I'm a very big marshmallow of a human who was born in a time when I had to adapt to mounting cruelties or be swept away by them. I mourn for the soft and fuzzy I could have been sometimes, but that's not how it went, so Bitch Face it is.

🗣📢📢📢📢 DON'T PAY YOUR TAXES. That is all.

He nails it.

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

it's my 33rd birthday today and all I can think about is how much humanity has lost itself... I don't know how anyone has survived entire lifetimes... is that an achievement or normalized suffering

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING NEWS Congressman Al Green has just brought Articles of Impeachment against Donald Trump for his suggestion for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Green said: "The movement to impeach the president has begun.” Should Trump be impeached?

I want to be dumb. Can I be dumb now, please? Can I not be constantly aware? What the fuck.

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

Yaasss!!

Ayanna Pressley: "Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby."

Trump's playbook consists of doing something a toddler would do, taking it back when meeting resistance, then saying "I won! Someone paid attention to me!"

Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

Blue Dot in South Carolina đź’™ I fully support the Hispanic Community! Protect yourselves and I'm ashamed of this country. You shouldn't have to prove anything!

Today in LA. I ❤️ my town.

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Trump and Musk are tanking the American economy -- so they can create chaos, and seize more control. THEY will be the only winners. WE will be the ones paying more, suffering more, and losing our money, our jobs, and our freedoms.

When there's no more immigrants they'll go after other religions. When there's no other religion they'll go after women. When there's no more women they'll go after each other. Their hate is within themselves. Men refuse to see it. They'll eat each other before this is all over.

But keep blaming immigrants and the most vulnerable. Anyone who is ok with this but acts like they care about our debt/deficits is gaslighting you. truthout.org/articles/tes...

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
