In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular." "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"

The FLDOE has yet to approve a sex ed for Broward’s 24/25 SY, despite the district first submitting it back in Sept. The district sent revisions based on verbal feedback, but those haven’t been approved either. The obstacle: birth control & other contraception. www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/03/01/b...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH. An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

A reflection on Women's History Month, being a mother of daughters, and the looming specter of Project 2025.

YEP. If there's one thing I've learned as a kidlit author, it's that kids love the poop and fart jokes.

Groups tied to Elon Musk have already spent more than $4.2 million on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race—a clear sign that his plans for oligarchy extend well beyond Washington.

"I became a writer as soon as I was in prison. I was sitting in a cell thinking, what am I going to do with these nine years?" In a conversation with PJP, Reginald Dwayne Betts shares how he became a prison poet.

Measles vaccinations fell to 40% during pandemic, before it was 85-90%. people aren’t getting vaccine because of many factors, including vaccine fatigue Who would have imagined that having to get a series of Covid shots would lead people to give up on vaccines that have saved lives for decades?

Maggie Lena Walker was the first Black woman to charter a U.S. bank, leading the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank. A trailblazer in finance and civil rights, she empowered Black communities through economic independence. #MaggieLenaWalker #WomenInBusiness #WomensHistoryMonth

Sen. Mike Lee has introduced the SCREEN ACT, a bill that applies the "harmful to minors" standard used to ban LGBTQ+ books and resources in schools and libraries... and apply it nationally—to the internet. Under the guise of protecting kids from "pornography" www.lee.senate.gov/2025/2/senat...

Never having attempted to make Moms for Liberty “find out” before, I find this a very useful 🧵

less than one year ago, a clinical trial reported that all 41 rectal cancer patients enrolled had complete remission WITH NO SURGERY, RADIATION, OR CHEMOTHERAPY. Funded by the National Cancer Institute, which is part of NIH. 1200 firings, grants frozen. www.oncologynewscentral.com/article/dost...

Bit different this morning at #RichmondPark :)

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

Holy shit it's still not cute to make fun of evil Nazi shitfucks by implying they are gay, trans, effeminate, women, or that being fat has anything to do with how fucking evil they are THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT

Hey! Follow this account!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

A sign that Spring is on its way - a few of the male Common Grackles have arrived.

@david-mack.bsky.social This is just soooooo beautiful. I love how the Klimt-style background feels like an abstract take on Daredevil’s radar sense too. Can’t wait to receive my giclee. 🙏😈🙏

My latest piece for @teenvogue.com delves into the horrific story of popular skincare ingredient Retin-A. Before Retin-A was approved by the FDA in 1971, it had been tested on hundreds of incarcerated Black people in Philadelphia, without their informed consent. The survivors still bear the scars.

NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.** One of the cut-off programs in Syria couldn’t afford security and was robbed by masked men. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Tertulia is NOT a good alternative to Amazon. They steal the recommendations of others (I’m not going to use the euphemism “scrape”) and sell against them—even bookstores! If you write about books online, Tertulia is most likely using your words to sell books

for those who love mass market paperbacks and for those who love low-cost books in easily accessible spaces, this decision from readerlink is going to be one to watch. folks buying mass markets at grocery stores likely don't have many bookish alternatives: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

FOURTH WING pulls from many dragon books that came before it! try— 🐲 DRAGONFLIGHT (the OG, all modern dragon books come from this) 🐲 SKY ON FIRE (fun standalone, romantic subplots) 🐲 FIRE IN THE SKY (dragon shapeshifter romance) 🐲 TO SHAPE A DRAGON'S BREATH (indigenous dragon school fantasy)

"It found there were 197 complaints challenging books in Canadian libraries in 2023 and nearly half were about 2SLGBTQ content. That's compared to roughly 10 per cent in 2019, the study said." When I say "they don’t want us to exist" this is what I mean. Like, "erase all traces of us."

I've seen three different articles on this, because the guy who owns the company that makes this stuff reached out to the press. He's got 400,000 boxes of life-saving goo sitting in a warehouse, and if USAID won't accept it, he's going to have to throw it out.

#FlowerReport 🌸🪻🌷 The crocuses are blooming happily! I think I might have to divide the ones under trees as they are quite small and close together.

An estimated 300,000 children globally are expected to lose access to a nutrient-dense peanut butter that’s specially formulated to treat severe acute malnutrition.
