Not sure why, but the picture that is sticking with me most from today is of these kids outside the school in pajamas. Like, they showed up to school on wear-PJs-bring-a-stuffy-let's watch-a-movie day, and this unending American nightmare happens to them. We have failed them so completely.

A second-grader called 911 to report the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School. It should make us ill. We must do better. We must demand more. #EndGunViolence #GunReformNow

Trump is appointing hardliners to his administration who want to deport ALL UNDOCUMENTED Immigrants & DACA. My ❤️ breaks especially for DACA who obey our laws and are gainfully employed with families. Will they be rounded up & deported to a Country they don’t know? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/u...

Senator Kristen Gillibrand is leading an effort to convince Biden to sign the Equal Rights Amendment. It would wind up in the courts, but it’s the right thing to do!

Wild stuff going on in Texas right now. Amid an incredibly contentious Republican fight for Speaker of the House, the Texas GOP has passed a resolution vowing to censure anyone who doesn’t vote for party leaders’ preferred candidate — which will bar any censured lawmaker from running in primaries.

My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria. The transition starts now. Make no mistake: it will be incredibly rocky. But today, take a beat to hear the soft, human joy of many Syrians as they cry, embrace, learn if wrongly jailed loved ones survived & vow “now we can go home.” 🧵

This made my day! I remember that horrific video showing Florida Highway Patrol trying to rescue him. He was not only tied up, but was standing in water, cold and scared. This is a very happy ending to the story. So glad Trooper found a forever home with a comfy couch and people that love him.

It’s really disheartening to see trans users having to step back from Bluesky because of the influx of transphobic harassment. Trans posters built the culture of this platform and it would behoove cis allies to advocate for their safety as Bluesky expands and they get targeted

@timmiller.bsky.social published Kash Patel's "Executive Branch Deep State" list, originally an appendix to his "Government Gangsters" book, and posted it on xitter. 50+ current and former officials who Patel intends to target. I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

This is terrifying. The law in particular is focusing on adults who help teenagers get abortions. It's targeting those who are helping.
