Today I deactivated my Twitter account. I hope that today and tomorrow there will be a mass exodus from Twitter in order to send a message to Musk and Trump. Lies are not cool. Liars are not cool.

MAGA, you do realize the main difference with Prince Andrew being arrested is that Kash Patel and Pam Bondi aren't overseeing his investigation?

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath.
Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

Day 17 of ✊🏾 #poems
Your widower evicted you
from his closet today.
Shoes stacked to the ceiling
bagged with toe-tags.
He turned to me
Do you want ‘em?
I responded
Yes! Yes, of course, I do.
I want to walk in your shoes
feel the dents and grooves
carved by a way-maker.

tRump was able to make the tax cuts to his ultra-wealthy donors permanent AND he raised the debt ceiling AND US Treasury Bonds were REUCED to an AA rating making money more expensive for the country to borrow. PLUS, all this 👇

Women shouldn't have to do anything more than men to vote. If they have to pay for another form of id in order to vote, that's a poll tax which is financial and sexual discrimination.

“The left is missing out on AI!” YEP. Most of us want to miss out! If it ever proves its actual usefulness to our actual lives, stops plagiarizing, and is no longer an environmental disaster, maybe we revisit. Burden of proof is on the industry. So far they’ve done the opposite of that!
