Please 🤣🤣🤣

"I'll sleep when I'm dead." yeah the fuck you will! sleep deprivation will kill your ass.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

In Honor of #EarthDay …. One of the funniest videos from the 2010s lmao youtu.be/12nWd_kH31A?...

With the recent news story about the White House considering ways to encourage women to have more babies, I thank Chloe Anygal for reminding me that I already covered this. None of this is about us. “The haranguing of women will continue until white women are brought to heel.”

This is also why I'm never ever ever trying to hear Black people complaining about stories of enslaved people that highlight just how absolutely evil white folks were and how they built this country on our literal backs. Bc US taking that own as our shame when it's THEIRS let's this bullshit breathe

“Homelessness persists not because we don’t know how to solve it but because the structures of power in this country benefit from maintaining the status quo.” A powerful piece that draws on THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US to dismantle the myth of the “jobless” homeless:

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Their incompetence has slowed them down a bit. But in *this* particular instance, I don't think it has anything to do with incompetence. They weren't ready for Harvard to call their bluff after Columbia spread their cheeks real easy & for FREE. Gave them a false win & thus false confidence.

If you have a public platform & spent years calming everyone down, telling us Trump was not a danger,was not racist, & arguing that the best way to deal w/Trump was to laugh at him, berated ppl who used the word fascist, insisted that the two parties are the same, admit YOU WERE WRONG.

Everything about this administration is best understood as if evil and incompetence are in a foot race www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

🚨 Still not getting the attention it deserves: Critical systems behind Medicare, Medicaid, and more—programs that serve over 150 million Americans—are at risk of collapse. Wired article explains how mass layoffs in HHS IT + cybersecurity leave our health infrastructure dangerously exposed. 🧵

The food supply in the United States is about to get very, very dangerous. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Driving anxiety is real—& you don’t have to ignore it to move through it. In Ep. 407, @heyfranhey.bsky.social opens up about learning to drive as an adult, & Dr. Jameeka Moore shares tools to manage anxiety. Tune in 🎧 #TBGInSession omny.fm/shows/therap...

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

The fear I carry daily is paralyzing. We're going about our day like this shit is normal. I'm scared

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

Absolutely terrifying. “Legal experts agree that sending American citizens to prison in El Salvador would be flagrantly illegal under both U.S. and international law — and that the idea itself is shockingly authoritarian, with few parallels in our nation’s history.”

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Almost immediately after dictator Bashar al-Assad fled, Syria came under attack. Israeli airstrikes have hit several hundred times since December. Syria's new leaders are starting to speak up.

This is what the so-called war on “woke” was always about it, convincing people that what happens to the marginalized can’t happen to them. It can, it will. First, challenge citizenship by birth. Then, unconstitutionally expel citizens from their own country. “Deport” is the incorrect word, btw.

Every word of this Jamelle. Now let’s ask why so many leaders in media, business and politics who should be sophisticated enough to see this, keep insisting that Trump is pursuing a “strategy”?

(A lot of you tagged me in this.) yes, it’s all content, all the way down. Also notice the badge. This is a sign that white citizens are officially deputized. To do whatever they see fit.

Folks in my home state of Ohio are about to find out that the absence of trade with China will cost them a lot more jobs than trade with China ever did. They will not acknowledge it.

Food access is a basic human right. Remember that when you look to leaders who: ❌defunded food banks, ❌eliminated support for farmers, ❌fought to end free meals at schools, ❌and are responsible for rising food costs that literally forces people to choose between other essentials and eating.

Friendly reminder your local library may have tools to help monitor your child’s online presence!!!! Please check out your local libraries to support! Especially communities with only one local location. 📚

Ohio is really pushing out very oppressive bills. Today, the OH GOP introduced a bill to remove DEI from medicaid. I need to move to a blue state.

Gen X; can confirm. Food today, even most so-called "struggle meals," are different (+ more nutritious!) than our 80s fare where I grew up. Highly rec the United States of Arugula to learn how things changed. I don't think most people will easily go back. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/89545/...

Just finished my 3 day meal prep. I'm so tired but I gotta wait for the food to reach room temp before I put it in the fridge.

Didn't feel like meal prepping tonight. However, I am committed to making eating eating healthier.

I must share my truth: I don't think men should be given access to podcasting equipment

Every word of this piece from @cmgreer.bsky.social is on point. READ and share it. We’re sick of it. Wake up! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...
