream about the dangers ahead. It is such a mind f*ck!

It’s actually just racist because the NYT is co-signing the idea that he got his job because he is Black and there’s no evidence for this

one thing that's worth pointing out about the current wave of constituent fury at Republican town halls: the reason you're primarily seeing those viral moments in ruby red districts is because every Republican whose district is even remotely competitive is actively hiding from their constituents

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.

I'm out of practice in teaching high school students. But this month, I had occasion to speak with two high school classes for Black history month. And all I'll say is that these young people deserve everything. They are curious, they want better than what they've been given, and they want to fight.

🗣️WATCH: “Pull your head up. We got this. We are in this together.” @tequilamjohnson.bsky.social gets a standing ovation in rural Tennessee as she points to the resilience of Black folks throughout history to say Trump is not a hurdle that 🇺🇸 can’t overcome.

Been trying to buy tickets for @clppng.bsky.social for a week now, finally had to message them. Way to be super shitty to your audio processing disordered patrons, AXS! Also these 'failed attempts' are on their end, they weren't taking ANY of my cards and none of the information was incorrect.

Algorithms cannot be overwhelmed. I explained this on day one of Elon's Twitter takeover. When you contribute to a hostile platform, all you do is attract new users for the algorithm to radicalize. Simply shouting louder didn't work then, doesn't work now, and won't work at any point ever.

Look at that. Elon did call us parasites. Disability is an insurance program, not welfare. Social Security lowered senior poverty rates. It’s not right or left. It’s about the greedy taking over democracy. Repost and follow. www.snopes.com/fact-check/m...

There's something that @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social regularly says which is that you don't need to live in someone else's imagination. I think that it's so important to hold on to this. Work to create the world YOU want to live in rather than to succumb to the one designed by your enemy.
