Thank you, Canada for the much needed medicine! apnews.com/article/cana...

On Lyft, you can round up to support an organization of your choice. I’m choosing Human Rights Campaign: www.lyft.com/round-up?c=M...

In honor of Black History Month, I am planning to read James Baldwin’s Go Tell It On The Mountain and @angiethomas.bsky.social’s The Hate U Give, purchased via Thrift Books

To my LGBTQ+ community: you are seen, you are valued, I am here with you.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you what we are witnessing isn’t real or isn’t serious.

If you voted for Trump and are still supporting his administration, you are a Nazi sympathizer. You are supporting concentration camps, a regime of terror against non-whites, the creation of a Gestapo-like FBI, alliances with Axis powers, and the social erasure of women and minorities.

Who voted for this felon? Was it purely out of vindictive spite? Who is on the list that you even have empathy for?

I am pro feeding kids, pro curing diseases, pro healthcare for all, and pro living wage.

With minorities being expelled from public sector roles, people being rounded up, and DEI values getting stricken from corporate operations, I want to understand what effective resistance strategies we learned from WW II. What podcasts or reading should I be doing?

@maddow.msnbc.com thank you for the “zoomed-out” perspective you brought to the pod! Understanding the potential axis strategy of the Trump administration cuts through the chaos fatigue

In lighter news, the Star Wars Lego switch game is super fun! Now I have to decide if I’ll be good and only play it with my kiddo..

Done with Target and called their customer service to let them know it was because they no longer support DEI.

@aoc.bsky.social we are ready to get to work, but it’s being a good neighbor, not a successful capitalist that motivates us. We welcome personal and state sovereignty. Pro-environment and anti-poverty. Pro-Innovation and quality of life. These concepts aren’t in opposition.

There are no operating instructions coming. We have to write them.

Listening to the Ezra Klein conversation with @chrislhayes.bsky.social about attention and wondering how women can be successful political leaders without falling into the trap of having to entertain Madonna or whore archetypes.
