Imma piggyback on this, might have to thread it…

Y’all remember women choosing the bear over a strange man? So many men were offended when so many women chose the bear.

It’s reasoning that applies to white supremacy (and therefore, white people) as well as sexism (and therefore, men)…

Men did the same thing during the me too movement. “Not all men” was commonly said. But it’s the culture of men and white people that cause these problems. We have held the power and abused it for too long. Real strength is knowing it’s time to step aside and LISTEN.

Grateful to everyone who came by on Friday to our “Congress on Your Corner” at CU-Boulder.

Whether on main streets, at bus stations and farmers markets, or on college campuses — the best part of my job is speaking directly with folks in Colorado’s 2nd District!

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

Are you asking if there’s a study on how Swift obtained her wealth?

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Posting this for anyone- myself included- who gets questioned for doing “white people stuff.” No, it’s our stuff. How do you think our ancestors survived, not just in the colonial diaspora, but in our ancestral homelands?
Being in nature is returning to our native roots also. 🍄 🌱
