Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

This is also another reminder: Jamal Khashoggi was a person. He wasn't an idea, or an unknowable freedom fighter who lived on the edges of society. He was a man, with people who knew & worked with & loved him, & those people have to watch our President welcome, fawn over, & defend his killer.

This is not my first rodeo with retaliatory false accusations. An "activist group" claimed I have a history of domestic abuse in the Dallas Express. I later found that Crowds on Demand had been hired by the publisher of the Dallas Express to create the group. www.texasobserver.org/dallas-hero-...

I’m deleting my post about this story while I confirm it’s a credible source. The author does legitimate reporting in the region but I can’t vouch for the outlet so I shouldn’t have shared. I apologize for jumping the gun before verifying.

For those of you wondering, we will in fact be helping her campaign up here in the valley. Rev Rae is awesome. While LA City council has more power than the mayor (a complete reverse from NYC), we need a mayor that’s serious about representing the city as a whole, not just for cops and the wealthy.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

Servants of the donor class are protected.

The answer is yes, but this version decided to go, “well actually…”

Repping the Rep: Adelita Grijalva invited Liz Stein and Jess Michaels, two Epstein survivors to her swearing in. Because of how Speaker Johnson handled it, it quickly became about them. And both Stein and Michaels explained their appreciation in an NBC interview with the three of them last week. 2/

There is nobody in any official position who will help Palestinians. They're all bought off or otherwise compromised. That's the bottom line.

This really is the core of the issue no matter what group you're talking about. Nothing good will ever come from people who watched a genocide and did nothing (or worse, participated in it). We all know this. Yes, you too.

This is what we’re at now after 20+ years of Fox News propagandizing “the war on Christmas” This is the war they truly want on Christmas. The one that helps them to break up families, allows women to be harmed, kidnaps children, all while they pretend they’re Christians who care about Santa?

Majorie Taylor Greene change for good is basically what the kids would call an INDUSTRY PLANT… just like Fetterman, Manchin, Sinema, Gabbard, (the failed) Platner, and so many many many more… Will this “flip” mean she’s looking for a pardon, what did she see that was so eye opening???

If any one of you is dumb enough to fall for her crocodile-tear-stained change of heart, you let me know and I’ll drive right over and unleash several decade’s worth of scorn right into your bland, credulous face.

Jaw dropped. Trump Administration Removes Report on Missing and Murdered Native Americans, Calling It DEI Content

Bluesky has finally, quietly posted a position for a one-year remote contract Policy Lead, Trust & Safety position. Trans people who qualify, apply here: jobs.gem.com/bluesky/am9i... We need someone competent in this role if this place is going to survive.

people aren’t embarrassed enough because how dare you say this about a woman who harassed child survivors of mass shootings and spouted conspiracies about Jewish space lasers, among other bigoted drivel

Microplastics have been on my mind for a long time, and it's the public health issue behind my upcoming book, To Love Like Venus. Here is a recent breakdown, where we are finding it in the human body and what it might be doing. youtu.be/v2w3zWzADgo?...

The UMBRELLA CORPORATION begins…

No discussion just your ruin and anyone who thinks like you!

Looked it up. Donohue, the author here, is the president of the Catholic League, & also an adjunct scholar with the Heritage Foundation. It has been his life’s mission to defend sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and he is using Kelly’s statements as a further justification in his argument.

Every year this happens. I will add do not come to the DV shelter with gifts and expect to see the victims and children open them. You didn't tell us so we can't check to make sure you are a safe person. Do not donate junk because it's the thought that counts. How little thought did you have?

I was thinking “why would Bill be going to the mat for this” and then it got to the part where he uses it to try to excuse the church’s sex abuse scandal and everything clicked

Marjorie Taylor Greene is not an ally and I don’t want to see the left/Dems trying to make her into such. She’s a Karen who’s getting her face eaten by the leopard she put into power. She’s getting exactly what she fought for. Fuck her now and forever.

Wait. Why would Marjorie Taylor Greene calling to release the Epstein files be a betrayal to Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party?

“With so many marginalized communities, we’re basically the oracles…we’re the ones who see shit before it happens.” In June 2020, I interviewed Alice Wong for TVU before she lost her ability to speak. I asked her how she’d first learned of SARS-CoV-2. She began with the 2016 election of Trump:

Only able bodied white people will be approved. Disabled people with no ability aids won’t even be able to apply. Black and Latino people will be flat out denied. God be with us as a nation. Hell is empty and all the demons are here

All psychos in a room!

I found this excellent report on the hidden costs of ceding control of community health systems to religiously-run institutions with maps showing communities where they are the only option. It also lays out how this can facilitate discrimination. communitycatalyst.org/wp-content/u...

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

It’s clear we need new leadership that will actually fight for us. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Chuck Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/dem-sen...

It’s crazy to me that Megyn Kelly is getting more backlash for defending pedophilia than Trump or ANY of the men in these files are getting for DEFENDING AND/OR BEING PEDOPHILES

The law never applied to white people the way it does everyone else. That is a historical, statistically backed truth that remains today. He is pardoning rapists, insider traders, & child predators solely for being loyalists. REPEATED PARDONS FOR ANY CRIME THEY COMMIT Trump is the naked truth

"Additionally, the National Grocers Association, a grocery and retail industry group that lobbied on food-tracking issues, donated $1,000 each to Kaine and Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), who also sided with Republicans." Imagine being this cheap.

This is real. Our govt is Tweeting like a 14 year old and calling Americans imbecilic morons. We worry about children being bullied but this is the example set by the U.S. GOVERNMENT. This is so shameful. I’m embarrassed for any of you that think this is okay or make excuses for it.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

Strange all the talented black people keep getting fired… but please tell me how there are no elevators for whiteness! I still remember Daniel Penny, the white man who murdered Jordan Neely, a Black man on a NY subway. After being acquitted he was hired as a hedge fund manager with no experience…

Gambling is a net evil, a scourge that not only targets young men but also stokes the fires of violence and racism.

If you want to learn more about Alice Wong and her work, you can find many links on her profile, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social, or check out disabilityvisibilityproject.com, or her Wikipedia page. Your library may also have her books, including audio/ebook editions (@multcolib.bsky.social does).

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us. I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making. May we live up to her example. (so you don't have to go to Instagram)

Imagine this being the thing you feel compelled to go on television to say.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump is lying about her interactions with him — and posted their text exchanges today about the Epstein files. A sitting member of Congress just posted her messages with the president of the United States.

Maybe because Megyn Kelly is best friends with Alan Dershowitz…

Yeah, well, they're not too smart so… 🤷🏾‍♀️

A #WhiteHouse correspondent asked Karoline Leavitt: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?" The silence was deafening
