I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

A vote is not a love letter for the perfect candidate. A vote is a chess move to win a world you want to live in.

I can't find her on here but Mary Mack from the band Kissing Practice has just pulled my brain into focus like a dolly zoom.

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter.

if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

Ten Vital Services Provided by NOAA (Beyond the National Weather Service) Far too much of the media coverage supporting NOAA only mentions one of many things they do: here are 10 more.

You guys are doing it again.

Yes, NOAA is important because of the National Weather Service, but that is not all they do and you should stop saying it is.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Why are ICE agents such cowardly wusses? | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, how the Trump-Leo divide was born in the ‘80s.

If there's a masculinity crisis in America, Ground Zero is the cowardly wusses who work for ICE and HSI, covering their faces with masks, fearful of an 80-year-old congresswoman, and reeking of panic

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

Happy Mothers Day from the Trump Administration. The goal isn’t for us to have more children, it’s to turn all of us into Tradwives.

You need to do more than release a statement. Get the mayor out then remove the masked cowards that assaulted him and our congressional reps. National Guard, Guv.

Also, these "we should've kept schools open during covid" pieces are a giant Fuck You to every teacher or school staff member out there, and people need to get off that bullshit.

Ice director wants to run deportations like ‘Amazon Prime for human beings’ Todd Lyons said he wanted US immigration agency to be ‘like a business’ in its deportation process

I think it's very important to note that when you want to run human misery like a business--a business based on rounding up people to ship them to a country they aren't from to work in forced labor camps--you're a slaver.

The current secretary of education said that we should teach reading, writing, and math in our schools, but not ideology.

Ironically, if it wasn't for the ideology that everyone deserves to learn reading, writing, and math, we wouldn't have the ability to teach that to everyone.

I started boycotting Target a month ago and plan to continue until they get their act together!

Wałęsa condemns Trump treatment of Zelensky, likening it to communist interrogation

Polish Nobel Peace Prize winner Lech Wałęsa and 38 other former political prisoners of Poland's communist regime have condemned Donald Trump's treatment of Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday, which they said reminded them of communist interrogation techniques

Hey Jersey, watch your cats!

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:

🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

So disappointed in you @theatlantic.com for publishing such boot-licking drivel and joining the spineless camp of media.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

we absolutely need the brilliance, tenacity, and innovations of women to face challenges such as climate change

The #NFL removing the words "No racism" from the end zones of today's #SuperBowlLIX venue, New Orleans, because the president's attending the game, is so 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
