This is so wrong. History is meant to be recorded and accessible. That includes the history of Presidents who owned human beings.

A purple picture of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg, with the words: “VICTORY! Unemployment benefits for survivors of abuse is now law in Pennsylvania.”

Thanks to the tireless advocacy of our community, survivors of abuse in Pennsylvania can now collect unemployment benefits if they have to leave a job or relocate due to DV.

Same! I've been wanting to check it out since @schneidremarks.bsky.social told me about it.

This episode RULED. The pure joy in your voice when you realized Philly Elmo was drumming right outside your door was perfection.

I see your Olivia and raise you a Cate Blanchett.

I hope everyone involved never has a moment's peace again. This is abominably and unnecessarily cruel.

A list from Women Against Abuse for Brain Injury Awareness Month, featuring a plus-size woman holding her head with both hands, in pain. It reads: “Know the Warning Signs of Traumatic Brain Injury in people experiencing abuse: [point] Headache that gets worse, or won’t go away [point] Persistent vomiting/nausea [point] Trouble with memory, concentration or thinking [point] Slurred speech [point] Convulsions or seizures

March is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are often overlooked & misdiagnosed among survivors of intimate partner violence. Learn the warning signs and share the Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline to help people who are most at risk: 1-866-723-3014

Convinced that tickets for the final Wu-Tang show EVER going on sale this Friday of all Fridays is an attempt to undermine the resistance.

WHY DID THIS TOUR HAVE TO GO ON SALE ON BOYCOTT DAY?????

Oh my, what happened?

We need this order in Pennsylvania, too.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Interim U.S. attorney fires more than two dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors in D.C. The lawyer and pro-Trump podcaster has fired Jan. 6 prosecutors, launched investigations of the Capitol riot investigation and threatened a Democrat with an inquiry.

Just to be clear, this means Trump’s U.S. Attorney for D.C. has fired almost every domestic violence prosecutor in the office.

And because we’re not a state, D.C.’s attorney general can’t bring felony charges against domestic abusers. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Well done, everyone! Keep the pressure on.

So great, right??? I saw Conclave on Election night, and it made me feel so hopeful. It still does.

Reminds me of the Girl Scout troop that set up a cookie stand in front of a weed dispensary in Colorado (they sold out in minutes).
