One woman's quest to reclaim the ugly history of Black maternal health

Shattered teeth. Punctured lungs. Broken bones. Over a dozen years, New York officials have documented the results of hundreds of prison guards' attacks. ⁠When the state tried to use this evidence to fire guards, it failed 90% of the time, we found.

Did Air Traffic Controllers just start the general strike?!?? 🤝 “…Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed that many air traffic control workers were calling out sick.” Read more: www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/... #GeneralStrike #ShutItDown #AirTrafficControllers #50501movement

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Once again I will remind my fellow Americans that we have a constitutional duty to throw off abusive governments and replace them with new ones. The time is now.

Project 2025 referenced shrinking farmers access to foreign markets, restricting growth opportunities for producers. (p. 307)

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

The gap between teacher pay and other college graduates’ pay is the highest it’s been in over four decades. Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the pay, dignity, and support they deserve?

The best part of this tweet from January is she limited who could reply to it

As we gear up for No Kings 2, we need your help! We are raising funds to support our local efforts. We realize not everyone can spare funds in these tight times, but if you can, please consider donating whatever amount you can. secure.actblue.com/donate/kc50501

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect a new Democratic House member in a special election today. That would-be lawmaker plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

We are proud of our Kansas and Missouri activists who went to D.C. to fight against the fascist regime! Great job, keep fighting, stay strong, do not comply in advance! Don't forget to donate to the local legal fund as well; it is critically important to protect those who are fighting for us.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

PSA: Thinking this is wrong doesn’t make you a “radical” — thinking it isn’t does.

Antifa seems to be a broad strokes term to try to label whoever the regime doesn’t like as a threat. From what I understand it’s not even a group. It’s a mindset. And a pretty short-listed mindset, at that.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

The clock is ticking.

Tom Homan reportedly took a $50K bribe from undercover FBI agents. He’s not alone—I suspect FCC Chair Brendan Carr is abusing his power, rewriting rules for big business and profiting from merger approvals. Trump’s administration is the most corrupt in our country’s history.

The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.

I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

FOLKS! share this big story with your friends and family off bluesky too! can’t assume they’ll see it otherwise

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

To underscore how soaked in bad faith this whole enterprise was, as Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday night, multiple ABC and Disney execs knew that Kimmel hadn’t said anything over the line, and had not actually said what those on the MAGA right had accused him of saying…

BOOOOOO-YAHHH! I've spilled so much time, blood and ink on the radicalization of radio, and you nailed it.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."
