Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Bad move MSNBC. How come it’s always the smart BLACK WOMAN who gets the axe? And Alex loses her show, too. Why not Joy or Alex to replace the retired Andrea Mitchell? And I don’t like the idea of an evening (afternoon for us) panel show. We love you, #joyannreid. @msnbc #msnbc

Please share for trans/nonbinary/gender expansive people. And a note that they are the only hotline I know of that will NEVER send law enforcement to your house or hospitalize you against your will. 988, however, does that frequently, which is not safe for many people.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.
Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

Remember: Matt Gaetz resigned his present house term; he didn’t resign his 2025-2027 term. This was merely a ploy to stop the investigation as to whether not he had sex with an underaged girl. If he isn’t conformed (but WILL be with recess appointment) he could serve in the house.
