I am a humanitarian who wants us all to act like humans. I work for a nonprofit. I am trying to write a book but I keep getting distracted by research tangents. I call out racism and misogyny and will block anyone who DMs me. #Resist

Usually #caregiving falls to the daughter. "Sitting in that small room, I realised then that life had shifted. My #ageing father wouldn’t be able to help much & my older brother is estranged... I would be doing this solo, a single woman w no partner to turn to, caring for [my mother]." #disability

The two things that we should do is fight against social welfare cuts and also attack Elon Musk for the chaos he’s creating. And I think that’s something that basically every wing of the party should be on board with. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/18/o...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.

This was not a close vote. 91% of group leaders voted for national to make this all. 7% said probably, but they needed more time. 2% opposed. We are a locally led movement. When local leaders speak, we listen. We encouage Demorats to rally around someone who can lead the opposition forward.

I remember when they painted Black Lives Matter on the streets of Washington, D.C. I remember when Google Maps updated to recognize it. Today, I walked by as they tore it up. I asked for a piece. The paint is faded. They pulled it from the ground. But.. Black Lives Matter.

This is how you resist...Every Republican Congressman is posting about the CR on Twitter. I am replying on each of their posts: "Make it make sense!! REPUBLICANS....WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING??? You have BRAGGED about how much DOGE is saving.You have: Cut jobs Cut Medicare Cut Medicaid

Your issues are the economy, social security, safety of our citizens (tornado warnings, firefighters, etc.), medicaid. If you want to clothing to show solidarity, Wear red, white and blue, be everyman and everywoman.

Be smarter. Don't wear pink right now. You wear pink,they make it about woke issues (transgender, abortion). The day after a bill like the one on women's sports you respond (uniquely - thy are talking points, not a word for word script)with "what about midwesterners who need tornado warnings?"

Well… today I have my first DOGE subcommittee hearing along with a Judiciary hearing, all while DC is snowed in! If I had normal coworkers & the country wasn’t going to hell lead by DOGE Douchebags, I’d say, “nothing to see here,” but something tells me, today is going to be pure insanity…

The thing that bothers me most is that when all hell breaks out, and it's full-on pitchforks and torches, Trump and Musk will slide into a jet and whisk themselves away while the rest of us fight for something we didn't cause.

I am proud of all the people who DIDN'T understand Kendrick's performance taking the time to LEARN more about the cultural impact & significance. We see you. We thank you. We appreciate you.
