It's my birthday. Things I learned in the last year:
-women can get the HPV vaccine until age 45
-only date people you'd want to be friends with
-egg tarts are always a good idea
-I was overdue for a vacation without my mom
-more things get done when there's a plan
-ask people for help

They’re coming after funding.
They’re coming after education.
They’re coming after our data & payments.
They’re coming after workers that don’t comply.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to pillage our democracy to make themselves rich. But we won't let them.

Americans don't do history.
That's why we don't need a Department of Education anymore. Knowing facts is boring. Watching TikTok videos is more fun.

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

I want people to understand this.
For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.

In conventional history, the late 1800s is known as the ‘Gilded Age.’
For Black Americans, it’s the Nadir – an era marked by Black community and resistance despite oppression and disfranchisement. And the 2nd Nadir is here, says Nikole Hannah-Jones. She joins me at 10aET on #Velshi
