Today in the bluest of the blue Massachusetts, a mother and baby ripped apart. We did this to enslaved through the buying and selling of human beings. We did this to indigenous people through boarding schools. And now we are doing it again. Do not say this isn’t who we are. It is.

There is no US trade deal. Everything that happened yesterday was performative pantomime. Nothing has been agreed for definite yet. There's a 5-page document scoping out the general shape of future negotiations. It says explicitly: "this document does not constitute a legally binding agreement"

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it. www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Democrat Adam Gray of California just sided with Republicans to push through a bill that guts critical environmental protections while selling our public lands to polluters. Disgraceful. Call him out. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I hope you'll read this Q&A I did with @naomiaklein.bsky.social. Klein offers a clear-eyed assessment of the end game of Trump's billionaire backers -- and what it may take to reclaim our future from these megalomaniacs.

One of the things I learned writing a book about global trade is that thing you got delivered next day started its journey months ago in China or SE Asia. A few months from now you will see an explosion of stories about empty shelves. It’s going to blow people’s minds.

PSA: if you don't know where your birth certificate is, order another copy. If crap laws like the SAVE Act pass, you will need your birth certificate to vote. Do it now while you are thinking about it and beat the crowd by doing it before every voter realizes they will need it around Oct '26.🗳️

Donald Trump spent $23M on golf (up to mid march). Over 56 days, he spent $410k of our tax dollars each day at his own clubs. That is one 3-year NSF grant per day. Waste and abuse, my ass. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There is nothing that's going to make him stop lying, gaslighting or breaking the law. Nothing ever has. Note well all the enablers. When he's gone they will look to rewrite history and continue their public service careers. Do not permit that to happen.

Israel is currently starving at least 2 million people. The UK government is demanding Israel allow food and aid to reach civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law. Meanwhile the Trump led US is intervening in favour of Israel to continue the mass starvation and cut of aid.

With prices going up, here are some common substitutions for eggs in your recipes. 1 egg roughly = - ¼ cup applesauce - 1 tbsp ground chia/flaxseed + 3 tbsp water - ¼ cup puréed, silken tofu - ¼ cup yogurt or buttermilk - 2 tbsp arrowroot powder + 3 tbsp water Bon appétit!

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
