Please turn on the captions and watch this. It’s literally a video about how God made Trump. What the actual fuck is this? I can’t decide what’s more embarrassing, the content itself or the fact that this is about the President of the United States. 🤦‍♀️ 🌊

They want to impose work requirements on people to make sure they “earn” their benefits, while defending a system that lets employers pay disabled people less than minimum wage. The fucking hypocrisy is infuriating. Fuck Tom Cotton! 4029tv.com/article/sena...

Civilization is mostly people doing necessary work while the rest of us barely notice. The work is individual. The power is collective. Happy Labor Day.

Frustrating is an understatement when I work at a Title I school where 95% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. These are the students who need our investment most.

School voucher supporters claim that taxpayer subsidies make private schools more affordable for lower-income parents. But in Arkansas, schools are pocketing the subsides & raising tuition, proving that claim is pure baloney. #arpx #arleg #arnews www.arkansasonline.com/news/2026/se...

I keep thinking I’m living in a Black Mirror episode, except it’s the one where the writers lost the plot and decided realism was optional. Every time I think, “Surely this is too ridiculous,” somehow it gets worse. At this point, I’m not even sure there’s anything left that could surprise us.

Same department where we saw video a week ago of these insane steroid-filled hogs punching an 18-year-old Black girl in the face repeatedly. Modern policing is directly descended from slave-catching rings. Racism is hardwired into police DNA. We MUST defund the police & redesign public safety.

Jason Watson is a brave man that took a stand for the Constitution & the oath he took to defend it. We shared flyers & dropped hints of his protest. Thanks for paying attention. Here’s a new mini flyer to spread the word. Makes 8 per sheet! Free to print👇🖨️🔥 drive.google.com/file/d/1BEDJ... #DOOR

Some parts of motherhood are not celebratory at all. They’re just loving people through pain and hoping connection keeps finding its way back. Some days motherhood is less about feeling appreciated and more about continuing to love people through things you cannot fix for them. ❤️

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

Edward R. Murrow famously used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. He got his start on CBS Radio, which will sadly be shut down after nearly 100 years of operation. We need more journalists holding the powerful accountable like this.

Hey NWA, plan to come to this event to hear from these candidates! We will also have local mutual aid groups that you can help support.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Supporting an adult child with mental health challenges while navigating personal trauma, financial stress, and a very unsettled world is profoundly exhausting. Still here. Still loving. Still doing the best I can. ☮️ ❤️

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
