It’s weird that all this couping and criming and destruction of the government is happening and no one is doing anything about it, right?

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

This is unconstitutional and illegal. Executive Branch Departments cannot be eliminated by fiat. Congress must approve removing the Department of Education.

Incredible chart

My entire issue with the idea of superheroes actually. So glad my preschooler switched from liking them to liking cats. 🐱💛

Once again even during war Israel has an obligation as an occupying power to give aid to the civilian population of Gaza so this is a war crime. Cutting off aid is not a valid way to negotiate the end to an armed conflict

🧵 Yesterday I shared my views on how disordered discourse has captured the US state and the risk of that happening elsewhere, but I don’t want to leave you hanging without proposing a solution.

This rather helpfully makes my point about disordered discourse. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The thing about normal working class people is, they're always talking about how working class they are. "I'm on this assembly line and it's an integral part of my identity, not simply what I do to make a living," they're always saying. "And also I hate identity politics."

Trump's push to cut federal funding and dismantle the Department of Education puts millions of students at risk. March 4, we’re taking action—rallies, walk-ins, town halls, & more—to demand lawmakers protect our schools, not gut them. #ProtectOurKids

LMAO, I know I’ve “made” it when a research term I’ve formulated to describe the specific experiences of a particular deaf student population has been criticized in actual publication. I see it as a form of silencing me, whose identities & experiences overlap with this particular student population.

New, from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: Trump said "Social Security would not be touched." Now the Trump admin proposes a 50% cut in Social Security employees. This will absolutely gut SSA's ability to serve everyone who depends on the program - which is everyone. 🧵 open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how willing people are to acquiesce to their oppression. Like if you're censoring yourself in anticipation of censoring then you just did their work for them. Stop it. Especially if you can afford to. Each time we do that we build their castle for them.

✋🏼 not just today.

Oron att utsättas för hat, hot och våld har blivit mer påtaglig bland Järvas muslimer efter massakern på Campus Risbergska. I ett internt dokument, som Nyhetsbyrån Järva tagit del av, målar två lokala församlingar upp potentiella risker och säkerhetsåtgärder inför ramadan.

Thinking this morning about how many American disabled people and our families, and elderly people, are just a 2-weeks-late check away from homelessness

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

It's here!

I mean it in all seriousness when I say if the Democratic Party is to have a future, it is beyond essential that the Hochuls Schumers Carvilles and Pelosis are removed from it and have no say or sway over any of it's processes or decisions and this happening asap is a matter of national interest.

The latest in a string of attacks by political campaign groups like CAA to shut down UK academics who conduct critical research on 'terrorism' and political violence. This attack against hugely respected Prof Jeroen Gunning should concern all academics. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Any legit press would find a way to report true things and avoid amplifying the swirling vortex of lies.

Trans people are not a threat. Trans people are not a threat. Trans people are not a threat. What is a threat? The extremist fundamentalist Christian theology driving these draconian policies and legislation. Christians like Rubio are a threat because he subscribes to that theology.

NEWS: In USDA, multiple people have been asked to report the names of LGBTQ employee resource group leaders to higher-ranking officials, according to interviews with workers and a document reviewed by Mother Jones. + similar in the Department of the Interior

8 yrs ago today I had the privilege to meet Pope Francis at the workshop on the human right to water at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences at the Vatican where I was invited to speak. news.syr.edu/blog/2017/03... I hope the Pope’s health improves. His messages on care, people & planet are important.

NEW: Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact-checkers at the same time as it’s revamping a program to pay bonuses to creators with high engagement numbers, potentially pouring accelerant on the kind of false posts the company once policed.

Mohamed is one of many friends from Gaza who has persisted in being on Bluesky even as they continue to lock out Palestinian accounts (thanks guys, very cool of you). You can take the farmer off the farm but he's still going to find a way to grow something. Look at his little farm in al-Mawasi?

BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.
