Trump's firehose of executive orders is meant to inundate you and make you stop trying to keep up. I encourage you to keep up. Keep reading. Keep watching.

On this dark day it's crucial to follow #feminist journalists, activists, scholars, artists, and comics who help us understand our structural problems and offer solutions--roadmaps toward freedom, justice. @veronicaeye.bsky.social & I have you covered! We've worked with or vouch for all #writers 👇

I had already gotten a RedNote account, but this was definitely the nail in the coffin for my TikTok.

So the press will report on this with the same fervor they did with the Cass review right…? ….right? 😅
