Something that I consistently find ridiculous is how often people desire Black women to act as *inspiration* or hype people and how little people [esp but not only white people] actually heed our ideas, follow our example, or redirect their resources towards our efforts/lives.

The SHERIFF of this town got three unidentified men to violently assault a woman in public because he didn't like what she was saying - and no one stopped them. www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

Had a moment of appreciation for a history professor thinking it would be great to send an email his way, did a little searching and found a obituary 😢 thanks, where ever you are, Professor Nicholson

It’s notable that Trump cabinet secretaries and agency heads, for the most part, are acting more interested in preserving their own prerogatives against Musk’s illegal intrusions than Republican members of Congress are.

"Camps." The word you're looking for here is "camps." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

I've long said that people are sentenced to judicial rape when sentenced to prison or jail. Most people are ok with this.

Guess what, it's stress pizza time

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

so then it's not a cost-cutting team, is it

He nails it.

of course

In 2017, centrists and liberals told antifascist activists that the institutions would hold and the State would preserve basic democratic rights. Now the country is being hollowed out by literal billionaires making Hitler salutes. This should be on the cover of every newspaper.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

Here is the Email address for PBS NewsHour in the event you’d like to share your thoughts about them giving a 12 minute interview to a guy (Michael Knowles / The Daily Wire) who has called for the eradication of trans people.

By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

This what remains from my daughter's zaina room💔 A home is not just walls; it's a place where we feel safe. Help us build a better future for our children. We are still here, still struggling. Don’t forget us. Don’t let our pain be ignored. 🍉🔗 chuffed.org/project/1206...

Deescalating conflict with anyone who isn’t the enemy is my new mantra

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."

Dear friends🥹🙏 We are very close to achieving a part of our goal as we need to reach €4,000. If 20 people could each donate €20 we would achieve 20% of our target. Your support means the world to me and my brother Amir. Please stand with us🥹🙏💔 Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social 🔗 gofund.me/edb4225e

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The war is over… but our suffering continues. We have no home—only tattered tents that barely shield us. No work, no basic needs, no hope. Hunger and despair consume us. Our children ask for a future, but we have nothing to give. * plz repost or quote if you can't donate. 🔗 gofund.me/a2877172

This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

As a trans guy... if the photos being shared of me were all pre-transition, they would be missing who I really am and the most important - and happiest - years of my life. Sam Nordquist deserves the same respect - to be seen as who he truly was.

sure, mitch mcconnell cynically masterminded the plot to destroy the US constitution and american democracy, but you have to at least credit him with lifting up his own constituents in Kentucky to make it one of our richest and most prosperous... (touching earpiece) wait I'm getting new information

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

Democrats Do-One-Popular-and-Righteous-Thing Challenge: Failed again

Cowards everywhere

DOGE is a criminal enterprise to destroy the government to empower and enrich oligarchs. Any news org that uses the term "cost cutting" to describe DOGE is complicit and should be shunned.

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

JD Vance is literally helping to break America so he and the vulture capitalists can sell off the pieces.

Trump won't need the active-duty military to violently suppress widespread protests. State governors will happily call out their National Guard to suppress mass protests the same way they did in 2020. Democratic governors too.

"President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump." LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
