Not for nothing, all my Chicago group chats are asking how to help Charlotte.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7fC...

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

The Trump administration has approved more oil and gas drilling across Alaska’s Arctic national wildlife refuge (ANWR), prompting widespread criticism from environmental conservation organizations. 🤬🤬🤬 #Ecocide #Insanity www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

have always love this song. RIP, D'Angelo. <3

If you’re a Wells Fargo customer, maybe you shouldn’t be.

"There just isn’t enough time. There’s only what we manage to make of it—what we build, what we protect, what we remember to carry to the car. The gas mask. The snacks. The question we forgot to ask. The name of the person taken." My latest.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

"Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech."

I am from Missouri and do politics for my job, and am just now learning of this sit-in to protest attempted RW seat-stealing.

AOC: Millionaires are very overrepresented in congress… If we want a congress that reflects the actual country we seek to represent and fight for, we need to have working class people who work here

Since when has Ted Cruz claimed laTINo?

We are Through the Looking Glass now. Ladapo is barking mad, and I mean actually deranged. And please stop calling him a skeptic. He’s a full out anti-vaxxer and denialist. This only ends badly not just for Florida, but for the entire country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.

Even in florida, charges like this don’t stick. But the point is to terrify queers into silence, with the knowledge that whether the charges stick or not, they will jail us, and if they can, brutalize us whole they have us. Florida Government endorses the Pulse massacre.

Everyone in public health, healthcare and biomedical research has been screaming this for months. It’s time for RFK Jr to go. Everyone, please, please get on the phone to your members of Congress. Call them every day. This man is that dangerous.

There’s a thin line between staying as informed as you should and making yourself anxious in a way that is completely unproductive and every single day the news is trying very hard to push you over into the latter

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

Don't use abolish ICE if what you mean is Re-Form ICE.

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

“We are going to make sure that we fight this facility on whatever front is available to us,” said William “Popeye” James Osecola, the secretary of the Miccosukee tribal council.

Repost to help share my new course! Fall 2025 @huntercollege.bsky.social I wish I could have taken a lab class on Native American x African American science and history as an undergraduate. So now I’m teaching one as a prof and yes, we’re whale watching in Manhattan. And learning to DJ.

I love how much Andrea Gibson’s words are filling up my socials. 💜 www.instagram.com/reel/DMGUM6U...

With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

People aren't talking enough about this. And legacy media isn't reporting enough on this. apnews.com/article/cali...

This campaign has been debunked as a self-promotion by the flowerinSpanish account on IG. Our 50501 #VenturaCounty chapter confirmed with United Farm Workers union that they are not planning nor supporting any strike actions. Please avoid spreading info about the false "farmworkers strike".

Has anyone went back and listened to Badu’s Mama Gun? Because the production (including and maybe especially J Dilla) is…something. It also takes me back to a specific (queer Black) time in my in Oakland. And, a specific Oakland. 💜

Farmworkers shouldn’t be saddled with this responsibility on their own. We should ALL be planning a national strike to stand by their side. None of this madness ends until we shut it down.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Dayna is a messy one, eh?
