here's today's post: "imbecile guts air safety, then demands to know why a plane crashed" — management-by-vendetta sure is working out swimmingly.

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”
Different fear. Same America.
Folks on TV say Trump blaming DEI is “inaccurate” & “inappropriate.” Huh? Is that all? What Trump is saying is ugly. It’s racist. He's blaming brown & black people for the crash. He's saying brown & black people aren't qualified. “Inaccurate” doesn't cut it. What Trump is saying is racist & bigoted.
Just to be clear, because the NYT doesn't spell this out in the article: This is clearly an effort to defund, and therefore destroy, our nation's public broadcasters. At a time when the information ecosystem is crumbling under the weight disinformation, this effort could not be more nefarious.
The Anglican Catholic Church has defrocked Father Calvin Robinson after the priest went viral for mimicking a recent gesture by Elon Musk that looked like a Nazi salute. It happened at the end of a speech Robinson made at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, DC.
The combined wealth of the world's billionaires grew by $2 trillion in 2024 — nearly three times faster than it did in 2023.
That's $5.7 billion PER DAY.

Remember everybody: They have friends and family and a reputation to uphold in OUR communities. Yet they get very little scrutiny from us. We focus too much on the national level. That must change👌 #washington #oregon #california
Good for her to protect herself from the Evil One and all of his cult!

If you have had enough, tell all your followers on BlueSky that it's time to #EndGunViolenceNow!
Our kids deserve to grow up safe and free from gun violence. It's time to put their lives ahead of guns. We can build a future where no parent has to bury their child due to senseless gun violence.
Trump has previously said he wants the death penalty for drug dealers, but then pardons Ross Ulbricht, the creator of a black market business that facilitated $183 million in illegal drug transactions. I guess the color of your skin really does matter.
California people: Notice how the GOP has started a massive propaganda campaign against California? You are being treated like a hostile foreign entity, not a part of “the union” This will happen to every blue state that doesn’t obey in advance and cave to fascism. I would be very loud about this.
Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.
What will you do to prevent the United States of America from descending to a fascist dystopian nightmare?
Will you speak out?
Will you call your Senators:
202-224-3121?
Will you share these graphics & the attached video across platforms?
I hope so. Don't be complicit, be a hero.
If not you, who?
