When Ronald McNair was 9, he was forbidden to check out books from a library. Refusing 2 leave, he stayed while the librarian called the police & his Mom. The police ordered the librarian to check him out a book.💥 Today’s #CupOfJoe celebrates his strength. #BlackHistoryMonth

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

New guidance has been shared with coalition members. If you’re outside the coalition, please download anything you might need. Terminations will escalate this coming week.

So, for all those times in the last 70 years that someone said "why didn't the good people of Germany stop him?" I think maybe we are seeing the answer.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

FYI, this is a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte who, in the end, not even his closest generals would follow his command. He died- alone, exiled on an island in the South Atlantic. I’m okay if Trump suffers the same fate…

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

I loved the halftime show and thought Samuel L "Uncle Sam" Jackson's role was dark, delightful and anarchist. @kendricklamar.bsky.social had full possession of the act.

The discomfort of defunding the broligarchy is a small price to pay. Get off Meta platforms. Leave X if you haven't already. Discontinue your Prime membership. COLLECTIVE action works. And ffs sell that }^£?~{*£!~ Tesla.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Fresh off another chapter of "An Unfinished Love Story" by Kearns-Goodwin, listening to folk music and postcarding to WI voters. Is this 1967 or 2025? #PoliticsFullCircle

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
