This just in per NYT:
Poverty among children more than doubled in the United States last year, as living costs rose and many federal pandemic aid programs ended.
We are a nation that intentionally starves our children.🤬

It's always been very convenient to paint the South as uniquely racist-but anyone with a brain knows it's not true. So STOP threatening to "cut the red states loose." There are LOTS of us down here doing the work-day after day, year after year. If you want it to change, move down here & HELP us!

It will take decades to undo the damage to our country due to over 53% of white women and close to 60% of white men voting for trump. White folks please talk to your family and friends about voting for the Biden/Harris administration in 2024 or our democracy won’t survive. The onus is on you.
Pat Moore @PatMoToday's discussion with Hillary Clinton underscores the foresight of the 94% of Black Women who voted for her in 2016. The choices made by the electorate, including the 53% of White Women, have lasting implications.10:19 PM - Aug 14, 2023

I swear! People are out here acting like a bunch of whiny babies. Threads will be AT LEAST just as awful as Twitter was before Muskrat took over. If we want something different, it takes time, engagement, and CAPITAL. It's not rocket science. Give some money so they can get the IOS app done faster.
Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyBluesky has an Android and iOS app, 13+ million in investments, and Threads just ate their lunch. Spoutible having an iOS app isn't magically going to catapult us to the top. Everything that is happening would've happened with or without an iOS app.01:41 PM - Jul 07, 2023

Joyce Vance @JoyceWhiteVanceBefore Tennessee expelled two Black legislators today, Georgia refused to seat a Black legislator in 1965 because he opposed the Vietnam war.

Liz Cheney is anti-Trump, but she voted for Trump twice, and voted in line with Trump's position 92.9% of the time when he was the president.
