Y'all, I just imagined what it would be like to have an album (or three) a la Ella and Louie, but with Mavis Staples and Malford Milligan and now I don't want to keep living in a world where that doesn't exist. Who do I have to convince to make this happen?

Democracy means a society and system in which everyone’s rights matter. Rapists count on this being untrue – and Trump is proving them right

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

This bill, y'all. Everything I learn about it is worse than the last
It's not just $930 billion being cut from Medicaid that will harm people
A 🧵
There's another healthcare nightmare in Trump's murderous budget bill -
The House GOP budget reconciliation bill does not extend the "enhanced" premium tax credits that were put in place by the American Rescue Plan

Pretty disgusted that @texasstandard.bsky.social reported on Trump phones without mentioning the Hatch Act, and compared the wireless brands of other celebrities who don't hold elected office. Y'all buried the "major conflict" lede. I'm hotter than boiled peanuts from Jimmy Carter's farm.

Every protest I’ve attended in SC has been peaceful. Cops were kind and removed disrupters. This rhetoric out of DC is meant to instill fear and keep people away. Show up. Know your rights. Save democracy.

Ghoulish inhumanity toward our most vulnerable. For shame. This country is too wealthy to allow so many people to go unhoused. We know housing-first initiatives work, and income supplements make life better for everyone. It's been proven many times over. And yet this is what we're doing. 🤬🤬🤬
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

It's hard to say "what a tremendous loss," when we are losing so much, but this most certainly is a big one
A Harvard researcher, Dr. Sarah Fortune, was potentially TWO YEARS away from CURING Tuberculosis, a disease that kills over a million people a year. The Trump administration pulled the funding for the research.
Dr. Fortune is now trying to shut down 21 labs. Now all the data and knowledge is gone!
