I’ll be collecting photos all week. And if you don’t want to share a photo of yourself then perhaps an icon or other non-identifying photo, with the text, “I Stand With You.” This is an easy way to show support for trans military members (and me). Please share and spread the word!

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

My grandparents were natural born German citizens. Until they weren't. I have copies of their documents, stamped "cancelled" by the government.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable streets.

Speaking as a rural Democrat, the strategists’ push to the move Dems to the center is ill-advised. No one needs Republican lite when there’s a Republican already on the ballot.

You know what? Giving up shopping at target and on amazon for lent is not a bad idea. I actually think it may be healthy for the soul, mind and body regardless of whether you believe or not. Something to consider. www.cnn.com/2025/03/05/b...

Donald Trump widely laughed at during his State of the Union address after claiming the USA spent ‘$8 million dollars for making mice transgender’ It was spent on transgenics not transgender, a genome engineering process importing genes from other species Thicker than a bricklayer’s sandwich 🥪

I commend every parent who is choosing to do the right thing by vaccinating their child as the measles outbreak spreads. There's no shame in changing your mind on a stance you were wrong about. Especially when it concerns protecting children from disease. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Just learned this year that Amazon deletes purchased ebooks after 2 years!?!?

submitted 116 days ago • 0 comments

Wherever possible please buy your books directly from authors and/or publishers. Even ebooks (then Amazon can't delete them either). We make a better cut and you get the same thing or better, plus Bezos and ilk don't get richer. Win win win.

This list is mostly Black women. It's clear that the entire anti-DEI project is just neo-segregation. It's the same reason they only targeted Black women at Harvard. They don't believe people of color or women should have any positions of power. www.aol.com/federal-heal...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

I didn't realize until someone said it that this is the first crash in US airspace with fatalities since 2009. 2009 was Obama's first year in office. The 2010s were the decade of "DEI." Diversity is strength, not weakness. Our motto - “E pluribus unum” - should have been an ideal to strive for.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

It is wild to me that “hey maybe we shouldn’t completely destroy the only planet that can support life just so 2000 guys can have basically infinite money” is not something that we all agree on??
