Before Barack Obama, there was Jesse Jackson. He ran fascinating presidential campaigns in the 1980s, at one point being the frontrunner for the Democratic Party's nomination in 1988. Folks from Bernie Sanders to Orval Faubus endorsed him. And what a platform. 👀 RIP Reverend

Far too many interviews with artists about how they wrote their songs are just about how they wrote the lyrics. I want to know why you chose that rhythm, that chord, that timbre! At least talk to me about lyrical *structure*.

white Americans will teach fabricated black history but remove the other half of it because it quite literally makes them look evil with the amount of murder and displacement they have caused to black communities. they'll teach you a portion of MLK but not the BPP or Tulsa race massacre

In a rare education win, Oklahoma just replaced Christian Nationalist, conspiracy-laced social studies standards with… normal ones. (Hey, these days, "normal" feels like a victory.) www.friendlyatheist.com/p/oklahoma-f...

this post puts it well, i think

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government

Shoutout to my friend Vinny. I haven't seen him in person since November and I miss him

Do not get it twisted. The REAL change we are seeing right now, and which we need to sustain, is the revealing of how much we have the power to care & provide for each other in ways the state has continually abdicated its supposed responsibility to do in order to consolidate power.

The lead up to fascism creates great art — punk and hip hop, coded horror movies, prophetic novels and thrilling plays. Fascism itself, once in power, only produces patriotic kitsch.

i hate that when people mean "self prioritizing mental health" it stopped meaning "I need space to help myself heal" to "I'm going to remove everything including people who are very mentally vulnerable, from my proximity because they are an inconvenience to me personally."

Y'all ever see your wife get called every transphobic slur in the book all while insisting that your wife is the real transphobe for saying she wishes more black trans women got to transition safely? Saw that shit go down yesterday. Not fun

Yeah, it's basically a perfect movie. And yet it wouldn't surprise me if it won nothing

Sinners is a better movie then One Battle After Another, but I heavily doubt it’ll win Best Picture this year. L

what’s truly incredible is that this isn’t satire

burn it 🔥 (he/him) 🐇

They (my headmates) call me Triple D for being autistic, incontinent, and a lesbian Figure that one out

His entire career he's been open about wanting to invide countries for their oil. I genuinely don't think the epstien files were even on his mind when this happened

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

Braiding the first bit of your hair helps keep it behind your head. Learned this after years of ponytails only doing so much to keep my hair where I want it

Sadly I do believe that broader trans spaces have completely failed trans women of color in every way. Both tmes and tmas.

Let 2025 forever be known as the year I got a girlfriend and then the romantic relationships of nearly everyone I knew fell apart because the universe didn't know how to handle it Oh and all the other more important stuff too but that was funny to watch happen

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains

My wife works as a server and so many people said "Don't be a Scrooge" as they proceeded to not tip. Like, how is the woman working for less than minimum wage and has to work on Christmas the Scrooge in this scenario?

the reason i don't use AI in my music is because i cannot fathom a scenario where i wouldn't just sample existing music. like it'll sound better.

@codyjohnston.bsky.social Be on high alert! They're staging an attack

like it's insane seeing people openly defend a furry who called a black woman a "monkey" jokingly and I'm just annoyed that black ppl cannot have hobbies because of racists like this.

AI slophouses openly admitted to stealing work from my dead friend. They are not there to "help creative people". They're fucking grave robbers.

I'm not like... Angry, but I am very VERY confused.

Coming soon to Pixar: 1984! Winston Smith just caaaaaan't catch a break in this whacky animated film for the whole family!

transphobe who isn't over her ex: saw my biological partner yesterday

In light of the recent allegations resurfaced and levied against one of our own in the community, deadass shame on y'all for giving those accusations any room to breathe or discuss. We do not use KF, KF is a weapon of the enemy.

i love being a small fawn when things get scary, I hope to let others know regression isn't something scary or to be moral panicked Abt. it's nice and comforting.

here's a deer fursona that looks pretty much exactly like me(gonna cry happy tears over this)

I hope Democrats unveil their new “TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE” policy tomorrow. America is ready.

It turns out listening to people, running on popular things people want, and not being an evil ghoul can have you defeat both parties throwing all they can at one candidate to defeat you.
