We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

You cannot claim to be eco-conscious and concerned about climate change and promote the use of AI. The two are antithetical.

I’m an English teacher who’s taught futuristic dystopian fiction for decades. It’s horrifying that we can now study it as non-fiction in real time.

Quite the indictment of AI products: they are more appealing to people who don't understand how they work and see them as magical
The paper concludes: "businesses may benefit from targeting those with lower AI literacy" and "maintaining an aura of magic around AI" ✨

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

This is their plan to starve Medicaid. Gutting Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars will rip health care away from kids, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, and working families. You don’t cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid without hurting millions of people.

We warned that Trump was going to purge nonpartisan civil servants and install loyalists, because he told us he would.
His own Agenda 47 explicitly said he would do this. Project 2025 laid out the framework and has been training loyalist replacements.
This is the first phase of that 👇🏾

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.
What can we expect to come from these fires?
Housing is fucked. Rents will skyrocket. Homelessness will go up. People will leave the area. Unemployment will expand. The film and tv industry is even more screwed. Building materials will run short. Infrastructure repairs will bankrupt cities.

Thank you for reading my book! So many great books out there. I very much appreciate you taking the time to read mine.
Next up was “The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman” by @choldenko.bsky.social and it hit me in the feels. Hard. Hank and his sister are characters you find yourself rooting for. I love it when middle grade books make this seasoned adult a lil misty ❤️
