This is like a bank robber getting to fire the cops and disable the alarms just before he strolls into the bank lobby.

Anyone who thinks we need a fascist dictator bescause somewhere a boy wants to be a girl or an immigrant wants to mow their lawn has confused others business with their own, private conduct with public interest, exclusivity with prosperity, and probably their own ass with a hole in the ground.

President Trump campaigned on lowering costs. But he’s letting billionaire Elon Musk and Project 2025 Architect Russ Vought kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

If they succeed, CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to cheat you out of your savings.

Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"

How about “No taxation without representation?“ The Musk regime is claiming the right to take our money without heeding the laws made by our elected representatives.

One reason Donald Trump is going after USAID: Polls show Americans think foreign aid is about a quarter of the US budget.

It's actually ~1%.

Across the board there's a disconnect between actual gov't spending and perceptions of gov't spending.

The Corrupt Pressure Campaign to Get SDNY to Drop Its Case Against Mayor Eric Adams By Mimi Rocah

One of the Oldest Surviving Operas by a Black American Composer Will Be Performed for the First Time—138 Years After It Was Written Edmond Dédé's 1887 magnum opus "Morgiane"—billed as "the most important opera never heard"—will finally get its premiere after languishing in obscurity for more than a century

For a moment, silence fell over New Orleans’ St. Louis Cathedral as the audience felt history unfold. Edmond Dédé’s Morgiane—the first full-length opera by a Black American—was finally performed.

It is absolutely beautiful.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.

Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.

State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

Do you remember learning about Nazi Germany when you were a kid?
Did you, like me, wonder how the German Citizens (farmers, office workers, car salesmen, etc) allowed it to happen?
Did you imagine what your reaction would be if presented with Nazis in America?
How are you living up to your ideal?

HELL YES:

Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.

Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. “Let them choke on (their majority).”

His words were BLUNT:

“Y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Remember what the Bishop said

I’m not arguing with White folks about race anymore when I can just bring up eggs instead 😂

Can we hack that dynamic? Most of the feminist men in my life are soft spoken. Especially ones from conservative families. As their conservative fathers age, can progressive adult sons learn to perform the "loudest male in the room" role for the women (and young men) who won't follow other women?
