So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

What happened in Louisiana deserves more attention. 4 MAGA-supported constitutional amendments. All failed.
Great organizing work by folks like Gary Chambers.

That Louisiana win is a BFD (and a message to Wisconsin and Florida voters: yes we can!)
Activists, powered by Black early voters, defeated maga governor Jeff Landry, including in his own parish...

Black History Month aint over, and Black History Year never ends.
Today, we celebrate the birth of two TITANS of literary excellence.
Toni Morrison, who was born on this day in 1931. And Audre Lorde, who was born on this day in 1934.
There just ain't enough characters to express my admiration

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

So they SUED. They did not INDICT.
That’s not “bringing charges.” That’s filing a lawsuit.

To be clear: the Attorney General said the U.S. had filed “charges,” but what they in fact filed was a civil lawsuit. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Today is the 99th anniversary of Negro History Week...
or, as we call it today
Black History Month.
It's founder, Woodson, chose February 7 purposely because it ended on February 14th, Frederick Douglass' birthday, while also encompassing Feb 12, Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
Happy anniversary

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.
