Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

Seattle welcomes World Cup supporters with a great banner: F*ck ICE Free America.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Let’s make this Happen!

Nailed it here. 👇

as i’m off to go do other things, here’s some good news for the day. “In May, for the first time, solar supplied more of the nation’s electricity than coal”

Finally a journalist who had more balls than the entire press corps of the USA. It figures it would be a woman who we assume has no balls, which shows us that the so called "men" of the US press are capons, not roosters.

Getting people out of cars requires more than just exposed street racks. Cities can easily transform vacant commercial spaces into sheltered, staffed bike parking hubs. Safe parking is exactly what the curious but cautious need to finally start riding.

Smart people do smart things.

To the small group of supporters who gathered outside of CDC’s Chamblee campus: We see you and we love you for your support! You truly made our day this morning! ❤️❤️❤️

Trump "Survivor" works better....

Everything on this earth is borrowed. There is no "mine" or "yours." There is only "ours." Even time is borrowed. People kill over a piece of land that belongs only to Mother Earth. All you have is what you came with... and what you will leave with: your spirit. -Native American Proverb-

This year the lupins are giving me such joy, I can't capture the rich jewel colours properly but they are delightful 🌱😊

Happy Mother's Day to the mother of us all. (And who deserves to be treated better.)

The white nationalist agenda, got dressed up in legal language. Governors can carve out majority-white districts… but the second it’s about creating a majority Black or Hispanic district, it’s illegal? Let’s be honest about where this is headed, Black representation in the South gets wiped out.

#ResistanceUnited #ResistanceEarth Having recently learned how damaging lithium mining is to the planet, I was equally surprised to learn that data centers can be just as harmful, if not worse for the environment. 🧵

New York Times: If you're gonna crib our headline, you could at least credit Nick Judin and the Mississippi Free Press for first reporting it 2 days earlier. I'm glad this story is getting national attention. But Nick puts a lot of himself in these stories, and deserves credit (just as we'd do).

I saw a disclaimer in an ebook the other day that said, 'This book is 100% human generated. I'd rather write a story that might have lumpy bits than generate a soulless, passionless, piece of crap." I'm thinking of adding something like that to my next book if I ever get around to writing it.

So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out

Prince passed away 10 years ago today. RIP, your music lives on.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

On the anniversary of Tim Curry’s birth I would just like to say that there are few actors who are as good as him at putting exactly the right amount of unhinged overacting and camp into a role to make it memorable. The man is quite literally an acting genius and we are all better for knowing him.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

During crucial negotiations with Iran that will affect economies worldwide, our “President” and “Secretary of State” are at a cheesy fake wrestling match. We are no longer a country that should be taken seriously.
