I'm just a girl, living in captivity, your rule of thumb is worrisome.

The language used in the states to describe Assata Shakur in the reporting of her passing is disgusting. In 2025, if you don't know how the us government engaged in a full domestic assault on the BPP, then we really cannot be friends. You've been living in a hole.

For some of these survivors, the only support they have is these non-profits,” she said. “You’re getting the same response from the government as you are from the person who exploited you: ‘You don’t matter, we don’t care about you.’”

I see no reason that @colbertlateshow.bsky.social shouldn't work with Sharyn Alfonsi from 60 Minutes and air her unredacted and unedited story on the El Salvadorian prison, on The Late Show one night.

Bari Weiss has no say over Colbert, and Colbert isn't being renewed anyway.

Stephen, do it!

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work

Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary—Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K—Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—Now its 37%. Sure maybe you did work hard—but then closed the door behind you.

One silver lining I'm hanging onto for dear life going into this weekend: at least we have made his "dream come true" a relentless nightmare for him almost as much as he's made simple existence a living nightmare for us. 🤕🫤

Seems the EU has had enough & the Reparations Loan is a go! Maybe this will distract everyone's nightmare from everyone's other nightmare, & then, we will have "divide" locked in & the US can swoop in again with the "conquer" part, & we can all get back to the work of saving the planet GoTeam

I'm writing a letter this morning to the Betty Crocker Co. because I deserve a Peace Prize for saving nearly all of the cookies for the office thing instead of eating them by myself in the middle of the night.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

This should become a universal thread!! What were you up to at 15, friends??

When I was 15 I loved Whitney Houston & Madonna
I hadn't kissed a boy
I slept with several stuffed animals
Arcade @ the mall
Huge crush on C. Thomas Howell (Pony Boy!).
Because I was a child, a girl.
When I was 15 years old I was obsessed with boy bands

I hadn’t kissed a boy

I slept with a stuffed animal

One of my fave activities was hanging out at the mall

I crushed on Leonardo DiCaprio

Why? Because I was a child.

15 year olds are children.

Nothing anyone says will change that.

This is the current state of affairs: my adult daughter, facing quadrupled insurance premiums, talked to her GP and got a set of instructions for how to safely ween herself off her mental health meds, in case she can't afford them. Jesus weeps.
