This passage from @michelleyoung.bsky.social’s amazing book THE ART SPY, about foreign Jews being summoned by Nazi-collaborating French police for “status review”—only to be arrested and sent off to internment camps—should sound *horrendously fucking familiar* to all of us living in Trump’s America.

Yaaaaaaaaaawn and then a little chirp

The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

hello please reply with your Pride-themed-merch that is supporting trans and gnc people especially / your small businesses / organizations-doing-good-work here and i'll try to share! thanks!!!

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

“The group estimated that reducing the operating budget by $900 million, as the Trump administration wants to do, would require closing 350 of the 433 parks, monuments, historic sites and other locations overseen by the Park Service… we would be witnessing the dismantling of a century-old system”

My family has a rule of No Talking On The Stairs because stairs are your enemy and they require vigilance

This killed me. I am now dead.

In general, the worse you make prisons, the more dangerous you make life for both prisoners and guards—which increases staff shortages, which makes things even more dangerous. TVs, air conditioning, good time, and visiting hours make everyone safer.

Strip District. Penn Ave. A cop just got on the air and said that a lady walked up to him and handed him a live rabbit. She then walked away. PD would like someone to come get the rabbit.

Speaking of rainbows, leave us not forget this classic!

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

This is what "anti-DEI" means to the Trump administration. It's not "some corporate DEI measures are pointless or counterproductive," it's "women and people of color are presumptively unqualified for important government jobs"

Welcome sign Gay, MI

Even if this statistic is correct (and I’m skeptical): it is weirdly hard to get the Covid shots, especially for kids. They don’t come out at the same time as the adult ones. There are no PSAs promoting them. You usually can’t get them at flu shot clinics.

Toxic to the rule of law, and yet another example of ICE/CBP deliberately *not* looking for all those supposed criminals, drug traffickers, terrorists, etc. They're going for literally the least dangerous, most law-abiding people they can find, the ones following every rule. The easiest targets.

the withdrawal of USAID and foreign aid has killed/is well on the way to killing more people than most of the other atrocities/genocides/war crimes the US has been involved in. which is saying something; the US has done a lot of horrific shit.

We need a feed that just tells you who is the main character of the day and has all the posts so we can get caught up if we were busy

I had not seen this WSJ article from earlier this week. The 1st Amendment violation admitted in the last paragraph of this passage would be too obvious to use on a law school exam. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

There is no such thing as immigration enforcement that doesn't impinge on the freedoms of citizens as well, and the more immigration enforcement you get, the more it will do that.

My food tracker app has an entry for “egg McMuffin, no egg” and now I know the identity of the saddest sandwich on earth

No, there was also unprecedented corruption & the people who died

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

It's BLEAK. In previous years, it's been easy to find pride stuff for my kids at mainstream retailers. Target and Old Navy usually have a great selection. This year, Old Navy has *zero* pride stuff for little boys. I'm staying away from Target but their website seems to have nothing either.
