Any “rebuild” of the Democratic Party must include getting corporate influences OUT. GONE. From leadership to primaries: GONE.
If not, it’s a waste of time, rearranging the chairs on the titanic.

MAGA wants transparency in the government so Biden should release every single little piece of information on Donald Trump and his friends.
All of it.

Kamala literally said i will give yall a $6000 tax credit for the first year of your child’s life & $25,000 the first time you buy a home.
And people said Trump, who wants to lower taxes for the wealthiest earners, is going to make them rich again. You can’t make this up.

We didn't need safety pins
We didn't need pink hats
We didn't need blue bracelets
We didn't need marches
We didn't even need Zooms
We needed you to get granny, antie, sister, daughter, cousin, mama, memaw, mamaw to the doggone voting booth.

Colleges & universities adopting institutional neutrality policies are acceding to & complicit with right-wing assaults on institutions and are ensuring that higher ed will never have a chance at having moral authority as we edge closer to our autocratic dystopian near future. 🧵

Nebraskans “are saying that public dollars belong in public schools with public accountability….The people are speaking.” Nebraskans voted to repeal a state-funded voucher program that would have funneled public dollars into private schools. nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/n…

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:
– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.
– Don’t share things before checking your sources.
– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

The subtle misogyny from men who act like allies to women, men who should know better, is sometimes the hardest to bear.

Writer @NaomiAKlein explains how the Israeli government is "fusing" the story of October 7 with the Holocaust to create "a new national identity" in an attempt to justify Israel's expansionist assault into Gaza.

AI can erase the market value of my writing but not its personal value. The act of writing still means something to me. Putting words together to think & learn makes me feel human. If you want to feel human, try to write something.

Thanks to @aj_fields for choosing my essay, The Blue Duffel Bag, published in 2023 in @LiteraryMama as one of her favorite works of nonfiction. It takes a community to encourage a writer! #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writerslift #Beirut #Lebanon #motherhood

Turn my living soul to stone
Then teach myself to live again.
