ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February. If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine. Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants. The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

I just realized that I met Joe Exotic at a state fair. I was 14 and OBSESSED with tigers. Here was this weird guy who let you hold, feed, pet a baby tiger AND get a picture with it??? It was one of the best days of my life and he was genuinely very nice. He let me sit with that baby for half an hour

Today is always bittersweet. I’m so happy and excited for my oldest’s future. To see who they’re going to become and are already. What a gift it is. 16 years of helping the most incredible human become who they are. Still, it was just yesterday we came home from the hospital. I love you T

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

We just saw a nazi salute, multiple times, during the Presidential Inauguration for the United States of America. When people show you who they are, believe them. Fuck nazis. And fuck Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and "The American Oligarchy". And fuck supporting Nazis with Twitter, too.

Autism doesn’t make me accidentally do the Nazi salute. He knew what he was doing. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

You know what’s insane? The US government is going to take my main source of income away like it’s nothing. Then they’re going to lie about it and say it’s cause China has my data as if Zuckerberg hasn’t done the exact same thing with no consequences.

Client: "Can you use this image of Luigi Mangione, and make me stickers with it? And maybe make it big enough for a tall church candle? And maybe a Bible-esque quote?" Me, mentally processing the request: "😲...😱...😁! Gimme 24 hours!" Possibly the funniest & best commission I've done this year 💖

Trump’s chief of staff was a corporate lobbyist. His pick for transportation secretary lobbied for airlines. The richest person in the world and another billionaire will run a new department of “efficiency.” They’re telling us exactly who they will work for.
