@americanair.bsky.social I’m really pissed. I’m flying on your airline and I just found out that you guys cut your diversity equity and inclusion program. This will be my last flight on American. You guys are douche bags.

Strong statement by retired Rear Admiral Mike Smith, President of NSL4A: "National Security Leaders for America strongly condemns the removal of senior military officers without just cause. ... Removing experienced leaders with meritorious records weakens the force and emboldens America’s enemies."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Todays hero

Delta Airlines really needs to remove Fox News from its inflight streaming. A woman in the row in front of me watched it nonstop for three hours and EVERY segment I caught the headline for was lies, misinformation, and disinformation. It was a travesty.

If you’re ever in public while high on ketamine, this DEA pamphlet suggests you might want want to wear sunglasses, even indoors. www.dea.gov/sites/defaul...

How other countries view the USA.

It really is a matter of time before H5N1 or its variants to spread to humans And we are not prepared "Stop fear mongering" THEN MITIGATE "How?" Better monitoring, better communication and stop being ignorant. Masking in hospitals. Better hygiene protocols. Better science literacy. Clean the air

The current situation in one picture

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Her name was Jocelyn Rojo Carranza. She was 11 years old. She played the French horn, made TikTok videos, swam, did cartwheels, & watched Friday night movies with her family. I'm so sorry, baby girl. This is what happens when you normalize bullying and hatred. people.com/mom-says-dau...

The founder of Airbnb is now part of DOGE. NO more Airbnb for me. youtube.com/post/UgkxCS9...

According to ProPublica, dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since abortion bans were implemented, compared with maternal deaths in the state immediately before the pandemic.

Been working for them for decades.

"We Went To The Town Elon Musk Took Hostage" by More Perfect Union

TODAY: The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kash Patel’s nomination for FBI director. This MAGA extremist has salivated about prosecuting journalists, government officials, & ordinary Americans. Call your senators: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email instead: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

DOGE dorks fired nuclear safety experts by accident and botched rehiring them because they didn't have adequate contact information. Then they axed bird flu experts during an outbreak. Now Musk is hiding behind Sean Hannity instead of answering to Congress.

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

When you sell your soul to the devil.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

This is a great read. A strike is really what we need. There is one being organized currently but we need to reach that 3.5 percent which is 11 Million. No easy task. We also need union backing so we can have a strike fund. General Strikes open.substack.com/pub/robpalme...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

It's the people of this country who fight the good fight for freedom and democracy as well as providing compassion and empathy for those who can not fight for themselves. So today is the People's Day, celebrating Americans who embrace diversity, equity, inclusion, and freedom to be authentic.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Yet ANOTHER airplane crash on orange 🍊 💩's watch?!?

A Delta flight carrying ~80 passengers from Minnesota appears to have crash landed at Toronto Pearson Airport. No casualties reported as of this time. Numerous photos and videos have been released showing passengers safely exiting the plane, which flipped upside down. At least 8 people injured.

Happy Not My President’s Day.

Measles are surging, and RFK Jr. is firing the people who fight it.
