Free speech keeps the state from silencing us, but private companies can still decide the price of our words. For communities of color, this has always been the reality—our voices policed harder, our truths questioned more. Yet speaking out is how we break cycles and create space for change. #Pinks

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The fact that he's doing everything in full view and STILL getting away with it should worry any sane person. When you give one man this much power without checks and balances, you ultimately will reap what you sow.

Yes! We’ve been desensitized to tolerate open corruption, disappearing of oversight and functional government, military presence on the streets… Sadly I don’t know what red lines are left if people are not outraged by now.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data.
I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

Police say self-inflicted, but family notes bruises and a leg fracture. DSU, a mostly white school, has a history of violence against Black students. He’s the fourth Black man found hanging this year, all ruled self-inflicted.
