“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.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Did you know that (according to the 1431 trial record) Joan of Arc was not initially sentence to death as long as she did not relapse (return to wearing men's clothing)? It was only when she did that she was deemed a heretic and burned. Patron saint of "Death Before Detransition" 1/11

Feb, 2025, the philosophical battle lines/alliances: On one side: Ukraine, NATO, Europe, the free world, freedom & democracy. On the other side: Putin, Trump, Xi, & all the world’s other dictators. The United States is actually on the wrong side. Our WW II veterans weep.

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

The daily chaos we're seeing, planes dropping out of the sky and nuclear weapons officials being fired, measles outbreaks, is all on trump -- the guy who ran to be in fucking charge. There are unqualified people at every position he nominated, so things will get MUCH worse. We're only 28 days in.

I have been getting a surprising number of questions about CIA's low-confidence announcement that they believe SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab. A few comments in 🧵, but to summarize: 1️⃣ No new intelligence 2️⃣ No new report 3️⃣ No evidence exist to support SARS-CoV-2 came from lab 4️⃣ Usual nonsense More 👇

. AOC is the only elected official who walks into Congress like it’s a battlefield, armed with facts, common sense, and zero patience for BS. Fearless, sharp, and always ten steps ahead—exactly what politics needs. And that’s why they are terrified of her! #AOC #QueenEnergy #FightBack
