This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!

Women and Black people removed. And only them for the top positions. Further down, other marginalized groups are being targeted in addition. Is the rest of the military going to just go along with this?

Women. BIPOC, disabled &/or LGBTQIA+ folks. Immigrants & children of immigrants. Low income ppl. Nonprofit & government workers. What's that- 85% of the US population? 90%? Pretty unhinged to attack this high % of your own population in this short a span of time. Do they think we won't notice??

#GoGreen2026 One of the key themes of this campaign is to build a solidarity economy, where economic racial and environmental justice are possible . A key policy is a public bank. Matt Stannard joins us to talk public banking and a cooperative economy.

Tom Homan can’t find enough illegal immigrants to deport because they fabricated the ‘crisis,’ so now he’s just gonna spend all his time attacking AOC.

For some reason, I have this song stuck in my head. Maybe you know it? The chorus goes: "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me... Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me..." Catchy, no?

How are writers (esp poets & fiction writers, but happy to hear from others) thinking about publishing right now? Especially writers whose work would qualify as "resistance writing"? Is the slow publishing timeline worth the bigger audience? I'm puzzling this out for myself. What's your perspective?

I've been thinking Trusk is making us look like selfish jerks to the world, but this will literally make us look like selfish jerks out in the world.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

I wrote this NASA page about wildfires and climate change, and I'm so excited it's finally live. It's a tireless effort to get big pages published at NASA - as it should be! How long will it remain up? Who knows. Check it out while you still can. 🧪 #climatesky science.nasa.gov/wildfires-an...

Honestly, I'm not against competent white men being in charge of some things. I just haven't met that many of them.

So does this mean Trump is running a black site at Guantanamo? If not, what is this? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

I really liked history in (1970's) high school, but almost every bit of black history I have learned in life has been since then. Not sure how it is now but consider the possibility you were cheated out of important knowledge by a white-centric curriculum

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

i’m not a math guy but it seems like they could’ve paid the rent for 100 apartments for close to a decade for the same price and with none of the atrocities, civil rights violations, etc.

Effective and creative data visualization in the form of a full page piece in the WaPo today to show how Trump/Musk are dismantling government.

During the Super Bowl halftime show, a protester stormed the field waving a Palestinian and Sudanese flag, demanding the world’s attention on genocide and oppression. He was later tackled by security.
