In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.

It sounds absurd, but it’s true.

I want to say one more thing about my thread this morning. Plans don't mean you have to have a big nest egg, a escape plan etc. You need to think about how to be in community, to think about mutual aid, to think about your circle and how you can help each other. Now, not later.Things are moving FAST

We know Black history is American history thanks to generations of Black Americans who worked and persevered to deliver on the promises of justice and equality for all.

MAGA can’t stop the generations of Black Americans who keep leading us to become a more perfect union.

Happy Black History Month.

Because of all of you who raised your voices and concerns, Trump backed down. Just because the decision has been reversed doesn’t mean the damage hasn’t been done or the threats to people is over. Let’s keep the energy up and make sure the American people are paying attention.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

Costco mom now, target's out
Target’s cutting their DEI program, but just wait—they’ll be waving that Pride flag in June like clockwork. Why? The merch is already ordered, and the profits are too good to pass up. Performative allyship, aisle 3.
Target becomes latest company to roll back DEI programs
One of the country’s largest retailers said it will end the diversity, equity and inclusion goals it sets in three-year cycles and curtail racial equity initiatives.

JUST NOW: @aoc.bsky.social tells people to stick together and not underestimate what tech billionaires will do/suppress to “placate” Trump - pointing to the lack of coverage of Elon’s salute on major media outlets as an example.
