Today is set to go down as one of the darkest days in American history. I don’t have to explain why. You and I know the answer. What’s bizarre is just how many Americans don’t know what this day means for them, and won’t figure it out until later. It’s midnight in America.

I couldn’t sleep, so I watched his speech again. And then I made this because, honestly, I’m going to need the reminder. Maybe you will, too.

Donald Trump has nominated _his own personal attorneys_ for the _top three positions_ at DOJ.
Where is the outrage from the legal community? From academia? From the media?
Trump is a man who has repeatedly says he has a right to control all DOJ operations and to treat DOJ as his personal law firm.

My 14yo gave this to me a few years ago when I was buried under a ton of shame because my struggles with depression over time used to make it hard to go do fun things with my kids & I never felt like I was as good a mom as they deserve…
I am SO FUCKING LUCKY, y’all.
My kids are incredible humans ♥️

I was a content moderator at facebook for 3 and a half years and I can tell you first hand the only thing facebook has ever cared about, about what is and isn't acceptable on the platform, is having as much on there as possible, as many users as possible, there's never been a moral standard

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Great 🧵 on the realities of LA
I know it’s super tempting to conflate LA with Hollywood & the entertainment industry & again to conflate those with the highest profile, most comfortable people in those industries…
BUT…
The reason LA is so big is bc it supports MILLIONS of ppl. Those industries support MILLIONS.
