There’s only white people in the AI 80s. Why am I not surprised?
All this while a
would-be dictator king threatens to un-citizenize those who disagree w/ him,
stuffs all 3 branches of government with cronies, trashes funding for everything good & legislates to benefit the most privileged class.
What did I miss? Oh wait, that’s just
the domestic shit!!

July 4th… What the fuck
are we supposed to be celebrating?

built on the labor of enslaved Africans.

No contest—Can I Kick It
Having a child in college now is a layer of anxiety I did not anticipate. I texted as soon as I saw the news, he has a buddy at FSU who had been texting their friend group in real time. The friend was did not witness anything, thank goodness.
It’s white men we need to have eyes on, as always.
I started watching The Handmaid’s Tale and just got to the episode where they ask to change the law against girls learning how to read. I am only reading what they don’t want us to.
My mantra on tax day
Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
Thank you, Senator Warren. Hold the line. Stronger together. Elbows up. Don’t give in to fascists. All that and then some.
A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing:
A dictator.
Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.
They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Last night, House Republicans passed a budget plan that will make people across the country sicker, hungrier, poorer, & less safe. I voted NO.
Here are four ways this disastrous bill will impact families in the #MA7:
This needs to be amplified.
Luke Farritor is not “letting them die”, he is actively breaking the law and withholding life saving meds from the most vulnerable.
He is actively killing people on Musk’s orders. This is a death squad.
We won’t forget his face or his crimes.

In a strongly-worded letter to Catholic bishops in the United States, Pope Francis is taking to task the Trump Administration's stance on migrants, and that he's following what he calls a "major crisis" with the initiation of mass deportation.
Thank you Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov !!!
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and hundreds of protesters and Democratic lawmakers gathered outside the U.S. Treasury on Tuesday evening to protest what they say is Elon Musk's "hostile takeover" of federal payment systems:
Um, hi. Congressional Democrats, exactly WHAT IN THE FUCK (!!!!) ARE YOU DOING?! Can we PLEASE wake up and get this foreign actor the God fearing fuck out of our government?! What exactly are you waiting for? Here is your actual formal invite to this fight. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I’m binge watching The Good Place and thinking that we are definitely living in The Bad Place
This is an erasure of our existence
I just pulled out this old project from 20ish years ago. Needlework helps regulate my nervous system, and I ordered knitting supplies for when I finish this one.
Sound analysis and advice. I felt a bit more grounded after reading this.
