This is why reading is fundamental: if we are not taught empathy and compassion for others, we can access it and develop it through books.

Why do you think book banning and removal of history is so important to the far right??

💯 agree. Let’s hear it.
Each Democrat who voted to censure Rep Al Green should hold an IN PERSON town hall this weekend to explain their vote to their constituents.

Yep. Let’s see who you are, Dems.
Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight.

If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times.

Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly!

Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.

Gulf of Mexico 🖐️ @tallgirl6234.bsky.social
Let’s make ‘Gulf of Mexico’ the new universal phrase. Instead of ‘high five,’ say ‘Gulf of Mexico!’ Instead of ‘iconic,’ say ‘that’s so Gulf of Mexico.’ Imagine the chaos. The confusion. The beauty. Who’s in? #GulfOfMexicoVibes

You take it out of the US map we put it in everyday US vocabulary.

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

This Black History Month, as our communities battle attempts to whitewash history, use us as scapegoats, and undo our civil rights, we must show up louder than ever before.

Let us celebrate the Black LGBTQ+ leaders who came before us and let their legacy guide us.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
