@slotkin.senate.gov is one of the most white-centric Democrats in the nation. The base of the Democratic Party is Black voters. Everyone knows this. So when she’s criticizing talking to the base, she’s criticizing talking to Black voters. Slotkin was a terrible choice by Michigan Democrats.

We all deserve the same rights! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ The Trump administration is rolling back protections, putting equality at risk. Discrimination is not a policy—it’s a human rights violation. ⚖️💔 💯 @hrc.org #TransRights #LGBTQ #HumanRights

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There’s a giant ten-foot-wide archway with a sign above it that says THE NEXT LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, and Gavin Newsom keeps trying to pass through it holding a twelve-foot piece of rebar out to his sides like a tightrope walker.

The war in Ukraine is a war for historical truth. My WSJ essay about how Ukraine’s tragic past — the subject of my new novel No Country for Love — explains its determination not to succumb to Russian rule once again. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

I heard @yarotrof.bsky.social on @onthemedia.bsky.social last weekend and was instantly hooked by his searing reporting on what is happening in Ukraine and his views on human rights. I looked up his work and was happy to find this audiobook at my library. It's SO GOOD. What a writer 🇺🇦 SLAVA UKRAINI!

So tired of having to think about the goddamned president all the time. The president should have to think about me all the time. I should think about my job or anime or whatever I want.

I’m six years younger than Elissa Slotkin but I also remember the horrible Reagan years when he left the queer community to die and Black communities to drown in poverty and started the destruction of higher ed so I know any Democrat trying to take us back to that era fucking sucks

The hardest part about being angry and learning to control pure rage is also learning how to put it to good use but not letting your honest, real anger turn into bitterness (poison to you) or hopelessness (a cloud of despair infecting everyone around you) before venting out the excess.
