Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

@tify330 @Sigmundine2 And if Astead were operating as an honest broker as a political interviewer, he'd insert that relevant and explanatory contextual info

He could contribute to accurate understandings — if he wanted to

"On Mar 10, 2025, Sec of State Rubio announced the cancellation of 5,200 foreign aid contracts and the dismantling of USAID. Scientific research canceled. Communication channels between global health entities frozen. Experts laid off or stripped of operational funding."

Imagine there were a person so reckless that their actions led directly to the Ebola outbreak, the screwworm outbreak, and millions of people dying from starvation and AIDS.

Would you invest in that person’s company?

@michelle_byoung I have had fun with those fantasies.

From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.

A Court that takes away rights, weakens voting protections, ignores ethics concerns, and shields their political Boss in the WH shouldn’t be shocked when Americans start asking whether it’s still a court or or an exclusive club of political stooges.

[2RawTooReal @2RawTooReal]

Since we’re talking about standing in solidarity with people who have been wrongfully targeted by Trump’s DOJ. Where is his energy for Rep. LaMonica McIver

@QondiNtini Lewis did?! Wow!

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Why am I posting this today? No reason. No reason at all.

[TaritaC.bsky.social @TaritaC]

Welp, we lost minority voting rights today.

Lost since leftists started voting 3rd party in 2000:
-Voting rights
-Climate change legislation
-Abortion rights
-Minority voting rights
-3 forever wars
-Progressive taxation

Is this the revolution Susan Sarandon assured was coming?

Terrible news from Tehran: I just heard that the Iranian authorities today arrested the great human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh. It's not known where she has been taken. Nasrin has been mentioned as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for her unflinching courage and moral leadership. I hope thought leaders worldwide will call on the Iranian authorities to release this brave woman who represents the best of Iran. Her husband, Reza Khandan, is already in prison serving a sentence for advocating for women's rights. Iran should release them -- and all political prisoners. It was wrong for the Shah to imprison people for peaceful expression of political views, and it's wrong for the Islamic Republic to do so today.
