This was mainly called for by Black clergy and they know how to organize so it will be interesting to see what comes of it.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

Amplifying. Because it’s Women’s History Month, and because I refuse to allow significant achievements to be memory holed.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country. In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

Again, folks seem not to grasp how much this is a total collapse of the Constitutional order. A random private citizen is running the "Cabinet" meeting of POTUS & the Principal Officers of the Executive Departments, & going around unplugging large portions of the government. And we're all just 🤷‍♂️

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates. It’s a lie. The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe. His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.

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

acknowledging the history and existence of black people in america is not dei; it is not diversity; it is describing what is in front of you.

I’m begging the media to call Nazi salutes … “Nazi salutes.” You can write “he gave a Nazi salute.” That’s the proper journalism. Describe things as they are even if people get mad.

The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights. Know your rights when educating your community.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

1st Cir., per curiam, holds that it does not violate parental rights for school to use a student's requested pronouns and requested name at school without informing the parents. Of note, the decision uses "they/them" throughout to refer to the student. www.ca1.uscourts.gov/sites/ca1/fi...

Crazy how quiet Media & Political Elite have been about our new concentration camps: How many people are in Concentration Camp Gitmo? What countries are they from? Are any American citizens? Are they getting lawyers? Are they being held in humane conditions?

I talk a big game about self care but imma level with you all: I haven't drunk more than a couple glasses of water and a mug of tea today even though I can feel my thirst and the water bottle is right there. This shit is hard. Drink up, ladies. Can't build a better future without hydrating.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Not enough attn to this. Main Justice ordered New York office (SDNY) to drop the charges agst Eric Adams on Monday. Most - me included - thought that meant it was done. Already happened. But as of right now no one has filed a motion to drop the charges. We're going on three days later.

You're doing great. This is hard. Take some deep breaths. Call a friend. Take a walk. Watch a silly video. Spend some time caring for something or someone. Make something. Do a puzzle. Do you have a warm beverage? ❤️
