Happy Birthday, Jane Goodall! This animated story from 2020 is worth a rewatch. 💚 @janegoodall.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX0H...

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? “You are worthy.” That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @booker.senate.gov

"This is a moral moment: It‘s not left or right, it’s right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble.“ 👏 👏👏 Thank you @booker.senate.gov for modeling the way through.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

It's time to speak up for fired public lands employees! ✊ Illegally fired staff at Department of the Interior (including NPS) have NOT been reinstated, even though Forest Service staff have been Let's see if *public lands* leadership actually listens to the *public* 👀 tinyurl.com/RehireRangers

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

Who is on Substack? I would love to hear your recommendations, as I ponder my future on FB. Here is one post I found especially insightful: A history of Meta, Z*ck, and his enduring fascination with the Roman Empire — from a former employee. briepetrucci.substack.com substack.com/home/post/p-...

Good turnout today. #ggnra #protectpubliclands #sanfrancisco #presidio #sfprotest #nationalparks @resistancerangers.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social

More photos from yesterday's protest in SF's Presidio! It was wonderful being in community with these folks. Feeling inspired by the efforts of the organizers and everyone who showed up to stand up for the wellbeing of our precious public lands and those who work to protect them.

Thank you to the community organizers of the march through the Presidio today! The energy was incredible! #protectourparksandrangers

President Macron of France on Russia and Ukraine.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

You know what used to be uncool in the United States? Being a royalist

Trans youth deserve to be themselves, without government interference. That’s the world we’re fighting for. 📸 Will Martinez

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Attempting to rewrite history is fascism.

"A continuous becoming"

Not "all white people" are wrong. But when it comes to race, the majority of white Americans have been on the wrong side of every single racial issue in the 248-year history of this country. So why would anyone even care what they think about Black art?

“Love casts out fear; but conversely fear casts out love. And not only love. Fear also casts out intelligence, casts out goodness, casts out all thought of beauty and truth.” — Aldous Huxley Thankful for @mariapopova.bsky.social 's reminder to revisit Charlie Mackesy's gentle masterpiece.

The Trump Administration wants to undo generations of progress in addressing racial discrimination against Black people. No matter what, we will always fight for a version of “We the People” that includes everyone.

When the Nazis first came to power, within a few months, they raided the Institute for Sexuality which did the first studies of trans people. The books they seized were burned here, including a copy of Heinrich Heines poem that said, "where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too."

Marsha P. Johnson spent her life advocating for LGBTQ people of color, LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness, and people living with HIV and AIDS. She was a trailblazer for the trans community and an icon to all. Thank you, Marsha.

Thought this was just the thing for a first repost. Hope is a thing with feathers but also a thing whose wings might feel temporarily wounded. Keep fighting with hope.
