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.

🧵 It’s Sunday morning, and eggs are still expensive, so here’s a pro baking tip: You can replace eggs with baking soda & vinegar. This works really well for pancakes (and even cakes, muffins, and quick breads). Here’s how ⬇️ (1/4)

Just incredible. Great work, as always, by HHS.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

It’s pretty wild to watch a governor in a wheelchair trying to take away accommodations for disabilities…

The White House blocked an AP reporter from President Trump's news conference with India's prime minister over AP's style decision to stick with the name “Gulf of Mexico." apnews.com/article/ap-w...

“I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about” - Beyoncé after winning Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter”

Excellent post

Wherever my mom goes, she makes friends. This weekend, it was these high school students who fell in love with her and just HAD to have a photo.

People who don’t communicate frustrate me.

According to one team, the NFL is not allowing them to post on Bluesky. http://dlvr.it/THZb8S

On today’s episode of “if Obama” If Obama fired over a dozen inspectors general in the middle of the night, the media would have (appropriately) excoriated him over the illegality and absolutely tanked his approval ratings Trump does it, and CNN calls it a “shakeup” Shameful.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!” I really felt that.

I didn’t see this reported anywhere either: global protests about our election!

I’m traveling with my mom. She’s in her 80s and has never met a person she doesn’t like. She’s amazing. I, on the other hand, know far too much about some of the people she talks to. They can stay the hell away from my mom.

I’m at the Dodge City basketball tournament, which I have been attending since 1997. My parents brought my sons here every other year to watch my husband coach his basketball team. Last night my youngest became the third and final son to play in the tourney.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave. This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

Please join me in sending e-mails to [email protected]. Being serious—if they're using the address to expose folks in government who value diversity, let's hit them—hard. I've attached an e-mail I just sent.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

The Trump administration revoked a Biden-era policy that “prohibited arrests by U.S. immigration agents at or near schools, places of worship, hospitals and other healthcare facilities; shelters; relief centers; and public demonstrations, like rallies and protests.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-i...

This is the guy who started the Silk Road dark website which was used the facilitate major global drug trafficking. Was serving life in prison. But when Trump wanted the Libertarian Party endorsement he promised them this. He never heard of Ulbricht. Even spelled his name wrong.

I've been on Twitter since 2009. With the goal of promoting the local comic book store & comic creators to improve the industry. A lot of connections happened there. A lot of sales for my store & other stores. Tonight, New Comic Book Day Eve posts are Blue Sky EXCLUSIVE. Let's see how it goes.

Please buy books and read them. It will matter moving forward.

The U.S. is observing Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the federal holiday set aside to honor the life of the civil rights icon. But in Alabama and Mississippi, Monday is also Robert E. Lee Day in honor of the Confederate general.

Joy Reid: "You can't purchase adoration." The streets of Washington DC are DESERTED for trump.

Over $56,000 raised for the Humane Society during our Puppy and Kitten Inauguration so far to help animals affected by the LA fires! Come join us:

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Methodist bishops aren’t mincing words: “Deplorably, racist, xenophobic, nationalistic, and anti-migrant hate speech has become standard rhetoric for many US politicians, including President-elect Donald Trump.” www.unitedmethodistbishops.org/files/websit...

Rep. James Clyburn at an event celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. in South Carolina: "Joe looks beyond our zip codes and addresses our needs. That's why his first piece of legislation, the Rescue Plan, took over 50% of the little children living in poverty out of poverty overnight."

Jesus was in the grave longer than TikTok was banned. This is theater 🎭
