All hierarchical organized religion serves fascism, demagoguery, and oligarchy no matter how well-intentioned. It conditions believers to think some people are inherently better than others, based on the word of self-appointed “representatives of God” who often represent oligarch interests.

This meme has gone viral. Kids, this change to the US Constitution (a very heavy lift) has been discussed for decades. Mayor Pete did not originate the proposal. Know your #history.

A must-read thread 🧵

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Why I left the Democratic Party after 53 years. Feckless ninnies.

The hardest thing you’re gonna have to do as a white person in this moment, something that takes so much muscle from y’all that you may need strength training, is listen to Black people & accept direction from them. You must loosen your iron grip on your dominance of us to save our world.

This is amazing. Brilliant way for people to comprehend the enormity of the files with these visuals. Glad the survivors were acknowledged with the bright light of the candles 🕯️

Hey! I'm not involved in this but I think it's neat - if you're in Petersburg/Richmond/this whole general area, the Petersburg Area Art League has a call for submissions from queer artists for a public art exhibition for later this year. www.paalart.org

The South has risen again with full frontal racism. Disgusting this is happening in 2026.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

The FBI has raided the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas. This comes weeks after she spearheaded a redistricting effort in Virginia, netting up to four new blue seats.

Can we just admit at this point that the Trump Administration just hates black women in public life? Can we?
