If there’s one thing I hope everyone is learning with all the dismantling of DEI initiatives is that no corporation is going to save us. We are the only ones that can save ourselves through community.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

The main thing that needs to break through right now in the political discourse is the fact that the tech guys inspiring/funding/carrying out the coup have been very public about wanting to hit CTRL-ALT-Delete on democracy. The sooner Democrats show these receipts to the public, the better.

Recently an old friend said he wanted to emigrate b/c "Where is the fight? I don't see anyone fighting!" and folks, people are out there fighting. Find them and join them. And if no one is fighting? Then YOU need to fight. You doing the right thing should not depend on what other people do.

I heard Ezra Klein on a podcast saying that "the resistance" was "dead" before 2 weeks ago and I BEG people to put ACTUAL organizers on air. Please. Klein etc... simply DO NOT UNDERSTAND activism or organizing or social movements. Get people into the media who actually do.

“You’re going to need somebody who is willing to break the stranglehold of the two-party system.... What we need is someone who can coalesce the energies in this country ... into another party which can respond to the needs of the people. The Democratic Party cannot do it.” —James Baldwin, 1968

This may seem like "whatever," but erasing groups from public consciousness starts small. First, minimize outrage and let discourse be diluted, then erase media. www.theverge.com/news/608858/...

The reason the current admin is rolling out so much at one time is because they are attempting to desensitize & exhaust us mentally/emotionally so that we become fatigue & capitulate. I know it’s a lot but we cannot normalize what is happening the next few years. Keep Hope Alive! ✊🏾

(1/2) I need everyone to STOP FEEDING the narcissist in office. Stop attributing things passed to him. Stop mentioning his name. An executive order we need to see for our safety gets passed? Keep it simple: “White House passes….” One sentence. Name the policy and the immediate outcomes.

Genuinely curious why 100+ TikTok creators aren’t coming together to build a platform to publish their videos/host an audience? We don’t have to wait for tech bro’s to create and own this shit. Think outside the box… I hope everyone recognizes the power we have and mobilizes accordingly

HEY. HEY. Yes, you. 🫵🏾 DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders. Take a deep breath. It's only day 2. Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall. This is a marathon

I want people in this country to blame Republicans for bad things that Republicans do and Democrats for bad things that Democrats do. The mess that Republicans do is on Republicans first and foremost. We may disagree with Dem responses to it (and I do) but they are not, in fact, MORE responsible.

Citizens United v. FEC gave the wealthy more power, sidelining everyday voters, especially in Black communities. This fuels voter suppression and limits representation. It's time to put voters back in control.

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

What if we lived in a country that protected us from what really threatens us instead of funding pork-barrel projects and old-school belligerence? The below may not be the exact formula but, like everything else, protection and safety could use reassessment.

I have struggled with my role is as an Arabic speaker with a platform, in the face of the need in Gaza. I have decided to start a series I'm calling “Voices of Gaza” that tells a fuller story of people’s lives and dreams beyond victimhood. I hope you'll help amplify.
