Young Kenyans who took to the streets to protest corruption and poor job prospects are being charged in antiterrorism courts funded by the U.S. They face decades in maximum-security prison.

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

Boomer coworker’s computer is acting up. Company bought him a replacement. He’s nearly in literal tears at the thought of having to change computers because he can’t handle technology.

You’re a VP with our company making 6-figures and a new computer breaks you down?

Fuck you.

70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.

Here in Illinois, we promise to never hide from our history — no matter how painful the chapter.

We honor his memory and his brave mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, by continuing the fight for civil rights and justice.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.

Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.

Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Every worker should expect safety, dignity, and respect on and off the job.

But institutions have long shielded sexual abusers and silenced survivors.

Our bill is a critical step towards protecting workers and ensuring accountability for sexual discrimination, harassment, and abuse.
Pleased to team up with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov and @pressley.house.gov to reintroduce legislation that combats sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

We’re fighting for protections, transparency, and accountability for workers and the public.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
