Our country is a mess because too many people like you are comfortable trashing entire demographics of people.

You’re not going to stop the fascists by adopting their bigotry. You’re calling for unity, while tearing people down for their legitimate concerns. That won’t work

If you want to convince anyone you are progressive, stop crashing out against trans people.

Save your smoke for the fascists who are actually hurting you, rather than making up pretend enemies like the fascists do

On our way to birthday celebrations

Or you could try not blaming a couple of black people for white supremacy

Loved getting to see Dulcé Sloan live at @sohotheatre.bsky.social I had high expectations and she smashed them. Love her comedy so much!

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.

Maryland National Guard out of Frederick Douglass parade after DoD order Strict guidance from the national defense department crushed plans for a parade held in honor of Frederick Douglass’ 207th birthday because it was being held during Black History Month.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

I think Serena dancing the Crip walk was more subversive than it being about Drake. I was around for the hoopla when she first did it at Wimbledon. People freaked out. She even referenced Wimbledon in the behind the scenes footage. I think it was about being unapologetically Black.

Go Birbs!! 🦅
Waking up to such decisive wins by the Eagles, Kendrick, and Serena has been a delight that keeps giving

I was not prepared for this violence

Tulsa Massacre Was a ‘Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,’ Federal Report Says The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.

“The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, in which a prosperous Black neighborhood in Oklahoma was destroyed and up to 300 people were killed, was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens.”

Outrageous! This needs to blow up. They want to throw out 60,000 votes and steal the state Supreme Court election in NC!

Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa The parallels between South Africa then and the US today are striking

i think this is pretty much right. not a shock that the political economy of apartheid south africa produced a bunch of reactionaries who hope to replicate that political economy for the 21st century www.ft.com/content/cfbf...
