Did you know Michael McDonald, James Ingram, and David Pack (of Ambrosia) recorded a cover of West Side Story’s “Maria”? I just felt like you should know.

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

JUST IN: ICE van reportedly set on fire in Philadelphia

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Icon vs Artist Lost my irl devil horns. Was a tragic backstory thing. You wouldn't understand.

ok real talk for a moment though: it is nuts--NUTS--that there are still people out there that think being sexually attracted to someone means you're being less racist to them

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.

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic And what's more leftist than that

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Howard University is now a R1 university, the first HBCU with a research one designation. H-U definitely knows!

gee. weird.

One of my favorite things to be accused of is doing stuff “for attention” Bro, I’ve got a naturally 85 decibel speaking voice, and huge naturals. I’ve never had to beg for attention.

It’s #FridayReads time and we need books right now. Smart books. Rebellious books. Queer books. Bilingual books. Let’s go. Repost this and let us know what to repost for you. Here, have an angry horror/crime hybrid about friendship, revenge, & colonialism. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Been in a Ziltoid the Omniscient mood today.

This book fucken rips. I can see why small, predatory men want it banned from the entire state of Utah high schools. It calls awful men by name, looks them in their beady eyes and promises death. Will be giving it to all the teen girls I know. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social do you have a messaging system like telegram or something like that

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social can I send you something from a friend of mine in the Air Force. That friend needs to remain anonymous but it’s guidance from the air force

Holy ****

RFK saying that “Blacks” have better immune systems and shouldn’t get the same vaccines as white people should be disqualifying. But we live in really dumb times.

Important follow-up on my pinned report and my recent post about the takeover at OPM: The Washington Post has confirmed the claims below. There is indeed a takeover of the federal government happening that is being coordinated by people outside the government who have gotten access to U.S. servers.
