Help us stop the Big Ugly Bill from cutting what we need.
Our country should be a place where everyone has an opportunity to thrive and where a middle-class job is a reality, not just an aspiration. Tell Congress to stop cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and programs ...

Republicans are traitors. They have betrayed their oath to the Constitution, and they have betrayed every one of their constituents. Their depravity is gut-wrenching.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Mary Prince escaped in 1828, sharing her story and those of enslaved women. In 1831, The History of Mary Prince became the first account of a Black enslaved woman’s life published in the UK, inspiring the anti-slavery movement. 158 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

Descriptive representation isn’t everything, but King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail has been on my mind, and it’s impossible to ignore that so many of our institutions—universities, the Senate, news orgs—are led by white people whose liberalism so often wavers when it comes to race and justice.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.
But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.
Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.
Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

A Dust storm and hurricane force winds blanketed Oklahoma today. Wildfires broke out all over town, police evacuated neighborhoods as homes burned. Now, dust is just everywhere. You can just smell and feel it, even inside. Why is 2025 leaning so hard into the dystopian novel vibes??

I'm rewatching The Wire. A character in the episode I'm watching says, "A lie ain't a side of the story. It's just a lie." For some reason, that speaks to me these days (as do a million other lines from the show.)
