I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

He was almost displaced by a young Black official to the point he was cry and hollering on television @democrats.org didn’t support He was a demon But he was an enabled demon getting to retire and choosing to do so only after making sure the demons he raised had power

He’s a racism test And he knows it and he knows white people won’t actively adress it and he’s right And he’s spun it out in ever widening circles Because no one will stop to care about those he targets

After I had to explain that becoming a federal food safety inspector requires education and on the job training, it became incredibly clear that people have no idea how much time federal employees spend preventing mass deaths

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

So... I want to try to articulate some thoughts that have been forming in my head the past few days. They're still coming together (which I know is risky #onhere) but I feel like I want to "talk" through them.... (1/)

A segment of the population exclusively compares Trump’s actions to wanting to be like Hitler/nazi Black folk compare trump actions to wanting to return to enslavement, segregation, Jim Crow Both could be accurate It’s just interesting for many reasons folk ignore our history

Some half-baked thoughts on this political moment. We keep wanting to say "We're in unprecedented times," but we're not. Jim Crow wasn't even that long ago. Rule of law is a recent invention in the US. These times are extremely precedented. Take real time to learn abt the Civil Rights movement.

Anyone else been hearing a lot about "We just need better messaging!" "We just need a left Joe Rogan!" lately? About that. There's one reason the right has more social media than the left, with bigger audiences. Right-wingers pay their creators. End of list.

i think the “NPC” insult is dehumanizing and illiberal and rich coming from a guy who thinks entirely in mindless dinner party cliches. in fact, all you need to know what he will think about anything is to know what parties he goes to.

Here’s the REAL elephant in the room: The Democrats haven’t won the white vote since 1964. White voters are STILL punishing them for LBJ signing the civil rights laws.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Hi, hello. In order to grasp the significance of Trump crowning himself a King, you have to understand that he is literally carrying out a plan crafted by Curtis Yarvin, a right wing extremist, to overthrow democracy and replace it with dictatorial rule by a monarch-CEO.

Pedocons. Every time. The Republican Platform is very simple: They want to sexually abuse children. And they want to make you pay for it.

Also because of the way the US is structured, only federal employee strikes would impact the federal government and they're currently suing to stop what's happening. A lot of the general strike discourse skirts the violence issue too. Cops have no problem using their unions as shields for murder

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is the kind of racism that permeates white America and plants the unconscious bias too many won’t admit they have. And let’s be clear…it happens regardless of party, class, geography, or education. 1/
