Apparently Republicans in Congress don't read history books so I gave a quick lesson on why the Department of Education was created (and why destroying it would set us back decades)
Three things.
1. Literacy: About 54% of U.S. adults (16-74) read below a sixth-grade level.
2. Savings: 40% of Americans can’t cover a $1,000 emergency with cash or savings.
3. Trump and Elon are gutting the education system even further.
The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.
Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.
100%. I am an Analyst for local government. You can't just plug into a system and be like, "Yep, fraud." in 24 hours.
It takes extensive knowledge of the agency's inner workings, laws, and rules, as well as hours and hours of investigation.
Get the fuck out of here w/ this flash mob hacking.
South Africa is a massive challenge to the theories of Donald Trump and other white supremacists. Here we have a living example of what it looks like to transition from white supremacist minority rule to black majority democratic rule.
A post by laxsara: the meaning of life is summed up in the story elmer bendiner tells about how when he was a pilot the second world war, his plane was hit with a barrage of anti-aircraft fire from the nazi forces but the crew survived. and how everyone was saying it was a miracle until they investigated the shells that got in the fuselage and found there was no explosive charges in any of them. in one they found a note scribbled in czech, written by the person who had been forced to manufacture the shells, and it just said 'this is all we can do for you now. every time i see someone acting tough online about how harm reduction is pointless and in some convoluted way worse than doing nothing i think about that person in some soul-destroying nazi factory in occupied czechoslovakia removing all of the explosive charges from their anti-aircraft shells and writing a note that they must have known would probably never be read, just to say 'this is all we can do for you, and we're going to do it. they are trying to make us kill you and we refuse. i do think that maybe it's all going to be okay. 8,235 notes

Listen, I want #SesameStreet to be saved as much as anyone but honestly, if all the various celebs, politicians, musicians etc that appeared on the show came together, they could fund that show in perpetuity vs posting photos of them on the show with a GFM link. If y'all need help running it HMU.
Anyway, here’s the time I told a story about a woman I went on a date with who didn’t read books 🥴

Remember ladies, when the cops tell you there's nothing they can do until he actually hurts you, that only applies to women, not corporations.

Last month I was wishing I had some non-religious holiday traditions, so I came up with something I'm tentatively calling "Yule Game." Players chose their favorite Yule monster and roll a dice every day for their turn. The goal is to collect the most "children" (represented by clay gingerbreads)

Consider yourself to have been blessed to be alive in any kind of overlap with Nikki Giovanni, May Allah be pleased with her.
She has left her voice with us. This is one of my favorites.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “books and cinnamon rolls” when someone asks what your weekend plans are.
