Time to future-proof our memories. Period. @mspackyetti.bsky.social @jotakaeaddy.bsky.social @winwithblkwomen.bsky.social #winwithblackwomen

“Memory work is freedom work” @mspackyetti.bsky.social 🙌🏾

Cross: These are actually Republicans too Jennings: Of the two of us, who would know more about Republicans? They are not Republicans Cross: Of the two us, who is more trustworthy? I would argue me

Really boosting my energy and my heart watching stateoftheprooke.media So many great content creators and wise voices like @mspackyetti.bsky.social talking about creative subversion! 💙 Tune into this live stream!

Here's @olbermann.bsky.social on the firing of @joyannreid.bsky.social (it's his B-block) www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIot...

If you're worried about democracy, history or freedom of speech under the Trump-Musk administration, relax... The coup has already happened. And, apparently, no one cares.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

there is raw energy out there — people are fired up and ready to do something — but no clear way to take mass action right now. it’s a void that i hope gets filled soon! for now, thankful for @mspackyetti.bsky.social + @workingfamilies.org + @shannonrwatts.bsky.social for sharing a few clear actions

As always, a stellar episode of #undistracted My takeaway:Community.Community.Community. After quitting Meta, I have to do the texting, calling, and being with ppl IRL. It's def harder than relying on socials, but so worth it All the best to you and your growing fam, @mspackyetti.bsky.social

Congratulations to our new CDF Board Member, Brittany Packnett Cunningham (@mspackyetti.bsky.social), on being named one of Black Enterprise's (@blackenterprise.bsky.social) "10 Black Leaders Who Take Your Civil Rights Seriously"! Grateful for your leadership in the fight for justice: bit.ly/4jAH7Rc

Direct action works! Here is some helpful information from @mspackyetti.bsky.social (from her threads and insta):

Last week on UNDISTRACTED, @mspackyetti.bsky.social sat down with @shannonrwatts.bsky.social, the founder of @momsdemand.bsky.social, to talk about what *actually* works when it comes to movement-building and what we can learn from the fight for gun reform.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

So grateful for the wisdom and knowledge of this group 💖

This episode hit me hard. In good ways. @mspackyetti.bsky.social’s exhortation about doing our work has been ringing in my ears all day.

If you don’t listen to anything else that I share, listen to this: open.spotify.com/episode/13Xn... @mspackyetti.bsky.social

Watch this episode - its powerful, its healing and helpful and it is TRUTH in caps!

This is how it’s done!

The latest episode of #UNDISTRACTED is live—almost as live as the group chat 😭😭 @drdavidjohns.bsky.social, Dr. Brittney Cooper and I on rest, resistance and rage. Link below 🙏🏾

This week's episode of #undistracted was 💯 as always. But the opening. The opening had me in tears and I need to remember these words. Thought you might need them to. Who's ready to get to work? @mspackyetti.bsky.social @themeteor.bsky.social

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

Great advice from @mspackyetti.bsky.social

Who knows how to spell things in the sky because I present to you the words of @mspackyetti.bsky.social that deserve to be up there for a long, long time. They want you to be so overwhelmed and/or distracted, you become ineffective. Resistance means we each find our own way to DO EFFECTIVE WORK.

I am shocked at the number of people talking about how Trump’s executive orders are illegal as if that is a deterrent. I don’t even know how to wrap my mind around this.

20. DAMN. FOURTEEN. Tomorrow I’ll be chill (maybe?) but today I’m mad as hell.

Ahhh the nazi salute on national television. Right on schedule I suppose.

Thoughts for @thecut.com on MLK Day, an unwatchable inauguration, and the Kings’ marching orders for us all. Read here: www.thecut.com/article/dont...

Because they came TO us with the bullsh*t 😭

lol let the record show how the TIK TOK BAN saga even started. How it really started: How it's going:

So glad to catch up with @coribush.bsky.social ahead of this MLK day (because that’s all that’s happening tomorrow in my house!) This episode of #UNDISTRACTED found us discussing the road ahead in congress, and how she wishes she had flipped even more tables 💪🏾 Listen now! Apple.co/UNDISTRACTED

Like…where is Dark Brandon when we need him?!? 😭

Biden had FOUR YEARS to try to move the needle on this. Making this ERA statement now, with a foot literally out the door, and shirting the focus to a humble government functionary, is not courage and is not progress. It’s cowardice, from a party that has gotten all too used to it.
