Thinking about this today 🫶🏾
An audiotape of Jeffrey Epstein stating that he was Donald Trump’s best friend for a decade didn’t even get 12 full hours of media coverage.
Just something to think about as we enter day 3 of Hunter pardon clickbait.

Progress in this country never comes easy or quick. For every few hard-earned steps forward, we might stumble a couple steps back. But sometimes, the slow, steady effort of generations is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.

Anyone else kind of annoyed by this outcome?? Good for democracy, no doubt. But where were these people 5 months ago? America is weird.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

When the Confederates were debating whether or not to conscript enslaved Black people into fighting for them during the civil war, Black folks met secretly and decided that if they got put them on the frontlines they’d just turn around and start shooting the rebels 🤣🤣🤣 Black people are funny

I think we should avoid reinforcing the co-opted and corrupted use of “DEI” to mean something undeserved given at the expense of the deserving.

"I have some potentially disturbing news for you," says @garrisonhayes.bsky.social in his latest video. "Throughout American history, the only group of people to consistently get jobs they didn't deserve because they were the right race or the right gender were white men."
Fun fact: White men don't have a monopoly on merit. #DEI

RFK had/has very real support from IRL people I’ve spoken to and I’ve concluded that Americans hate America as a country, but love America as their idea.
