Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.
I really wish I could just let Palestinians tell their stories themselves without me because without interference from tech companies they do such a good job at it (I added the captions) Message from Taraji to @bsky.app
I keep forgetting to post here 🥴🥴🥴

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."
This admin is working on turning some aspects of protesting into a fed offense, and GUESS WHO will be the first round of folks who catch them charges. Not the folks asking for bouncy castles
they are busy insider trading
Everything is a conspiracy if you don’t know how anything works.
Profoundly insecure losers www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/0...
News: Diana Greene Foster, the MacArthur-winning author of the Turnaway Study, learned her NIH grant — funding a multi-year study on Dobbs' impact — has been pulled. She was told its bc the govt won't study "gender identity." Her work has shaped our understanding of abortion bans' consequences.
I.think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.” The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
You should know who this guy is. Some of the people influencing what is happening in this democracy downfall.
This is literally how the Holocaust started, and honestly I'm tired of saying so
imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop
NEWS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard signed a sworn declaration stating that she was a resident of the State of Texas. But then she voted in Hawaii.
This is his theory. Just unreal. If only it were 1913.
Rewatched @luvvie.bsky.social’s Ted Talk this weekend - a powerful 10 minutes. Be a domino✊ “People and systems count on our silence to keep us exactly where we are.” “In a world that wants us to whisper, I choose to yell.” “Bridges that aren’t built on truth will collapse” youtu.be/QijH4UAqGD8?...

Teen Warned Not To Accept Group Chat Invites From National Security Advisors She Doesn’t Know
Embarrassing.
This quote from @luvvie.bsky.social is something I need to remember. “Impostor syndrome can GO TO HELL. Cuz one thing l've never done is post top secret war plans in a public platformed group chat. I'm so much better at any jobs l've ever had than the UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF DEFENSE.”
The administration is LAWLESS. They break the laws ON PURPOSE. They aren't operating from any boundaries of legality and that's what sets them apart. The villains know they're villains, revel in it and dare you to check them. And Congress is full of spineless dweebs so...
Rebels need inspiration too! Can’t wait to watch these two come together in conversation! @alenciajohnson.bsky.social and @luvvie.bsky.social!
I just hide. This mf accidentally is going to violate us n leak it. BS...
The children were left behind and we don't give George W. Bush enough smoke.
Y'all. Have you slept under a weighted blanket??? We've made our bed blanket a weighted one and the way I knock out when I cover myself with it? FAMMM. This is a cheat code!
BUT HER EMAILS. BUT SHE WAS A PROSECUTOR. And now you got Drunk Pete texting where bombs gon drop to a random group chat. AMERICA IS EMBARRASSING.
What a phenomenal Women United event hosted by United Way. @luvvie.bsky.social was so inspiring. Ready to take on every room!
I love @luvvie.bsky.social's Little Troublemaker luvvie.org/books/little...
We are just hours away from United Way of Rhode Island’s Power of Women! @luvvie.bsky.social - this room will be filled with incredible humans who are all in on making change in our community and building a tomorrow with opportunities for Rhode Islanders! Can’t wait! #UnitedIsTheWay
Hey Dr. Will! I offer 1:1 consults and it would be really helpful for you. They're called Power Hours. More info here - Http://thebookacademy.org/power-hour
Got a 2 hr Thai massage. When the lady started using her elbows on my shoulders, I knew this was gon be a good ass whooping time. I needed it. My knots had knots. 😩 Afterwards, she was like "drink lots of water." I BETTER. All them toxins you just released. Thai massages are the best! 🤌🏾
“All comfort has done is maintain the status quo.” Today, I feel comfort is letting the powerful others take things away from those who need it. Those who really deserve it. I play this video from @luvvie.bsky.social often to inspire me. All you had to do was vote for the black woman. Still mad
I just watched @luvvie.bsky.social’s TED Talk, Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable, and I love her energy. She calls herself a troublemaker. I don’t think I am but maybe I’m a spacemaker... making room for others by showing up as myself. Still thinking about that... youtu.be/QijH4UAqGD8?...
This baby is just TOO CUTE!!! The dimples?!?! 😭😭😭 How can they say NO to her for anything???
@luvvie.bsky.social taught me that. She says "Give your first draft permission to be terrible. Let the words not make sense. Let them not sing. Draft 1's job is to exist. If you don't finish the bad first draft, you can't get to the 3rd draft that is beautiful."
Al Green and Jasmine Crockett are my leaders.
A scent with bergamot and amber and tonka bean HATES to see me coming. I'm gon wear it outtttt.
SOOOO excited for United Way of Rhode Island's Power of Women Luncheon on March 20th. We will be celebrating the amazing women who contribute to our state and we will have the incomparable @luvvie.bsky.social as our keynote speaker! Join us! www.unitedwayri.org/event/pow2025/
White development authors, coaches, business leaders. The people you are selling to, preaching to, are currently in the trenches and you acting like they aren't is disingenuous and lacks integrity. Yes, all this will affect your business too. Your silence is loud.
I'm not saying you pivot all your content to politics but during the election cycle, so few white coaches, leaders or influencers talked about it. And post election, even fewer. I'm not surprised. But many of them respect and follow me so I hope they see this.
It doesn't sit well w/ me that a lot of white "thought leaders" are making no reference or pointing to the crisis of this moment in their work. They keep posting their basic quotes and have said nothing different. They're living in a politics agnostic bubble and it is both unsurprising and raggedy.
📣 Headed to ATL this week on Wed. 3/5 for book signing at the ATL airport! AND it will be PRE-SECURITY, so ANYONE can come, even if you aren't traveling that day! Shoutout to Hudson Books for hosting me! 📅 Wednesday, March 5, 2025 ⏰ 12 - 2pm 📍 Shellis News, Hartfield-Jackson Airport South Atrium
Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
I need to try Severance. I've heard such dope things about it.
Y'all. I binged PARADISE on HULU and my goodness that has to be the best show on TV right now!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Jack Dorsey doesn't get enough smoke for his role in the downfall of all of this and I want that to change.
I just hurt my own feelings. I went back to my Instacart receipt from April 2024. A dozen eggs cost me $3.99. Yesterday, they cost $11.99.
I went to a Farmer's Market last week. Last night, I ate a leafy green salad with baked fish as dinner. *adds "Wellness girly" to my bio* 🤭🍃🧘🏾♀️
@luvvie.bsky.social this is so fuckin accurate.
Thank youuu!!!
In other news, lemme make sure ALLLLL my vaccinations are up to date. RFK gon fill them syringes with cough syrup and I'm not about that life. 😭😭😭
I'm thrilled to have one of my upcoming books that I illustrated (written by professional troublemaker @luvvie.bsky.social ) featured at Brightly! www.readbrightly.com/picture-book...
Currently reading @luvvie.bsky.social Professional Troublemaker. Can’t wait to write my personal oríkì and mission statement.
KEEP CALLING. The pressure is working.
Thank youuu!!!
Another #CodeOrangeBookClub selection. “I’m Judging You: a do better manual” by @luvvie.bsky.social . This is a good book for just all around advice on how not to be an asshole, and done in a witty, thoughtful way. Luvvie was my gateway author into decolonizing my brain.
Lmaooooo this is facts! 😅
Spelling my name wrong in 2025 is actually raggedy behavior. Cuz how long have we been at this? My first name is my username EVERYWHERE. How are you still spelling it wrong??? 😩😩😩
It's giving B613. All of this.
The Trump last name will one day carry the same stigma and disgust as Hitler. His lineage will want to mark his name off their family tree. He will be a symbol of the worst of humanity. And those who aligned with him will be too.
I am!!! Hiiii!
This is why we fight. Because the fight can still move the needle.
This is from @luvvie.bsky.social What type of a Professional Troublemaker Are You quiz so folks can know where to lean in. ➡️ TroublemakerQuiz.com
Watching this happen in real time is never not disheartening.
@luvvie.bsky.social said, “This is a marathon, not a sprint. The overwhelm? It's by design. They want us exhausted. They want us scattered. They want us too tired to think straight, too depleted to strategize effectively. 🗣️”
“This is a marathon, not a sprint. The overwhelm? It's by design. They want us exhausted. They want us scattered. They want us too tired to think straight, too depleted to strategize effectively.” - @luvvie.bsky.social Sign up for her newsletter here 👇🏾 luvvie.org/luvvletter/
I find so much wisdom from @luvvie.bsky.social and her newsletter is the one thing that keeps me sane. “This is about being STRATEGIC with your energy. You cannot carry every burden. You cannot be in every fight yet. You cannot show up for your people if you're drowning in everyone else's mess.”
Love to see it!!!
Thanks, Michael. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Talmbout "we understand the assignment." Y'ALL DID NOT UNDERSTAND A GAHTDAMB THING. 😒 And here's the part we haven't talked about enough: A LOT of white people who said they were voting for Kamala LIED. The exit numbers showed that. Y'all really gave Thanos the last stone. A complete utter fail.
YAYYYY!!! BTW, book 2 is out soon but available for preorder now! littletroublemakerbook.com
There's an obsession w/ humbling confident Black women. And it is not only from caucasity. And it's so gross. Folks will cheer for us until we get to level that they think is high enough. Then we're considered Goliath, not David. And folks wanna bring us back to Earth. Appalling.
We are in a soap opera. A whole telenovela. It's a terrible Tubi movie.
LMAOOOOOO!!!
You actually gotta GTFO. You over here peak Karening.
YAYYYY!!! BTW, book 2 is out soon but available for preorder now! littletroublemakerbook.com
New bedtime story for my toddler by @luvvie.bsky.social
White people, cowrie shells are not for you. I know you saw Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wearing a cowrie shell collar yesterday. I BETTER NOT SEE YOU ORDERING IT FROM ETSY!!! TAKE IT OUT YOUR CART. 🗣️😤
Thank youuu!!!
Excited to be there! Last time I was there was almost 10 years ago.
HEY. HEY. Yes, you. 🫵🏾 DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders. Take a deep breath. It's only day 2. Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall. This is a marathon
The books I could never leave behind con't: - "The Professional Troublemaker" by @luvvie.bsky.social (Ditto on the highlights and post-its) - "Misunderstood Vegetables" by @beckyselengut.bsky.social (The only recipe book I own)
We're gonna defend Black girls and women w/ our full chest. We won't let folks rewrite history, erase us or disrespect us. We won't be gaslit, blamed for systems we didn't build or be villainized for what others get congratulated for. So watch your mouth when you're talking to us or about us. 😤
I've become that auntie. 🫣 Niece comes downstairs in a tiny dress and strappy heels: Auntie, ain't I cute?? *poses* Me: WHERE IS THE REST OF YOUR DRESS?? It's 17 degrees outside! I couldn't even help myself. 🥴🥴🥴
