Nothing cuts deeper than a woman betraying another in her fight against harassment. When we silence, dismiss, or side with the abuser, we reinforce the culture of silence. Stand together. Speak up. No woman should feel abandoned in her fight for dignity.
America is no longer a democracy. The media is under government control, and dissent costs you money. Is this the beginning of capitalism’s collapse or just the loudest symptom?
It’s a big ask for Kimmel to give up $$$M, but I hope he neither apologizes nor donates to the Kirk family fund. Whatever he does, ABC will bend the knee—so why should he?

Say what you will, but my Illinois governor didn’t misplace their courage, unlike some politicians who treat their backbone like a fashion accessory, only worn when convenient. Proud to work for this state!

#JournoRequest: I am writing a story about the impact of the United States' #DOGE policies on US and European #scientists.

Are there scientists who are:
(a) From the #US or based in the US, and are considering moving abroad for research in response to the DOGE cuts? Where would you consider going?

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST.

I mean, WTF? 🤬

The average #SuperBowlLIX ticket costs $4,708. Of course President Trump was cheered by the crowd.

It would take someone making minimum wage 649 hours to make that much.

Black history isn’t confined to a month—it’s woven into the fabric of American culture every single day. From music to movements, innovation to influence, Black contributions shape the world. Erasing a date on a calendar doesn’t erase history. It’s here. It’s now. It’s always.
