Black History Month is a vital reflection of our remarkable achievements and resilience in this country against cruel and immoral evil — never forget how powerful we are as a people; our journey will never be interrupted. ✊🏾

Let’s plant more hedges

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen. Nature is amazing - we need more of it, not less. Please repost if you agree 🌳

Kamala Harris wanted to build three million new homes to bring the cost of housing down.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

Everyone seems to be waiting on saviors, messiahs. This is not a strategy.

Incredible journalism.

This is 10 years old, so the numbers are out of date, but the principle stands.

I love to joke about OSHA (and NIOSH) but every single OSHA regulation was written with someone’s blood

After the official certification of Prop 1A’s passage on Feb. 21, the excess compensation tax goes into effect immediately and retroactively to the start of 2025. The city says it will take a year to roll out collections, with first revenues expected to go to SSHD in early 2026.

Amazon, McDonald’s, Target, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply and Walmart are all named in the advisory

Perhaps it's crap like this that explains why 1/3 of NY Times subscribers don't pay for their news. They just want games, puzzles, sports and recipes. Support pro-democracy independent media. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Malcolm X was 100% correct about Black women in America. There are valid reasons why we don't trust most of you. To folks that don't get it, Black women don't owe you our free labor right now. We tried to save this democracy, white America, you're the ones who failed. You need to fix it.

Reminder: Downplaying everything is the strategy.

lmao yes if there's one lesson from the last eight years it's that Trump has been subject to way too much accountability and he loves it

Breathe. 🙂

Relax. 🙂

A rare moment of honesty from Trump’s lawyer
