I’m haunted tonight by the children & families who are waiting for lifesaving AID we sent & will not be delivered bc of Musk & Trump.

It is unforgivable.

Any person who deigns to call themselves religious or moral needs to speak out.

This is children-in-cages-level-evil #USAID

Trump's pardons are a good chance to remind people that after the Civil War, instead of holding the leaders of THAT violent rebellion accountable, they were allowed to just walk back into power—governorships, Congress. Those same people put Jim Crow in place and spread the Lost Cause Myth.

Judge Cannon will permit DOJ to release Vol 1 of the report while holding up Vol 2, which they’d already said they wouldn’t, with a hearing. Oh, & she still lacks jurisdiction to do any of the above but 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last full week before we brace for Trump 2.0.

Rest up everyone, it's going to be long hard fight to protect democracy.

Really struggling to keep my Threads account amidst all this Meta shit. Which sucks, because the Swiftie community over there is elite.

With respect, I don't want to hear the diatribes from MSNBC hosts about how "democratic" the Democrats were this week by handing the reigns of power over to the Trump Administration. We may have a fascist dictatorship on the way and these people are jerking each other off on live television.

“I don’t understand why you don’t want to be in community with the people who are constantly yelling that they will murder you and your friends if they get the go ahead from their god president? Why not just put your fingers in your ears and say lalalalala to not hear it?”

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.

As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?
I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

I don’t even want to talk about Trump’s nominations today. Every day I’m more viscerally disgusted that people I’m related to voted for him.

don’t let the failures of some (major) news outlets disillusion you with media as a whole. and ESPECIALLY don’t let those failures desensitize you to attacks on free expression.

we can criticize media failures while also fiercely defending media freedom.

Taylor playing "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" the week after the election is exactly the kind of energy I was looking for tonight.

I can't look at politics without wanting to vomit.
