Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

Casually bringing this back… #OCanada 🍁

the fact that this is just a straightforward retelling of yesterday's events without hyperbole

Stephen King has returned to Twitter. 10/10. No notes. 🔥

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

How was this contract awarded??!

Not even six hours apart.

The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Just wonderful writing on the 60 Minutes piece on President aMusk dismantling of USAID "The world's richest man cut off aid for the world's poorest people." Well done.

Everyone get all the photos you can, since we know we can't trust the National Archives... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

The university that declares “We are not throwing trans kids under the bus, we are not ending diversity and inclusiveness efforts, and we are not opening our doors to ICE agents” would not only be uniquely heroic but would be doing some strong branding work on the cheap.

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

This is deeply disturbing. Minnesota stands with our LGBTQ neighbors against this unthinkable crime. I’m grateful to the law enforcement agencies investigating. Gwen and I send our deepest condolences to Sam’s family and community. apnews.com/article/new-...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

This is probably the most accurate take.

Canada has never been more united

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter. Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can. Why is this hard for some of y'all?

This is a photo I took a few years ago of a White-throated Sparrow in the snow at my house. I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I was taking this shot. #birds #snowflake #nature

People who write about "this is the wrong fight to pick," never ever actually fight for anything. Feel free to ignore them.

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

I don’t know about you, but I’ve waited all my life to read the words “Kennedy Center presents ‘Death of a Salesman’ starring Scott Baio.”

Yes think about how judges are supposed to decide if things the president does are constitutional, and why the richest man in the world who just bought the election might not be into that.

Feels like a metaphor

This. No peace. No quiet. Shame them.

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE —this it #history you are erasing and FUCK you

The top-earning female athlete was tennis champ Coco Gauff, who earned $30.4 million, having won French Open doubles & singles at the end-of-season WTA Finals. The total income of the #100 male player, Minn. Vikings quarterback Daniel Jones, was $37.5 million. womensagenda.com.au/life/sport/n...

Listen. The Right under Trump/Musk want to pit us against each other and sow despair. But there are no divisions now. We’re all ‘other’ to them. #Black #woman, #transgender #LGBTQIA+, #disabled, an #immigrant, #refugee, #indigenous not-white, for #climatejustice #socialjustice We must STAND together

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Believing that Tulsi Gabbard — longtime Russian asset and newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence — is acting in the interests of the United States requires an extraordinary level of self-delusion.
