Cuts to the US Department of Education will have devastating effects across multiple states, red or blue. It's more evidence that American society barely likes its own children, much less respects and dignifies them. Nevermind other people's children. Too many don't even like their own.

Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

There's something that @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social regularly says which is that you don't need to live in someone else's imagination. I think that it's so important to hold on to this. Work to create the world YOU want to live in rather than to succumb to the one designed by your enemy.

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

It's beyond Obama. The bigger truth is about Black progress in America in the 20th/ 21st century-- Black advancement helps open the doors for so many other marginalized groups to rise. They want to kill the path of govt/educational/ career advancement for EVERYONE not white, straight, and male.

Correct. Black progress in America powers the progress of so many other groups. This is why they come for Black people first and with everything they've got.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."

The Nazis are burning down the parts of government that help people while telling their base that the problem is not the arsonists but the marginalized communities also struggling under the boot of the state. We keep asking "why are they doing this," and it's because you have neo Nazis in charge.
