Hi! Great question.

Read up on project Esther which is the second iteration of PJ2025. Focuses on stripping women of their rights and prioritizes defunding activism.

So Project 2025 is a thing but do yall have any doubts that they have one for every year that follows?!

I just imagine that they have more versions that are a lot more evil to come over the following years.

Rudy wants revolution. @rude1.blacksky.team · 21d

We're living under a christofascist administration who explicitly hate their political opponents

The non-technical opinion columnists have painted a decentralized app as a "liberal" hiding place

VP of said administration created an account to troll

The company behind the app is trying to survive

This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you.

In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.

Rising Unemployment Among Black Women Is a Bad Economic Sign

"Black women are the canary in the coal mine on the health of the economy," write Cooper and Opoku-Agyeman.

They’re not equipped to handle mental health crises. Ppl need another option

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · Sep 9

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.
