This is fucking bleak

Rely on these schools if you want to. Over half of US adults read around a middle school grade level or below. If you want to make sure your child does better, you have to be hands-on. Excuses ("the school didn't teach...", etc) won't help them when they enter adulthood.

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

I just wanted to wish all my folks a Happy Trans Day of Visibility. You are beautiful, you are talented, and you deserve so much more from our society and our world. You are stronger than you know.

Millions of people marched on Saturday against Trump and his administration. While the single-day protest has ended, there are other ways, used in other movements throughout history, to keep the momentum going

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

Omg omg omg. I love these! They came out prettier than I ever imagined! Thank you @maritalks2much.bsky.social !!

I like her. We have created hell here

A tambourine! This is my kinda carrying on 🤣🤣

Ummmm, did y'all know that Stephen A Smith is on General Hospital???!! And has been on it for a decade??! youtu.be/cMk17nhp5Yo?...

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Winner 🏆 @pbs.org

On this year’s long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

"I got my PhD by writing prompts instead of doing research, I'm winning" got some bad news, there still no jobs and now you also know nothing

It’s actually FEWER Misérables

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.” Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

According to the latest #jobsday report, Black women's unemployment is UP nearly 2 PERCENT since last year. Read that again.

How do we wrap up the 100th Black History Month? For me Black History is every day, but February is the BLACKEST history month. So I guess I wanna talk Black self-determination throughout our sojourn here. Believe or not, it starts in 1526. Sure, 1619 is the year we acknowledge but... 🧵

i threw a quick 500 delroy's way

What’s happening in Kansas is definitely a test run. If you can take away identification from trans people what’s to stop you from taking it away from other marginalized groups?

Does everyone else get those Tai Chi AI ads on YouTube or is it just me? Why does YouTube think I'm an old Chinese man?

Fucking YIKES

I just got a call from Brittany Pettersen's office (presumably to ask me if I'm going to caucus and if I will caucus for her) and they started with "you're a strong Democrat and we want to know how you feel" and I just unloaded.

Yup

Y'all are fucking evil and I can't believe I have to share this earth with you

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Ruben Ray Martinez was shot through his driver's-side window in South Padre Island, Texas.

Oh, so Euphoria is cursed cursed 😵‍💫

I said this in a reply, but it needs to not be lost -- this bill does NOT remove the marriage penalty. This bill has no impact on SSI monthly benefits, and the marriage penalty refers to the loss of monthly benefits when SSI recipients marry. That is still going to happen if this bill passes.

What if Lemon Party and Grindr did a cross-promotion.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

With a number of Olympic athletes donning respirators, this is your reminder that COVID is not over. It’s airborne, and a well fitted mask is a great way to protect yourself and those around you. If you can’t afford one, check out your local mask bloc. If you can afford it, consider donating!
