"I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it 'broken.'"
Infographic card with quote: “There must be a recognition on the part of everybody in this nation that America is still a racist country. Now however unpleasant that sounds, it is the truth. And we will never solve the problem of racism until there is a recognition of the fact that racism still stands at the center of so much of our nation and we must see racism for what it is.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “The Other America” speech at Grosse Pointe High School, March 14, 1968
Every day, but especially on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're reminded of the systemic racism that plagues every part of the U.S. criminal legal system – from arrest to sentencing and even reentry.
Here's what the data shows 🧵
I dreamed about making fabric flowers last night. Fun!
"Your justice has layers. Of course, my favorite musical is the hopeful reimagining of America’s birth, Hamilton. The good news is I work in the room where it happens. The bad news is the room is in hell, and Amy Coney Barrett keeps trying to touch my cowrie shells."
The Republicans are used to burning their own people as leverage.
They are not used to the Democrats saying, “let them burn.”

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.
Ahh, those smaller blooms on top of the longer petals do have the look of euphorbia! Thanks!
Can anyone identify the white and green flower? #bloomscrolling
I wrote about a certain kind of Gen Xer (white, middle class, believes themselves to be CEO-shaped) who’s disappointed that they invested in neoliberalism and it didn’t work out. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/o...
This is the best political ad I have seen in a very long time. And one of the most exciting campaigns!

We’re ready.
The percentage of white men in the US pop is ~30%. Thus, as always, the complaint is that white men are not sufficiently overrepresented (as they have been throughout US history).
There are alternatives to amazon! No-one NEEDS amazon. We all survived before it existed.
Everyone should read Trump's plan for a military coup: 1) ask local police to act "aggressively" 2) forgive and defend police lawbreaking 3) encourage police loyalty to Trump over elected leaders 4) threaten to arrest elected officials 5) deploy federal agents 6) weaken protection of civil rights.
I was speechless after. Master performance and the staging was incredible.
Yes. Here's another idea that's taking hold near me: street corner protests. We're going to host one on our corner on a fairly busy street every Friday for an hour now on out. Neighbors, with our protests signs, drinking a wine or a beer together, fighting for democracy and building community.

Where are you today?
Black faith leaders have called for a 40-day "fast" from Target for Lent in response to their compliance with Trump's resegregation agenda.
Those of us who aren't already boycotting Target, committing to this effort seems very doable!
I quit Amazon and Target in January. I know conscious consumerism and capitalism don’t really mix, but every time I find a new source for something I need feels like a tiny victory against evil.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Fuck off.
Greene: Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paycheck
