This is the way.

A perfect example of just how blatant the disparities run in our current tax system.

We need to speak up and insist on change. If anyone knows ways that we can do that, please speak up!

I never thought I’d see, during my own lifetime, so many parallels between present day US and 1930s Germany.

If anyone knows of ways that the rest of us can get involved and somehow support the release of those like Kseniia Petrova, please share your knowledge!

Turns out a notoriously sloppy drunk wasn’t the best choice for Secretary of Defense. So weird.

KEEP UP THE
GREAT WORK!

"You cannot be a Christian without practicing the Beatitudes. You cannot be a Christian without doing what Jesus teaches us in Matthew 25, which is to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and welcome the stranger.”

-Pope Francis

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

Didn’t make it to any protests on Saturday? You can still write your senators and get involved locally!

Dear Senators of KS & MO,

This is what dissent looks like.

Hope you enjoy the craft herpes—because just like us, it’s not going anywhere.

Do your damn job.

P.S. To the woman who brought the postcard-making station, thank you!

Also completely true.

ITS NOT. FUCKING. PIE.

Why is this such a radical idea?

The President of the United States of America, ladies and gentleman.

Aka if Hitler’d had an online social presence.

To everyone celebrating today, Michelle and I hope you have a blessed and happy Easter.

And there it is.

I don’t know what the future of academia will look like in America after all this.

But I also know we don’t have to wait for permission and institutional approval to share knowledge with each other and create community.

Just point me to the registration page, I’ll share it en masse.

@karenattiah.bsky.social Thank you for being a voice of knowledge (and therefore, hope) amongst the current onslaught of misinformation in which we seem to perpetually swirl these days.
💛

At the root of all community ever built on a good foundation is sharing. Sharing resources, sharing knowledge, even just sharing a fire to be warm.

Inspired by @karenattiah.bsky.social, my challenge to you: what can you & I share? What concrete step can we take this week to start sharing it?

46 Democrats voted WITH Republicans for the Laken Riley Act which allows the detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants simply charged with non violent offenses.

Where is the Democratic Party with their outrage over the kidnapping of innocent men sent to die in an El Salvador prison?
