you gotta admit venezuela winning that game is kind of poetic

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

something I think about with Jesse Jackson’s passing… I can’t imagine how it feels to have made your life’s work fighting for a better country, see some positive results, and then watch it all unraveled in FAR less time, in the same lifetime.

I can't believe that just in my lifetime we went from the conscious Black Pride hip hop of the 90's to the "Harriet Tubman wasn't real" Tik Toks of today.

This thread is 🍿 but also 😱

Sigh 😩

Remember when some of us said the Democratic leadership would take all the wrong lessons from the blue tsunami and squander all the goodwill? Here you go.

What are they even doing?!? To cave now? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Do we care about healthcare premiums or not? I hate it here.

Still laughing that Thong Song and No Crumbs made it on yesterday's @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social answers. Trying to find the joy in the chaos.

Your team's not 1-0? Can't relate. 🤣 Dubs! #Warriors

yes i post about politics and taylor swift and sports and muppets. get you a girl who’s a human junk drawer.

Remember when people were criticizing comedians for things they said actually said and even though nothing actually happened to them, Joe Rogan and Dave Chapelle and all the “edgy” comedians said the “cancel culture” was coming from the left? Good times.

Great fight tonight. Crawford was def the better boxer tonight.

Go Valkyries!!!

Chris Evert can't ever say anything nice about Venus or Serena. Before she said she got flack for saying Venus played like a man, but now she just said she didn't think she would do well. Can she please keep her comments to herself?!? It's exhausting. #USOpen

Exactly this. 😫

“Groceries.”

Loon's forever got love for #DubNation 📝 bit.ly/4eGqCB6

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

🥰

Maaaaan Doval. There goes this game.

Forgot my lunch, but walked by Popeyes to get that Tuesday $3.99 dark chicken special. 😋 My joy for today

NBA is so soft, that's not a flagrant. But it's Scott Foster so I'm not surprised. #NBAFinals

headline construction masterclass

As the Trump Administration is kidnapping and deporting brown immigrants without due process, and welcoming white South African "refugees" with fanfare, they're asking the Supreme Court to ignore the 14th Amendment and end birthright citizenship. You can call it racist and white supremacist now.

We need to finish this tonight!

GAME DAY

Only 11 players in NBA history have reached 4,000 career playoff points. As of tonight, Stephen is now one of them ⭐️

That was some straight up horrible officiating. Edey should've been out of the game a few times. Steph said I got this anyway. #Warriors all day.

Jimmy said that's a bad muthasucka, except he didn't say sucka. #StephGonnaSteph #ChefCurry

For the record, black people dancing & generally being joyful doesn’t mean we aren’t aware of the turmoil around us. It just means we are not going to use our voices & bodies to save you & yours from the consequences of your worst impulses & choices. But,we will take joy in life.

Loved this win. But also, phew 😅

@stillnaima.bsky.social I know you watched #MaskedSinger tonight, right? 😍

Happy Pi Day (& Stephen's bday!)

😎

Phew boy, the wind was winding here today. 🌬️ So glad nothing knocked over outside cuz I sure wasn't going to pick up 😂

“Insanity is not a strategy”

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Damn. 😢

Tonight is a red wine 🍷 and chocolate 🍫 night. The only fruit that pairs well with chocolate IMHO.

He's not "likening" himself to royalty, he's *calling* himself the fcking king. those are not the same thing, and I need them to start calling it what it is

As bad as things are, and trust, I know it's going to get worse, I have to protect my peace. Had to unfollow some accounts for a bit. Can only take so much bad news per day. Please try to spread joy in between the madness. 💜

In times like these, my go to is streamed rice with butter and soy sauce. #comfortfood
