Ngl, seeing “you’re holding the nazi tatted racist white man to impossible standards” as a Black woman, aka the demographic ACTUALLY held to impossible standards, pisses me off deeply. The bar is so low for them and they still can’t clear it, but we’re “ideological purists” for pointing that out.

Misty Copeland took her final bow as an American Ballet Theatre principal dancer on Wednesday, a role she's had for the past 10 years.

To my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues looking for Republicans in the Capitol during the Trump Shutdown... they're here.

You just have to know where to look 😉😉

As my dad would always say: the mark of a true leader is someone who wants to catch people doing good. And reinforce that. Because too many people have been taught to avoid negative consequences instead of striving for positive outcomes.

The Black-Jewish alliance is incredibly important to me. It has been all my life. I would love to see it as solid as a rock. We can trust and depend on each other.

Unless we fight to rebuild the Black and Jewish alliance & fight against the antisemitism & racism in the DEM party. I worry what will happen going forward in the future. We must get all hands on deck to strategize to defeat the extreme Nazism and racism in both parties and take it back from them 1/

I'm gonna need white people to stop telling Hakeem Jeffries to do something when you all couldn't even confront your family and friends about not wanting to vote for MVP.

It's Black Women's Equal Pay Day, and it should not take until July for a Black woman to earn what a white, non-Hispanic man earned last year.
 
Black women, and all women, deserve equal pay for equal work.
 
I'll keep fighting until we don't need to recognize equal pay days.

Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

number is listed for malicious purposes. Please let me know if you know a reputable source with this number (that’s not just copy-pasted) because I am concerned that this is malicious and I’d like to be wrong.

What is the source for this? I know it’s spreading everywhere but I cannot find anything about USC providing this service to people tied to this phone number. USC Immigration clinic only provides services to students. USC Agents of Change is not it either. I suspect this is faked and that the 1/?

Support Homepage The Trevor Project is a non-profit suicide prevention organization that provides 24/7 crisis support services, research, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ young people.

The Trevor Project is triple matching donations right now. They work to prevent suicide in LGBTQ youth and are a miraculous organization that Trump just cutoff from the national suicide hotline.

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

I thought they were going to sing! “I am pretty! Oh so pretty!”

In case you're wondering...

it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans.

And nobody has been fired...

Don't stop talking about SignalGate

I get that! Thank you for the positive mindset :)

Unless I’m misinterpreting this, I’m nervous that this is his way of “normalizing” things. The 10% tariffs are still bad but the stock market is up now. He seems to have this pattern of making a horrible move, then not totally reversing it to make it more “tolerable.” Ugh. Hang in there :/

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

U.S. aid team fired while in Myanmar earthquake zone, ex-official says The Trump administration has moved to fire nearly all USAID staff in recent weeks, as Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency slashed funding across federal bureaucracy.

Three U.S. aid workers were laid off while in Myanmar helping the rescue and recovery from the country’s massive earthquake, a former senior staffer says.

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.
