One thing I wanna say is that much of what made D'Angelo so great is that he understood he was part of a continuum, a legacy, a lineage of great Black music across the generations. He named, revered, studied the greats who preceded him, then figured out how to take their work several steps further.

Among other things, the CFPB being the symbolic enemy of grifters and scammers everywhere is a big reason Trumpworld hates it so much.

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

Making sure child care providers stay open, kids are cared for, and workers stay in our workforce is a win-win-win for Wisconsin.

I'm proud that our state budget provides over $360 million to support our state's child care industry and working families.

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

Don’t let this happen. Call your elected officials (202-224-3121 to be connected directly). Demand they apply pressure to the USDA to come up w a robust contingency plan and ensure full EBT funding is guaranteed and no family goes hungry. We have the resources and need to make our priorities clear.

I hear you. I thought this was about talking to white liberals about the structural racism and how to decenter whiteness in democratic messaging and policy which is also hard but a little different

As a former elementary and middle school math tutor this makes me want to help unlock the beauty of shortcuts with fractions (here you just multiply straight across to get 2/12 which is 1/6 cup) but I also use a calculator so I understand 💕

And the wealthiest handful of people in this country who have been grifting hundreds of billions of dollars off the American people while paying zero taxes need to be required to pay their fair share

Kelly @broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 22h

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Don’t give them an inch - You’ve got this and we’re rooting for you as our neighbors. Especially on healthcare, it’s worth defending and demanding to keep and improve what you have rather than trading it for what we have over here

All the love you’re seeing for D’Angelo is what happens when you leave the world in a better place than how you found it.
