@OCAmericans @abreezeclayton @NCDemParty @CBSNews @taureansmall For context, let’s pick up with his point…those same Republicans suppressed the voices and rewrote the words and dialect of Black women who were suffragettes.

Robinson doesn’t want all eligible folks to vote or he wouldn’t be running to keep history from being taught in K-5.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Billionaires shouldn't exist in a society where people are starving and homeless. Their wealth is a sign of a society that has failed to allocate resources equitably. That's true no matter how likable or unlikeable they are

[Brian Tolentino M.Ed @TolentinoTeach]

Students need to learn how to sit, think, and write for extended periods.

No phones. No computer.

Just their thoughts, the struggle to organize them, and the clarity that comes from deep focus.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

A nation that calls itself a “Christian nation” cuts healthcare and food assistance for millions of people yet instantly funds wars without question.

Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, and told Peter to put his sword away.

May we understand the hypocrisy.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

White people preach about merit but they did not earn the most social, political, and economic power in this country through their commitment to hard work and family values. Slavery, Jim Crow, and the residual systemic racism have given White people unearned advantages

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

"Why does our top performer get the worst reviews?" the boss asked.

I was reviewing their annual performance data.

"Show me," I said.

She pulled up the ratings.
Diana: 2.8 out of 5.
Below average on "collaboration."
Low marks for "team player."

"What's her actual performance?" I asked.

"Exceeded every target.
Landed our biggest client.
Trained three new hires."

"So why the low scores?"

"Her peer reviews are dragging her down."

I scanned the comments.
"Too direct."
"Challenges ideas too much."
"Not supportive enough."

"Let me talk to Diana," I said.

"I used to give honest feedback," Diana told me.
"Said our pricing model was broken.
Got dinged for 'negativity.'"

"What happened with the pricing?"

"They finally fixed it six months later.
After we lost two major accounts."

"What else?"

"I questioned why we needed
eleven approvals for a simple contract change.
Manager said I wasn't being collaborative."

"Are you still giving feedback?"

"No. I learned my lesson.
Now I smile. Nod. Say everything's great.
My reviews are improving."

"But nothing's actually improving?"

"We're making the same mistakes.
Just with better vibes." She chuckled.

I went back to the boss.

"Your review system doesn't measure performance," I said.
"It measures compliance."

"That's not true."

"When was the last time someone
got promoted for challenging bad ideas?"

Silence.

"When did someone get rewarded for preventing a mistake?"

More silence.

"You've trained your best people to stay quiet.
And your mediocre people to stay nice."

A few months later, they redesigned the system.

Added a category: "Constructive Challenge."
Points for identifying problems early.
Rewards for preventing costly mistakes.

Diana got promoted.

"What changed?" I asked the boss.

"We stopped confusing agreement with alignment.
Stopped mistaking silence for harmony."

"And?"

"Turns out our 'difficult' people
were our most valuable.
They actually cared enough to speak up."

Here's the truth about performance reviews:

Most companies don't reward performance.
They reward performance theater.

The person who says the meeting was great
beats the person who says it wasted an hour.

The person who agrees with bad ideas
beats the person who prevents disasters.

You think you're measuring contribution.
You're measuring conformity.

And your best people?
They've already figured out the game.

They're just deciding whether to play it
or find somewhere that values truth over comfort.

They tried to convince you Queer and Trans people were the threat to children, so you’d look the opposite way, and miss that it’s been straight white men in power this entire time.

“It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have”

— James Baldwin

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

The real enemy is white supremacy

[April Carr Wyche 🧜🏼‍♀️ @MrsBanks1111]

@TheSkepticWiz You are wrong. The first sin was disobedience, doing what was right in their own eyes rather than what was right in their Creator’s.

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

@shannonrwatts Please stop posting this photo. It is abhorrent and harmful.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

I will not sit idly as they use me as a prop in a closed-door kangaroo court by a Republican Party running scared. If they want answers, let’s stop the games & do this the right way: in a public hearing, where the American people can see for themselves what this is really about.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

basically, the US in 1776. there would be a "democracy"--of an elite: landowners, well-to-do farmers, merchants. no women--of course. no poor people--of course. no indentured servants, no enslaved Africans. just the relatively small elite that owned everything, controlled everything & especially the government which seems to be virtually the case now in 2026.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Trump was mentioned 38,000 in the Epstein files...

But after 1600 pardons
34 felonies
12 jurors im liable for rape
2 ICE shootings
1 insurrection
& a pandemic in a pear tree...

What could Trump possibly do that MAGA cultmembers won't excuse? https://t.co/wRAmNuB4oK

[The Oxford Comma @RealOxfordComma]

In lists of things, we often see
A tiny curve, a little key.
It sits between the final two
And gives a pause, a breath, a clue.

Without its presence, we might find
A sentence jumbled, undefined.
But when it’s there, we can be sure
Each item's clear, each phrase secure.

So let us honor, one and all
The Oxford comma, standing tall.
For in its use, we'll always find
A certain message, peace of mind.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Normalize saying: "I'll talk about this after I take a walk." Walking is the most natural way to regulate your emotions and process rational thought. Make no decisions before walking on them.

@MarcoFoster_ @ShaboozeysJeans For the sake of historical accuracy…
