honored to be included in the Chicago Sun-Times summer reads list. but now i have to go and write Certified Bangers: A Memoir

A reminder that there's a Black-woman owned site you can use to track the books you've read and want to read, in case you want to leave that *other* site. #BookSky #AmReading #BlackBookSky #StoryGraph

"I think it should be controversial to NOT say anything" about Gaza I spoke to YouTube star and children's educator Ms. Rachel about her outspoken support for Palestinian kids in Gaza - and the bad-faith attacks on her in response. Full interview here: zeteo.com/p/exclusive-...

Tomorrow there will be more of us.

I think about this comic at least once a week

Capitalism isn’t the Trolley Problem. Capitalism is the trolley drivers trying to invent a second trolley so that they can go down both tracks and demolish everyone for maximum profits

Carl Sagan on sensible military spending and climate change.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

“Emotional support bigot” 🤣NAILED IT!

Happy Liberation Day.

Catastrophic tornado confirmed in Craighead County, Arkansas, moving at 40 mph northeast. Inch-sized hail.

In a world of Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman, be a Cory Booker.

Girl same.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, I would appreciate it if the Canadian Liberal Party and Conservative party would switch colors so I don't panic every time I see a Canadian political poll.

This is the message federal employees receive after trying to send in their mandatory “5 bullets” email about what they did this week:

Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man in government who doesn’t really care who’s in his bomb Yemen group chat

Just RSVPed to the Bernie/AOC "Fighting Oligarchy" talk in Denver on 3/21. Hey @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social, why are these the only sharing options?

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

@schumer.senate.gov , what were you saying about "Elon and Trump want a shutdown"? If Trump is calling you courageous, then you are a coward.

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

@hickenlooper.bsky.social @bennet.senate.gov Sounds about right. I already left my voicemails with your office. It's time for new leadership and a new direction for the party. This isn't a game and you need to stop playing by rules the GOP tricks you into following while they steal from us all.

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov If Schumer votes for cloture and you do not immediately call for his resignation for betraying the ideals of the Democratic Party, I will not ever vote for either of you again, and will use every avenue in my power to make sure you are not re-elected.

CNBC is calling it the Tesla Chain Saw Massacre. 🤣

For decades, Republican administrations have taken credit for the strong economies created by their Democratic predecessors. I wonder whether that ruse has now been broken.

Very good deal

A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’. Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad
