This is a rather telling statement. Nearly a third of women in Louisiana are Black. www.businessinsider.com/gop-senator-...

Good morning! Drink some water. Take your meds. If you’re protesting at a state capitol today, turn off location tracking on your phone and switch to a passcode to unlock, not face recognition. Write important numbers on your arm in Sharpie in case you lose your phone. Don’t talk to cops. #resist

The first official telephone contact Tr*mp had in his second term was with Mohammed bin Salman from Saudi Arabia. The first head of state he invited to the WH was Bibi Netanyahu. What does that tell you?

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

NASA Ordered to Remove Anything About ‘Women in Leadership’ From Its Websites: Report "This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request." So, they did. gizmodo.com/nasa-ordered...

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

At the heart of this insanity are two insecure men that no one ever really liked or respected, and they know it. Their supporters fawn, praise or fear them - but they know it isn’t love or respect. Still, they demand more, always more. Their hearts are black holes - and nothing will fill the void.

Remember that feeling when everyone was looking at the eclipse and our hearts were full? We aren’t meant to hate each other.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

We are at the point of the fascist autocoup where the interim US Attorney is replying to an anonymous pro-Nazi account who wants to see someone punished for simply sharing the names of Elon Musk's lackeys who have gotten access to extremely sensitive government data systems.

They're discouraging, and getting in the way of, people from doing the work they love, they're dedicated to, and that serves others. And these are 1930s Germany methods.

New Berlin is about 25 minutes or so drive away from Kenosha - a.k.a. Where Kyle Rittenhouse cosplayed and killed people. Wisconsin/Illinois has some issues with crazy white boys www.tmj4.com/news/waukesh...

In hindsight, everyone likes to pretend they didn't know about the camps. The Germans who lived just outside their walls, the armies who found the camps as the nzis retreated. WE DIDNT KNOW! But they did know. Many articles and books were written about the ramping action against Jewish people in DE

Remember this?

Trump during the election: No new wars! Trump after inauguration: We’re going to send the U.S. military in to conquer Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, and the Panama Canal!

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

The DOGE kids showing up at Treasury:

We are experiencing a hostile government takeover. Period!

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP???

Oligarchy doesn’t even begin to describe what this is

I’m not usually a Crown Royal drinker but tonight I am. Fuck Trump. 🇨🇦

Thank you, Canada!

Aid Access and Planned Parenthood are both being suppressed on IG. With net neutrality struck down, internet service providers could also block access to repro info. The march to fascism is actually a sprint

The right is attacking Selena Gomez to make people afraid of speaking out. It’s a well-coordinated attack using the vast digi infrastructure they’ve built. And it will unfortunately work to keep many people with platforms quiet. Engage with the posts of people who speak out anyway

Other than @mollyfortexas.bsky.social, no Dem got video up about the voucher hearing today. The right’s flooded the zone with content, on our side: crickets! Rs aren’t fighting for their bills on the floor, they’re fighting for them online and shifting narratives! Here’s what Ds need to do 🧵 #txlege

The White House has posted a video to attack Selena Gomez. Our federal government, on an official government page, has attacked a private citizen for speaking out. This is to silence anyone else who dares to speak out. That should be chilling to any American

Remembering the late great PAUL NEWMAN - born 100yrs ago today.

No this isn't about immigration. Other countries refused the Trump regime's bullshit deportation flights. This is about attacking Columbia's first left leaning President in our modern era.

So people know, Colombia didn't block deportations. The refused the abusive military flights that had their countrymen shackled in handcuffs. They demanded they be flown in under the usual deportation method and be shown respect.

📢 SAY IT LOUDER!!!!

My DEI money will be spent in DEI spaces.

Unfair

Yes, it can happen again. 👀
