On the one hand, AI will destroy what we have left of nature. On the other hand, it will also destroy what we have left of culture.

Understandably, it's been slow going for this project this year. They need at least 75 more toys for parents at Cook County Jail to give to their kids: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We are going to focus @douglassday.bsky.social in Feb 2026 on the Colored Conventions and their visions for citizenship. We need to tell a much fuller story about the 14th amendment. The history is crystal clear. The Constitution is crystal clear.

Jesus

This is the Christmas miracle I needed.

Anyway pretty neat that Cabinet meetings and Oval Office events are just Klan rallies now

Lovely NOLA

A long time ago, my department's administrator one explained to me why I might not be a good dept chair: "you're the same person in every situation."

Latosha Brown: “ This Thanksgiving, I’m taking power back…I invite all Americans who are fed up to do the same.” I don’t know about you, but “I’m Not Buyin’ It!” www.usatoday.com/story/opinio... @blackvotersmatterfund.org

Support the boycott!

What if Dems ran on sacrificing James Carville's human rights?

there are 4 types of guys online. no exceptions.

Fuck.

Feels like it all hangs in the balance again. Ukrainians are doom posting. Russians are doom posting. Russia is burning and Ukraine's defences are slowly breaking up in some parts.

Alan Dershowitz is an evil piece of shit.

Wow.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

Normalize calling it the Epstein Shutdown

January 18th 1968. Eartha Kitt confronted President Lyndon B. Johnson and First Lady Bird Johnson about the Vietnam War at a White House luncheon. She went so hard about protecting the soldiers that First Lady ended up crying and they had the CIA start a file on her.

The Pentagon has failed seven audits in a row and the DoD has confirmed nearly $11 billion in fraud in just 7 years. But the concern is the poorest Americans abusing the average $342 monthly alotment. foxbaltimore.com/news/nation-...

My dad sent me this

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Been to 15. Lived in 7.

Frankie just wants to reach me at the front door. Ida is having a ball.

Half of the people who reacted to this sign laughed and complimented the maker. The other half looked venomous and reaffirmed that the speaker is horrible and repulsive person. No one hates him more than Louisianans. #NoKings, #Nola

Capitalism means even the spooky scary skeletons in New Orleans have jobs.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act. I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The community members record, let the target grab them and move away from ICE vehicle, throw or kick away agents' stuff but they almost never touch the agents and never apply any force to them.

I'm not acting weird you're acting weird.

I'd replace "We have allowed" with "We are in danger of failing to prevent." But yes.
