the most surprising and disappointing aspect of becoming a global health philanthropist is the existence of an opposition team

A tiny bit of levity (“Trump’s word and a couple of bucks might buy a cup of coffee. It certainly wouldn’t buy… a carton of eggs.”) in an otherwise sobering piece from @jamellebouie.net. There is no going back. youtu.be/aBVGmDaQRbE?...

Doublespeak ascendant: “They’re trying to take down the federal bureaucracy by saying it’s all D.E.I.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

From @jamellebouie.net on #YouTube: it’s not about merit, it’s about a return to segregation. youtu.be/aPExCDMJs-Q?...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trayvon Martin would have been 30 years old today had he not been hunted down and killed by George Zimmerman in 2012.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

A very thin silver lining on a huge, dark cloud 👇

Probably?

“Recategorizing these people as rural just because they think they are… Let’s just call it what it is: identify affirming care.” 🤭 @nerd4cities.bsky.social always worth a watch 👇 youtu.be/6q_BE5KPp18?...

So we’re officially past the tipping point. Good work, people! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/c...

Good (short) thread from @davidpepperoh.bsky.social on how to regroup. But… Check out the rest of the 2008 cover here: “How to Stop the Next Pandemic” “Will Bibi Netanyahu Go to War?” “How They Can Come Back” penned by Joe Scarborough. Unreal. But real.

This repost is an endorsement (of the idea, not of the NYT)

It’s not called “American exceptionalism” for nothing.

Snow. Flakes.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

Yes. This. Each time I post about the hypocrisy I'm getting these kinds of cynical responses, and really, stop it. I get that everyone copes in their own way, but don't pre-give in. Fight for your actual rights. Call out the hypocrisy. Not to convince them, but to remind everyone else.

This is *exactly* the strategy 👇
