"The National Park Service removed references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument website." ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL! When people gasp "how is he getting away with this?," the response is that we (the people) are LETTING him get away with this.

Today in the New York Times --communal leadership at its most powerful – prominent figures & trusted voices refusing Trump-Netanyahu with clarity and unusual unity in a loving show of solidarity with Palestinians. #saynotoethniccleansing www.saynotoethniccleansing.org

Senate Confirms Kennedy as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the vaccine skeptic and former presidential candidate who threw his support behind President Trump, was confirmed without a single Democratic vote. Only one Republican, Mitch McConnell, voted no.

NY TIMES: Trump stressed again today that he envisions the U.S. taking over Gaza and expelling roughly 1.9 million Palestinians to nearby countries, like Jordan and Egypt.

NY Times Morning Report: Trump proposed that the U.S. seize control of Gaza and relocate Palestinians there to other countries, saying he would turn the territory into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

Trump is weighing big cuts to the U.S. Education Department www.kosu.org/education/20...

wow, it's up already! watch me talk about things....? www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbQY...

I do not understand how we are all outraged about Trump, his tariffs, his sweeping executive orders, etc. etc. etc., but somehow Elon Musk is allowed to swoop in and declare government organizations and agencies defunct. HE IS NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL! Why are people not outraged over HIM?!

NY Times: The C.D.C. ordered its scientists to withdraw any pending publications that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant” or “L.G.B.T.” This is some bullshit!

Okay, bsky book nerds, recommendations please of humorous novels in Spanish. Most of my current bookshelf is on the heavier side, and, given the state of the world, I'd love something a little more light-hearted. #libros #librosenespañol #literatura #humor #novelas
