and to make matters worse she will have to tone down her feelings and her upset because as a black woman she doesn’t get to be angry. they’ll say she’s “taking it too far” “it was never that serious” “they did nothing wrong” because someone that looks like us doesn’t get to do that. I have

thinking about this scene. amanda getting up to comfort ciara. the words that are coming out of ciara’s mouth when it comes to interracialing dating on national tv. #they will still try to minimize the extent of west and ciara’s relationship to coddle amanda. and we all know why

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we're thinking about Becky Pepper Jackson who, at 11 years old, was told by the West Virginia government that she couldn't play sports with her friends because of who she is. 📸 Will Martinez

I went from not knowing a single thing about Summer House and not sure that I cared to try to find out, to being absolutely livid, all in the space of five minutes. 🥴

they're calling it the most immediately disastrous war of all time

Y’know, “We Didn’t Start The Fire” came on today and a kid could do worse than to learn the contexts of every reference in that song as a starting point for US history from WWII thru the 80s.

Fucking shameful.

Israel bringing back the death penalty that it had previously abolished *specifically* for Palestinians is an absolutely hideous crime

just imagine.... one day, we'll no longer have to look at this prick on Sunday morning television.

Oh for goodness sake. This dude is a douche who has said and done offensive stuff. It’s not like he’s some great thinker who would be a real loss to political discourse.

Legendary folk singer and songwriter Joni Mitchell made a rare public appearance in Canada at the Juno Awards on Sunday night, where she received a lifetime achievement award.

Good night

The airports don't work and he started a war of choice that he botched and now people can't afford gas but, hey, Trump's racism still works. And that's the only thing his supporters need to work. My weekly newsletter is up in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

“I Will Overcome” is so Shirley Bassey.

My neighbors must hate me. I think I’ve played “Where Is My Husband” 10 times today.

Criticism does not equal “hate.” Also, if someone posts an opinion or belief that other folks find problematic, classist, or even weird, it’s not crazy to react and say something in response. That’s kind of how it goes with social media. Particularly, if you have a sizable platform. #bb27

My mom worked in the service industry for 35 years & always taught me to tip 20% at the minimum, more if it’s great service. Unfortunately their wages aren’t typically paid at a high premium therefore the means of their livelihood is due to the consumer.

The 40th season of Amazing Race had better have Vince and Morgan on it. Do whatever it takes to get them to commit.

Ngl… Nightowls was a fire alliance name. It really embodied us & applies to all of you that ruined your sleep schedules with us hahaha Nightowls forever!!! 🦉🦉

Unfortunately Ashley posts like someone who doesn’t have anyone who really cares to tell her she shouldn’t say that

Okay, I listened to Raye’s new album four times yesterday. I need to be less crazy today. So that means limiting myself to just three.

Idk why this is happening, but this is one of my favorite Madonna tunes & I still listen to it often 🥰

And re-cancel Nick Cannon

Indeed. It's so misogynist and so counter-productive. Also, those who are so dismissive of 'normies' have no idea who these people are, their life stories, the campaigns they've waged and won, or lost. They need to stop making assumptions and start making allies.

And here's a secret of the past decade: a lot of the crucial organizing/resistance work is done by women who look like nice mom-type ladies, often suburban variety, sometimes through nice organizations like churches. Sorry if anyone needs it to look like Che Guevara.

Imma go against the grain and say these protests are a good thing. We just need more of it.

Anyway, I rooted for Morgan to win. And I stand by that. 💁🏾‍♀️

Remember how folks tried to insist that Ashley being shallow and annoying was purely a strategy in the game and not just her being herself? Welp… #bb27

I like seeing my dislike of Ashley being justified and joined in on all these months later...

I like This Music May Contain Hope so much that I’m thinking of getting a physical copy. The last time I did that was for Cowboy Carter.

A great new music Friday ✨

Imagine not wanting to tip the people who are doing a service for you. What’s with Ashley?

Early Beatles is really underrated. Hard Day’s Night is a really excellent album. Yes their later stuff is musical genius but painting their early stuff as just pop fluff couldn’t be more wrong.

I have not been hearing about Mamdani at all lately. I would argue that is indicative of how competently he’s doing his current job

I don’t know what other music is coming out the rest of this year, but I’m calling it now. I think Raye should win AOTY at the next Grammys.

So many law review articles and he just tweeted it out

This! Last season was ridiculous. Longtime mutuals actually got mad at me because I wasn’t interested in having folks shout at me about how much they hated Vince. God forbid I had a different opinion.

Doing the right thing isn’t transactional. If you only vote to protect democracy because you want a cookie, you were never an ally. You were just “attempting” to hold the rest of us hostage.

The USA, Israel and Argentina voted against a UN resolution calling the slave trade a crime against humanity. Count on the racists to racist.

The U.S. voted against a UN resolution this week to formally recognize the trans-Atlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity.” The resolution, which was led by Ghana, urged UN member states to apologize for the slave trade and to contribute to a reparations fund.

Three countries stood alone as 123 nations voted to formally label the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” the U.S., Israel, and Argentina all voted no on the Ghana-led UN reparations resolution.

It’s almost as if this kind of rhetorical litmus testing is about creating an outgroup for abuse rather than forming any kind of coalition with people who broadly share your concerns about the world

I’m actually very distinguishable from a right-wing nutjob and if your method for identifying right-wing nutjobs lumps me in with them, it’s broken

Trump admits on camera he is the one blocking TSA funding

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

The responses to this post are pretty everything I hate about BlueSky. Dems have been the ones pushing for this. TSA and others being funded is a GOOD thing. This would be massive cave of Trump and the GOP. Please seek therapy. Good lord.

If people think we aren’t making progress I want folks to understand the absolute swiftness with which Dolores Huerta and the other survivors were believed and how action took place. 10-15 years ago, that would not have happened. We are moving forward.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
