Trans women will be in mortal danger:

Yeah. Diversity and excellence are never mutually exclusive:

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. LET’S FUCKING GO!!!! apnews.com/article/dei-...

DJIA MAGA report card: this might be the only language they understand. The market shat 1K points this week. Lots of “wins” today, I hope his actions don’t trigger a Great Recession or Depression but all the warnings are flashing red

A first ❤️ DEI win today. No kings and the administration surely can figure out in what orifices to shove that EO

Today the Senate votes on Kash Patel for our FBI Director. Call them. Leave message. (202) 224-3121. Patel is a danger to American democracy & to every American. - he aims to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and to all freedom loving Americans.

Bone chilling forewarning: When I hear the kind of hateful and divisive rhetoric that the Trump campaign was espousing, I hear echoes of the rhetoric I heard in Rwanda. : www.bu.edu/articles/202...

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Call to Action #Feb22: Rally for Democracy. West Hollywood, California, February 22nd at 12 PM. #3E #USprotests

900 former Department of Justice prosecutors, including former special counsel Jack Smith, signed an open letter expressing concern about Trump’s Dept Of Justice & its politicization of prosecutions. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/d...

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote. This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused.  NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

Well said.

Agree.

Happy Valentine’s Day comrades 🤭🖤

Just read this, a much bigger problem : cyberintel.substack.com/p/once-priva...

Ooops! DOGE didn’t know how to make a government website and are AFK so it’s open edit! lulz jokes up on there! |_0|_z

Last night Musk called the working class “the parasite class” and lol’d that his team will only affect us. I was worried for about a week there might be some kind of civil war but It’s shaping up into a class war. Eat the rich and we can all eat cake 🎂

Think 11 million is a big number? It is… but we are CAPABLE. We’re smart, we all have different skills to contribute. And together, we can reach our goal. #generalstrike #uspolitics

Call to Action for Canada: United Against Fascism, February 15 2025, to oppose Trump, Musk, PP, the rise of the international far-right regressive movement and show solidarity with the oppressed people of the US. #3E #SolidarityNextDoor

Alright. MAGA at Kennedy Center. Launching the boomerang? NEA whazzup

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

At my ortho surgeon visit I was super touched that she put my book in her evac box! www.artbook.com/978908331889...

If this comes to pass I might not have hope for treatment of my bone diseases (I have two rare ones). This might also mean I lose my planned surgery May 5 with ortho oncology to replace my tumor hip joint. not sure what to do but I know I will be in good company in my suffering and uncertainty 💔💀✊🏻❤️💀

In one of Elon’s outcries about fraud, he actually ended up cutting funding for cancer research. Despite initially denying it, he was later proven wrong. This incident highlights how little he actually understands about what he’s doing.

I was at the doctor today and I asked her about the state of public health. She said her patients are asking how to manage medications if they’re detained by ICE. They were asking for their children who need medication, in case their kids are taken. Fuck. 🫀

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

My peoples’ reply:

Judge John D. Bates of the D.C. Federal District Court has ordered the CDC to temporarily restore pages removed from its website to comply with Trump’s executive order barring references to race, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Proud of my colleagues at Fulcrum for creating this deep and thoughtful project in art and science ❤️✨🛠️💎

So, as it turns out, threatening another nation’s sovereignty is not legal and it looks and sounds very very stupid

Trump and the GOP are in a full-out war against science. I have a lot to say about that. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/the-attack... 🧪 🔭
