Exactly.

Why don’t they ask him who is “we”? These people are just pushing buttons, making memes and enriching themselves in the process. The true WE is the people who are losing their lives- its so disgusting how it means absolutely nothing at all to these soulless empty cretins.

Legacy media is failing democracy. Rather than complain, I did something about.

Six years ago I started Democracy Docket from scratch. Now it has more than 400,000 subscribers. But to help protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Subscribing now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I’m watching this on repeat. #OscarsonBlacksky

It’s hard to process it all.

All of this is just profoundly evil.

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

I sure hope so-because if not, there really is no bottom.

Not much, apparently.

Wait- is the Nobel Prize transferable? And the guy is going to war his way into a peace prize? This is all just so bizarre. I don’t even want my brain to be able to process this level of crazy tbh.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!

We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

These guys sure were prolific emailers.

Our calls & outrage are working! Sen Kaine, Rosen, Shaneen & Hassan said if they hear from more of their constituents, they could change their votes from a yes to a no. Rs may not be voting for this bill also, so call your R senators too. Keep the phone calls coming bc it’s working! 202-224-3121

Today in history, 1969: “Sesame Street” debuts. Developer Joan Ganz Cooney wanted to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational to help underprivileged 3- to 5-year-olds prepare for kindergarten. It became the most-watched children’s TV show. /1

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

The people did everything to tee up the good will, leverage, momentum on Nov 4. And they just…threw it away. Do these folks even actually want to win?

Man. This is all just a game to them and we’re all out here on our own. This is just so so frustrating.

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

Yaaaasssss! Protect the babies ❤️

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

BREAKING: PROP 50 HAS PASSED IN CALIFORNIA

Right. Nothing feels good about this at all.

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

For the record, Melissa's main targets of Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, and the Bahamas account for, respectively, 0.016%, 0.0089%, 0.064%, and 0.0038% of the global annual total of CO2 emissions.

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.
