Seahawks all the way and I couldn't care less about football. 😉 Bring on Bad Bunny and Greenday.

Today we honor Vivien Thomas, an African American who worked as a lab assistant because he couldn't afford medical school. He helped develop a life-saving surgical procedure for babies with a congenital heart defects. In 1976 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

HOPE

I will never forget election day Nov 4, 2008, when Barack Obama won a decisive victory as the first Black POTUS. The race was over at 8 pm PDT when WA, OR, CA polls closed. I was with my wife and two young children at a community center in the Western Addition of....

Amen!

Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it? Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge? How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account? Who are those people? Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else? How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump? Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct? If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously? What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post? Has the staffer been disciplined in any way? Will the staffer continue to have access to his account? What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account? Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it? How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post? The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability? What does it say about the President's honesty? What does it say about the President's credibility? Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible? What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it? Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

WOW! WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP DOESN’T WRITE HIS OWN TWEETS???

AUTOPEN!

Hand picked by No-M no doubt 😠

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

If these “manosphere” podcasters are upset, they have themselves to thank. They sucked Trump’s dick all of 2024.

Now they act surprised the guy Epstein called his best friend won’t release the full files, or that he’s actually doing mass deportations.

What did these morons think would happen?

Then I have to remember wtf i was doing in said game

The investigation is still ongoing.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

Marked Safe From Forgetting About The Epstein Files Today

Release the Epstein Files. Believe the survivors. Trump is a pedo.

I think they're missing the point that the criminals are sitting in a white house, in another city.

You can't be neutral to fascism.

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Wait until the 2d Amendment nuts find out that simply possessing a gun is now punishable by death.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Why do they assume it's liberals?

4 tech moguls who attended or donated to Trump's inauguration got $288 billion richer, cumulatively, in his first year back Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jensen Huang attended or donated to President DonaldTrump's inauguration. All of them got richer last year.

Except this is NOT a game. This is real life and those are real people being hurt. 🧊 needs to be defunded and disbanded.

“Jack Smith's public testimony will be aired this Thursday on 8 different news channels. It will be complete all day coverage.
Hmmm… What will Trump do to interfere with the broadcast?”

Regular people in Minnesota standing up to ICE and protecting their neighbors. Denmark and Belgium taking the strongest stances of European countries against Trump’s Greenland threats. Amazing how those with less power take action and sacrifice, while so many of the powerful equivocate and cower.

Gov. Newsom at Davos rips into world leaders who think they can appease Trump: “I should have brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders.…this is pathetic”
