Let’s be honest here. The only real long term solution is to outlaw gerrymandering. And the only way to do that is to out gerrymander the republicans because they will only vote to outlaw it when it backfires.

Tony Montana would have been appointed as the ambassador to Cuba by this administration if he were an actual person.

So yesterday, the president's allies unveiled a 22-foot-tall golden statue of him that they prayed around, and then the president confused Iran and Iraq, seemed clueless about his FDA commissioner getting fired, and called a reporter a bitch? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Talking to my production manager at a festival. He had toured with her. She used to berate her crew on mic and call them out to the stage so she could humiliate them. Supposedly her monitor engineer walked out and then kept walking, left mid show.

A Frontier Airlines flight headed to Los Angeles struck and killed a person who was reportedly walking on a runway during takeoff Friday night at Denver International Airport. The person was at least partially consumed by one of the engines abc7.com/post/frontie...

William Shatner had me blocked for years. 😭

Where were you when you found out that Anita Baker is mean?

Khan. Chaka Khan.

The lost opportunity cost for not driving an EV is now $500 to $5,000 *per year* in fuel costs alone. Maintenance for EVs is also lower than fossil fuel vehicles, so the savings per year from switching to an EV are even greater. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋

“I don’t have to care about x, because the revolution is coming” and the like.

Some of y’all use revolution the same way some evangelicals use rapture.

My advise to VA dems: just try stuff. Exhaust every avenue until timing makes it impossible and then come back in 2028. Do not just accept it.

Remember when you told us we were being hysterical the night of the election in 2016? Remember when you told us SCOTUS was gonna be fine? That they wouldnt strip away abortion rights? Remember when we told you they were coming after marginalized communities?

Despite all of this, it still blows my mind that there are people who are still screaming about voting not mattering.

They hate themselves. Plain and simple.

Remember when he had more attempts on his life than any previous president, to the point where he had Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate and they succeeded in stopping more attacks in year one than Bush had received in his entire presidency?

I demand that he put his family in danger even more than they are already!

And yes, if you’ve ever heard white liberals or progressives talk about who they prefer in the primary without considering that Black voters determine the Democratic nominee, or whine about South Carolina or other Southern primaries, then you’ve heard complaints about Black political power

The backlash against Barack Obama by white people very specifically has revived Jim Crow. Now they’re ready to argue about what Obama should be doing in this moment when they spent years making excuses for their racist relatives and complaining about avenues of Black political power

It's just amazing how much everyone is willingly cooking their own brains.

higher education once again proving the theory—I forget who first wrote it down—that if your job can’t be illustrated by a pig in a Richard Scarry book doing it then it’s not a real job

Something white people really need to learn in this moment is to take a beat and interrogate their own discomfort.

One of the most fascinating things about this era of capitalism is being told that true American freedom means having options! because socialism is what happens when the free market is suppressed and it results in you only getting limited options And now? lol Arguing for choice is communism

And remember they are doing this while also decreasing loans for social work degrees. Decreasing treatment options along with the number of trained providers will only escalate this country’s mental health crisis. This is policy violence. All while they blame gun violence on mental health.

Tennessee Republicans essentially rug pulled the state to re-enforce Jim Crow, Democrats have to be just as brutal, this is about keeping the Republic

Yup that’s Gary! I’ll never forget how in one of his 2022 senate campaign ads, he had hit a blunt then set the confederate flag on fire 😂 www.npr.org/2022/02/10/1...

When the law professors stop being polite, and start getting real — real serious, that is, about pure legal hardball.

Good answer.

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.

I genuinely don’t know how else to take the position that if you need additional protection to survive - ie, masking - you should be forced out of society. People claiming to be leftists have literally said “stay home forever” to me. My disgust at my own side over this is fathoms deep.

I have said often that white people wield the benefit of the doubt like a bludgeon. It is one of their most potent, tempting and common weapons. It extends outsized reach to bad actors, gives them leverage & is simple & effective. It has killed us many times over. So I no longer extend it.

Step on a lego while barefoot everyday.

If you voted for Trump, a pox on your lineage. May you never know peace.

Gonna break out my Chinga La Migra shirt for mother's day dinner. Of course my mom has no idea what it means.

I wasn’t going to say anything but I was in an Uber earlier and bro had a stash of hot wings in his center console.

Im in a lyft right now and i cant prove it but i think that my driver might be blind 😭😭😭

There's a little old lady somewhere knittijg and waiting for woke 2.0.

This bums me out. Despite my many encounters with trolls, most people on bluesky can in fact read!

we don’t talk enough about how Chicago is the most gorgeous city in the country

I have made my stance on the nazi tattoo guy very clear and yet every day a white man who looks like the heads side of a coin jumps into my mentions, unprompted, even if I am not speaking on him, to tell me that he has it on good authority (himself) that the nazi tattoo guy will be just fine.

Our babies deserve/d better and the great hell of being a Black adult is knowing that you can't/couldn't protect them the way you wanted to

thinking about the time a venture capitalist unfollowed me on twitter and said "no one should think this much about clothes." then they followed me again and emailed me to ask if i wanted to create an app together. i said no, so they unfollowed me a second time.

I think one of the rages that the GOP really underestimates is boring middle class millennial rage. The folks who thought they could get a home and then got screwed out of it, BUT ALSO Those of us who squeaked to home ownership on the assumption that government promises made would hold.

I would like to make my position extremely clear: Woke 1? Wasn’t real. Never happened. Didn’t take place. Woke 2, however? Extremely real. Never been more real. Targeting your grandmother.

Future Noir the making of blade runner is a film course. Such an amazing book!

Oooh — I can’t wait to see how the 6th Circuit calvinballs this clear, unambiguous statutory language to let Republicans proceed.

My grandma was just given two weeks to live. Also, the fact that we are now almost as electorally racist as we were when my grandmother was a child is throwing me into an internal rage.
