RT @RCdeWinter:

A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

A whole new community of investors can now gain exposure to some of the biggest names in this space @Ripple @krakenfx @Figment_io @chainalysis — all through a platform built for accessibility.

The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film. The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage: “You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.” He was talking about Russia. The audience knew he was talking about America too. Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on. David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does. The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube. The Epstein files are sealed. The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count. Countless small acts of complicity. That’s how you lose it. A nobody is more powerful than you think. Never stop connecting the dots.

RT @queenie4rmnola: This is why so many White people attempt to censor Black history

RT @LakotaMan1: Exactly Why beat around the bush?

so Trump just replaced Kristi Noem, who didn’t have a law degree, with Markwayne Mullin, who doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree, as DHS secretary and they have the nerve to call well-educated, overqualified Black women “DEI hires”? oh the irony

If someone is racist, he or she should be at least consistent. Black innovations aren’t a side note in history; they’re an infrastructure of modern life.

Congress hasn’t figured this out yet.

“Man, I love being Black.” —Michael B. Jordan while accepting his NAACP Image Award

A lot of men's figure skaters are not graceful and really could use dance choreography. Yes, I said it.

RT @mehdirhasan: They are they openly saying they will rig the midterms with voter suppression, disenfranchisement, and intimidation.

Today’s American History Lesson: Puerto Rico has been part of the U.S. since 1898, and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917 🇵🇷 🇺🇸 We’ve cheered many non-Americans at the #SuperBowl. Bad Bunny isn’t one of them. 🏈 🎤

The Washington Post being gutted is just the latest evidence that we’d be better off without the billionaire class.
