I'm... sorry, they called it "Deportation ASMR"? I used to be so grateful my family left Germany well before the 1930's. Now I live in a country where Himmler can livestream from Birkenau. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/18/w...

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

Firings are happening right now at the National Science Foundation. Essential staff are being cut. This isn’t about the budget. If it was, they’d be going after the military (17%) or state appropriations (38%). NSF is 0.7% of the federal budget. All federal employees make up only 4% of the budget.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

I miss the days when very rich people used their money to fund libraries, public art and philanthropic endeavors rather than launching slow-motion coups against the federal government.

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

Rumors that CDC.gov is disappearing are greatly exaggerated, but it’s true that lots of information has been taken down, some for cleansing of “gender ideology,” and some permanently www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/h...

After watching this video, you will never look at a simple bag of lettuce the same way again. The average workday for an undocumented immigrant is 10-12 hours, and many get paid below minimum wage because their employers know they are afraid of being deported. How many Americans want this job?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Help me understand: Why is environmental stewardship being treated as a "liberal" agenda? They're literally CALLED conservatives. Wouldn't they want to. . . Y'know, conserve? And if you felt that this is God's green earth, wouldn't you want to show it respect and care? #climate#science#Christian

If you ever find yourself losing faith in people, or wondering “do people even CARE anymore?!”, visit your local library. I say this without hyperbole, I am always struck by how much librarians care, every time I’m there. Always helping. Always tending. Always reaching out. We owe them so much. 💙

We have a souvenir flag from Medieval Times that we keep inside our front door, and if one of us is having a bad day, we put it at half-staff when we get home, that way the other knows as soon as they get home and can adjust accordingly and this is a very good system indeed

It is fucking insane that Nazis feel comfortable enough to give a sieg heil at a Presidential Inauguration. They need to be more scared. We need to do things that terrify them.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.
