Although there have been discussions & articles about Project 2025, VERY FEW focus specifically on Trump's plans for Black Americans That's why I read all 922 pages of #Project2025 as well as #Agenda47 Here are the top 10 things I found: A thread: thegrio.com/2024/07/15/i-rea…

Spend 5 minutes around Trump and the first thing you realize is how dumb he is, ditto his kids. The next thing you realize is he’s a racist, then a sexual predator. Then a criminal. He basically reveals all this very quickly to anyone who is paying attention. Folks generally have one of two reactions, there’s ‘yes Sir, Mr Trump’ of greasy dudes who think it’s cool and there’s the moral folks who are disgusted. He’s a conman. Vote Blue.

It’s frightening that the media gave more national attention to President Biden’s dogs Commander and Major than corrupt scumbags in SCOTUS like Clarence Thomas and Sam Elito being bought by luxury bribes for their votes whilst Clarence’s wife Ginni Thomas plotted sedition.

I talked to Talking Heads about the making of STOP MAKING SENSE. David Byrne showed me how he danced with a lamp. (And much more.) theringer.com/music/2023/9/2…

The reactions to the Menendez indictment tell you everything you need to know about the two parties. Not a single Dem on my feed is whining about a “weaponized” justice system. Not one person is calling for civil war. Nobody is defending his actions. Instead, my entire feed is people calling for equal justice under the law, calling for him to resign, and hoping he is convicted and sent to prison if proven guilty. Only one party believes in the rule of law and its equal application.

If you’re wondering why some victims go by Jane Doe, see the vitriolic hate directed at me by this guy who has me confused with the brave victims of theMasterson rape trial.

Maybe while people are trapped at Burning Man is a good time to share some of the disturbingly capitalist hellscape stuff I witness each year from the supposedly non-consumption-based event. Short 🧵 from a Tahoe local/Reno shopper who has seen some things…

The last time we had three non-sequels as the highest-grossing films of the year worldwide? 2001.
OPPENHEIMER has crossed $850 million worldwide. It has now surpassed INCEPTION to become Christopher Nolan's third biggest film ever. It will also surpass GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: VOL. 3 to become the No. 3 film of 2023 globally.

I've returned several times to the strange social question, "Why are Americans so angry at the idea that child sex trafficking - particularly by large organizations and by kidnapping American kids - is not as common as people suggest?" Because they are, this comes up every

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.
