I read 1984 in 10th grade English literature… I cannot believe we are living in that dystopian world right now. Buy hard copies of these banned books. Introduce your children to them. Teach them young. Resistance and Resilience!!

We're living George Orwell's 1984: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

US Senator Chris Murphy: "We have days to stop the destruction of our democracy ... we will fight, we will fight with you to make sure that in this country it is the people that rule and not the billionaires... we are taking back this country from Elon Musk" #3E #USprotests #DOGE #UStreasury

I’m a single immigrant afro-latina mom to a little boy. I already left and unsafe country I’m not about to sit on my ass and watch this country burn down over some racist ass shit. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!!

Anyway I can wish the next 4 years away?! 🥹

The U.S. government is about to be PISSED that the RedNote (Xiaohongshu chinese tiktok) app is #1 in social networking right now on GooglePlay.

When Tiktok gets banned, we aren't going to Meta platforms. Collectively, we would all rather learn Mandarin than be force-fed American propaganda.

Don't let it get twisted: TikTok is being banned because it gave normal Americans access to more unbiased news than ever before.

If data was truly the issues - then every major tech company would have been banned ages ago.

The Government, and lobbyists, are scared when we know more.

Should TikTok be banned?

Personally I think Twitter is much worse.

Here are 10 systemic dangers in the USA far greater than #TikTok:
👇
Unregulated gun access
Lack of universal healthcare
Climate change
Food insecurity
Misinformation & disinformation
Systemic racism
Economic inequality
Underfunded education
Antibiotic resistance
Inadequate mental health resources.

Been in a reading slump since the election.
This is my current #TBR pile.
Y’all, I have a problem! 😣

Cover of the 2003 novel “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini.

I just finished this one. I’m a little embarrassed admitting I had never read it before. So good. It’s hard to describe the feeling it evoked in me. A combination of happiness and sadness and of despair and hope for humanity. All wrapped in one. #booksky 💙📚

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Good morning BlueSky. May your coffee be strong and your worries be weak.

That is one of mine qualms too. It is actually a general qualm I have as a whole: Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and other Black-centric countries and struggles get overshadowed or ignored everywhere
