the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

Have you seen Hidden Figures? You should! Gabrielle is right, the ONLY reason we made it to the moon is because of a brilliant Black woman.
Reminder: a Black woman created the math that put humanity on the moon.

The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.

Elon Musk falsely claims that it’s a crime to publish the names of his partners-in-crime who have illegally seized access to Soc Security, Medicare, & other personal data.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
Federal health workers terrified after ‘DEI’ website publishes list of ‘targets’
The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Snipping one part of this to again note: it seems very few members of Congress realize what their lives are going to be like in the near future when Trump/Musk rip out some of these gears that run the America machine. They will face angry mobs everywhere they go, including their homes.

Disabled people more than ANYBODY suffer with the elimination of the Department of Education. Making Black people the face of “DEI” was a distraction.

IEP plans, funding to ensure special education programs are available AND HAVE FEDERAL OVERSIGHT so kids aren’t abused, etc.

The consequences of abortion bans are not theoretical — they are real.

Abortion is essential health care and we won’t stop fighting until everyone has safe and equal access to it.

Lifting Black writers is always important, but this Black History Month it is INCREDIBLY so
It's Black History Month! Every day for Black History Month, I'm highlighting one of my favorite Black writers or authors.

Today is @prisonculture.bsky.social, who was my introduction to abolitionist thinking and one of the most brilliant minds of her generation. That's not hyperbole.
