When men speak their minds, they’re considered to be assertive.
When women speak their minds, they’re considered to be aggressive.
Speak your mind. Be a leader. F*ck the patriarchy.

When our military is compromised

Intelligence compromised.

Health compromised

Education compromised

The Justice system compromised

When we lose our moral standing and place of excellence in the 🌎

Truth & liberty are scarce
And freedom is a memory

Will they know they never owned the libs?

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

Daily reminder that immigrants β€” undocumented and documented β€” are not the enemy.

Billionaires and CEOs gutting our pensions, making our workplaces less safe, and trying to divide our movement are.

Knowing the economy teeters on the edge due to reckless power grabs is both a betrayal and a warning of what we stand to lose. Living in a nation once rooted in law and order, now paralyzed by fear and complicit silence, is a haunting reminder of how fragile democracy truly is.

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

The hesitation to oppose Gaetz reflects political tribalism, fear of Trump’s influence, and power over principle. Many fear alienating Trump’s base or facing backlash, prioritizing loyalty over addressing serious allegations. It’s less moral dilemma, more calculated survival in a toxic system.

Hey folks, I need a favorβ€”please share this post! I’m trying to track down as many of my mutuals from X as possible, and I can’t do it without your help. Following back as fast as I can!

Boys will be what they’re taught. While we teach compassion, others push harmful agendas that strip autonomy and normalize inequality. Let’s resist: my body, my choice, my rights, my future. Teach accountability, not oppression. #Resist #Equity #MyBodyMyChoice”

They’re letting women who are miscarrying die from sepsis and forcing rape survivors to carry their rapist’s babies to term.
They’re promising to repeal the Affordable Care Act with nothing to replace it.
If anyone is teaching a fear of pregnancy, it’s them.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

β€œDoing some research for an upcoming article on the last β€œmass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: β€œDoing some research for an upcoming article on the last β€œmass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the β€œundocumented.”

The β€œsacred pause” resonates with me as I struggle to step back when facing injustices. I’m learning to pause and find my footingβ€”not to ignore what’s wrong, but to channel my emotions into purposeful action. This space helps me respond with clarity, turning urgency into meaningful momentum.

Well, since 40k of you have followed, I might as well reintroduce myself. My name is Santiago Mayer. I’m 22 years old and the Executive Director at @voterstomorrow.bsky.social.

I’m working hard to get Gen Z out to vote for progressive values.

Can you repost and follow to help me reach others?

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
