Thread: I did not want to vote for James Talarico after Jasmine Crockett’s loss. I felt anger. I felt resentment. I felt a multitude of emotions as a Black woman, watching fighters, especially ones that look like me, lose their races despite being the most qualified. I can admit the hurt.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Oh.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on April 7, per AAA: • Regular: $4.14 (⬆️ $1.16 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.02 (⬆️ $1.16 since war began) • Diesel: $5.65 (⬆️ $1.89 since war began)

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.

Calling for the erasure of a civilization is dangerous and unhinged coming from any leader, let alone an American President. It is not a tactic. It is not a joke. America is not at war with the Iranian people. (1/2)

Today just feels eerily terrible. Like something bad is going to happen. Like not me but just in the world.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

This is an actual statement from the President of the United States. This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH! I don’t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

You can’t do any of this without impeaching them first Matthew.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Female military members about to surprise yall, because if they go through anything…

Holy shit these two photos from Artemis II that were shared just a bit ago.

If America was a decent place filled with decent people, Trump wouldn’t have even made it on the ballot in any state in 2016.

BREAKING: U.S. job growth for February revised sharply lower — from -92,000 to -133,000 jobs, marking the largest monthly job loss since December 2020.

The news cycle was so satisfying yesterday.

NEW: In 2021, Kristen Clarke became the first Black woman to serve as the Department of Justice’s civil rights chief. Five years later, she says the department has “fully retreated from the mission.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Then he literally led an insurrection ON TV, stole a bunch of government documents, and faked an assassination, then won again 🫠

lol fail to communicate needs and then get mad when you don't know said needs

Someone sent me this.

Naturally, the comment section of this post has attracted those who believe otherwise.

Today’s Artemis II launch marks a major step forward in space exploration. I have had the privilege of spending time with this crew and seeing their discipline and commitment up close. As they begin this mission, I am wishing them a safe journey and a safe return home.

Two brilliant civil rights lawyers - one Asian American; one Black American. Both women. @aclu.org’s Cecellia Wang & @legaldefensefund.bsky.social’s @janainelson.bsky.social. They argued two of the most consequential cases in SCOTUS this year. This embrace is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Very jealous of the astronauts that get to leave earth for the next 10 days.

I can't believe Katherine Johnson used to do these sorts of calculations and simulations BY HAND. I'm flabbergasted.

Great speech, dude.
