Some parts of the country say CA has all the crazies. I think we have the smart educated ones! Who know their pop culture.

What a fucking idiot www.bbc.com/news/article...

Idiots.

Pete explains things so clearly, so calm. So easy to understand.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

People want institutions to stand up www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

My heart breaks for this man and his family.

Might explain why they are destroying higher ed. Also the uneducated are easier to lead.

Posting so I can find it again.

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Im glad people are protesting , but it doesnt seem like T cares based on who he is listening to apple.news/AMggUmwciQwO...

I think I have to move up on my list for being a rockstar. He’s now higher than Gavin Newsom.

Oh wow! Such good news!!

So disappointing. Adding REI to my boycott list.

Oh my God, I just had a full night’s sleep and Cory Booker is still going… www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

Yep

After reading the Vanity Fair article, these were my thoughts exactly. apple.news/AMJ-K16v0SmK...

If you didn’t think we were next, you’re naive. apple.news/AbP5bOpEDSOa...

Columbia University has capitulated to the Trump administration’s demands, setting a dangerous precedent for higher education and democracy. “Resistance is futile. To get along, you have to go along.” Austin Sarat explains.

Have to find the actual polling numbers, but this makes me happy and hopeful!

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.

Agree! Avoiding because it stresses me out is no longer an option. I can do stress and so can you!

INCREDIBLE Ruling! Judge Reyes just ruled that transgender people have served honorably in the military, judges Trumps trans military ban - which states trans people are inherently dishonorable - as unconstitutional and motivated by animus. Trans military members may continue to serve.

BREAKING: A court overturned Ohio's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth. This is a critical victory for trans rights.

Yes, what is the “it!”

I’m wondering if we should stop protesting at Tesla dealerships and take the protests to the White House and Mar a Lago. I don’t think Musk cares as much.

😡

I hope RFK Jr and MAHA don’t muck this up!

Yep. What’s the plan people?!?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

😳. When did the Onion stop being funny and start writing truth??

No one ever said they were creative.

Wow. These are really interesting.

Whomever you support in whatever leadership roles, demand that they act with dignity and respect. Don't put up with the use of derogatory and racist slurs in televised, public speeches. No one deserves to be called horrible names by their leader in front of the whole world.

"ABC News is also shuttering 538, the data journalism unit Disney acquired from founder Nate Silver." Crap.

A fascinating read. AI is taught by humans, with all their biases. And intentionally follow a sociopolitical script. www.businessinsider.com/xai-grok-tra...

I haven’t. apple.news/A5O7Tmc1sRn-...

And it is all true: Trump does admire dictators. He does instinctively side with bullies over victims. He does lack any values-based framework for American foreign policy…in addition to his generalized amorality, Trump exhibits a particular affection for Putin and Russia. apple.news/AXohAuShTRXS...

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you don’t want to take a vaccine, fine with me. But don’t take away my choice for protection!

I’m getting nervous about states’ rights. I live in CA for a reason.

Congestion pricing was working! It was faster and easier to get around the city. I thought locals liked it.

I wasn’t sure if economic boycotts would have any effect, but happy to report they do! Keep it up!
