I’m just so fucking sad about it all.

This is essential!

Just stopped to tell a postal carrier I know they can’t be political but just wanted to say thank you for all they are doing and how grateful the majority of us are for their work. Their tears brought tears to my eyes. Take a moment and say thanks. It might mean as much for you as it does for them.

happy may day here is a painting I did a long time ago

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

We are no longer headed toward fascism. We're right in the heart of downtown fascism.

My fondest wish on this Easter morning is that everyone who calls themselves a Christian would start behaving like they understand what that means and what Jesus actually said and did. 🐰

North Carolina! ❤️‍🩹

Rip Chief Pontiac, Odawa leader, died this day 1769. "They came with a Bible and their religion, stole our land, and crushed our spirit, and now tell us we should be thankful to the Lord for being saved."

Happy Easter and/or a blazing 4/20 to you, depending on your own personal inclinations

10 years today without my dad. Feels especially heavy this year knowing he’d be the one member of my family with whom I’d be able to commiserate the state of our country. Glad you didn’t have to see it though, padre!

Let's elevate the fighters: Van Hollen for risking his life to find Abrego Garcia in El Salvador Booker for his 25 hr speech to expose on Trump & Musk's corruption Schatz for blocking 300 Trump nominees Bernie & AOC for rallying hundreds of thousands of Americans Newsom for suing Trump over tariffs

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime. The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

In a system built to break spirits, this letter is a quiet act of defiance. It speaks of hope that endures, dignity that persists, and a future still worth fighting for. Even in the darkest places, resistance finds a voice. Let it echo. (1/2) #FreeMahmoud #FreeKhalil #DefendDissent #BringThemBack

I feel like being really into AI is a character flaw.

if you grew up on noxema and st ives apricot scrub, gone and schedule that mammogram my love.

weird, what could explain this

happy confederate surrender day to all

All I’m saying is a woman has never crashed the economy

Either we all have rights or none of us do. It's really that simple.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for hotness, I would rate myself a good listener

Millions of people took to the streets yesterday to send a message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Even during these dark days, remember that you are not alone. Solidarity.

I kind of want to go

Newsom: The world we’ve come to know—and some of us revere and love. The country. All of that is now at risk because of the recklessness—and there’s no other way to describe it—of one individual: the President of the United States.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie. Same as it ever was.

The important thing to understand about the Trump administration is that it is always lying. It isn't simply indifferent to the truth; it has contempt for it and for those who tell it. This must be broadly understood.

For ALL PROTESTERS Please watch & share *IMPORTANT PSA* #Resistance Remember: ALL STATE CAPITALS Saturday, April 5th ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻💙💙💙✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

Enslaved women utilized the power of medicinal herbs as an act of resistance, preserving ancestral traditions & healing their communities without approval. By treating ailments, they built resilience against high mortality. 147 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

I would probably be a lot more fired up about this #SignalGate thing if I thought there was any chance at all that anyone would suffer any consequences as a result of this unfathomable fuck up

How many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn’t see?

Me in the national security group chat

Raise your hand if you didn't accidentally reveal top secret war plans today. 🙋‍♂️

It’s funny how the people who were sooo up in arms in the name of preserving history when the confederate monuments were torn down are so quiet when the accomplishments of women and people of color are erased by the government It’s almost as if it was never about preserving history
