The best way to protect democracy is to actually participate in it.

I thought this administration swore to “protect women.”
We always knew that was a lie.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.
Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Trump intervention suspected as Andrew Tate, brother Tristan leave Romania for U.S. despite rape charges
Four British women who've accused Andrew Tate of rape are "in disbelief and feel retraumatized by the news" that he's been allowed to leave Romania for the U.S.

Maybe I’m missing something here. But wouldn’t Gaza benefit most from USAID instead of the military?
Maybe we need a Department of Common Sense?

I’m grateful for pushback! 🇺🇸 Dissent is patriotic!
Thank goodness: after an outpouring of public dissent, Lackland reversed its terrible decision and will thankfully be teaching recruits about the Tuskegee airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots again. A reminder that we must always push back: www.expressnews.com/news/article...
Air Force says new recruits will again learn about Tuskegee Airmen
The head of the service's San Antonio-based training command said a video about the pioneering Black aviators would remain in the basic training curriculum.

4/ The biggest surprise? Media indoctrination and civil liberties repression are the most predictive of autocratic survival. These findings have big implications for “information autocracies” in the digital age.

The Tuskegee Airmen served at a time where our country did not serve them! They served valiantly abroad only to return to visceral hatred and violence of Jim Crow. We need to be taught about the heroism of the Tuskegee Airmen more now than ever!

When someone craves a legacy, evil is an easy shortcut. Collective desperation is worse—suppressing dissent, excusing violence, and fueling authoritarianism. Today, evil hides in Christianity’s name, twisting faith for power and control—the ultimate form of blasphemy.

I’m currently watching Behind the Movement.
In school, they said Rosa Parks was brave, but they didn’t teach us the full risk—by staying seated, she and her family faced potential violence and assassination.
Even the smallest acts of defiance can shake the foundations of injustice.

So Stargate. 👀
What’s available right now is vague.
But I did hear them talk about health records and building their first data center in Texas.
This is concerning because Texas is leading efforts to criminalize reproductive healthcare.
Stargate is another tool to profit off of our data.

Socrates was executed for ‘corrupting the youth,’ but his ideas were about liberation—teaching critical thinking and questioning injustice. Today, attacks on the LGBTQ+ community echo this: what’s framed as ‘corruption’ is often about living authentically and challenging outdated norms.

Saw a TikTok from Jessica Valenti: a woman criminalized for miscarrying in a public bathroom—terrifying. Swiped to a video on Realbotix: customizable “girlfriend robots,” to look like another person. The contrast is chilling. This is what it is to be a woman in America. #ReproductiveRights

Yesterday, President Biden finalized a rule to remove medical debt from the credit reports of millions of Americans.
The number of Americans with medical debt on their credit reports will be zero — down from 46 million right before he took office.
Why isn’t anybody talking about this?

“You’ve got big “I’m too busy being passionately curious to respond to your text” energy.”
It’s not wrong. 😆

Jimmy Carter’s life was a testament to service, compassion, and the fight for human rights. From promoting peace to protecting democracy, his legacy will inspire generations to come. Rest in peace to a true leader who embodied hope and humanity.
Jimmy Carter “described his second career as ‘waging peace.’ That work remains far from finished, and it remains for those who admired Mr. Carter to continue,” the editorial board writes.
