#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited Fighting & protesting is much harder on me now than it was 45- 50 years ago! But I will NOT give up. I also will not neglect self care. “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

An anniversary worth marking. I'm sure we're going to see the very people who have trashed its legacy seek to appropriate WW2 today - so let's remember what was really fought for: peace, a more united Europe, a land fit for heroes (mark 2) and the defeat of fascism.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

We tried the line item veto. Congress passed it. The president signed it. The Court struck it down. This is a back door line item veto. It is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL and that’s why she’s babbling gibberish instead of saying she will/won’t spend this money as directed by CONGRESS. youtu.be/2P2PH5r4mAQ

A lesson none of these people will learn: everyone's "waste" is someone else's "critical service." You don't care when this or that program you don't directly rely on gets cut; don't be surprised when someone who doesn't directly rely on your program doesn't care when it gets cut.

Important update from @oneaid.bsky.social! Many of us have been closely tracking the status and fate of the memorial wall in honor of USAID and partner staff who died in the line of duty. After weeks of uncertainty and rumors about its status, the wall was removed yesterday 1/🧵

Everyone now and again I will see someone use the phrase "woke mind virus" seriously and I will wonder what it is like to be them, and to have a head full of rancid pudding where a brain is meant to be

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?
