Why is Mahmoud Khalil always described in terms of his 8mos pregnant wife? Is it the risk of missing the birth? Truly asking bc it seems like there might be other compelling descriptions

Must say - I like a tech company that can sneak in a good Bee Movie reference. Well done

📢 1.99 is rolling out now (2/5)

People said it couldn’t be done, but we cracked the technology:

Videos can now be up to 3 minutes long!

Put another way, the Bee Movie now only takes 30 posts. (Please don’t test that.)

Can we point the Trump/Musk White House to health care reform? Here's some wasteful spending that needs to be corrected medicine.yale.edu/news-article...

Working with Morehouse Colleges signature gala was so inspiring - many of us don’t deserve the black excellence that we get to experience #swellfundraising #morehouse

Thinking of the families worried about loved ones on the AA flight into DCA. What a nightmare and so avoidable.

The silence from Dems is deafening.

We’re exhausted—looking for leadership and starting to feel desperate. Everything feels like it’s slipping away & electeds aren’t acknowledging it, let alone speaking on it.

@dougjones.bsky.social sounds like someone who’s actually read the room. More of this!

This may come as a silver lining to some but Alabama is about to feel the pain of voting against our interests. The impact of a federal funding freeze (esp Medicaid) is enormous in a poor state. But - at least we have the gulf of America.

Nothing eloquent to say but… how are we back to women being less than. “Let’s celebrate masculine energy and aggression?” diverse teams are certainly stronger because of our differences but FYI our culture celebrates masculine energy a lot - just take a look at any entrepreneurial incubator.

My God, the state of rightwing media today is a joke. This is a nonstory about David Muir using a clothespin to keep his jacket tight, assuredly so that his loose jacket wouldn't interfere with his lav mic in the intense winds.

There is something so pure about how Alabama children find sheer delight (Disney level stuff) when Mother Nature gifts us with an inch of snow. I wish we could send this to CA.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC
Jimmy Carter on the American oligarchy
He was a truth-teller. We should remember what he said — and act on it.

This article hits a point that I haven't been able to articulate or understand - neighbors supporting individuals but not supporting policies that directly impact those individuals. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...
The Alienation of Jaime Cachua (Gift Article)
His friends and family members in Rome, Ga., voted to support mass deportation. Now he’s scrambling to stay in the country.

Reminder: Eat and Shop at the local businesses that support your nonprofit and causes you care about -- odds are that you don't call Amazon or Chipotle for a sponsorship. #buylocal #sponsorships
