As an xennial who works with people, particularly kids, from not just all over the US, but the world as well, I just got a Measles booster. Better safe than sorry since I had no proof of ever getting the second dose. Science matters, vaccines matter! 🧪🔬💉

There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

Carter: "I say to you … that the time for racial discrimination is over…” Stephens: “its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery-subordination to the superior race-is his natural and normal condition.” Should be an easy choice in 2025!

Really important that Americans understand what the Administration is trying to do despite how popular the National Parks are and how sacred we view these sites all across the country.

Our neighbors see the inherent danger of the situation in which we currently find ourselves - why can’t so many of us see it ourselves???

These people have no decency. Trying to resurrect the Lost Cause by playing silly games is truly depraved. The renaming to Ft Moore was inspired - particularly since it honored the military family - and not just one man. But I guess that was the point. Apologies to the Moores - you deserve better!

From a New Zealand newspaper in 1912! Climate science, and change, are, in fact, very real! (Fact checks available in the comments of the original post)

Americans must stand with Ukraine! Thinking Russia’s invasion of Ukraine doesn’t matter is like thinking that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, or the invasion of Poland in 1939, didn’t matter. Take it from a sailor and historian, oceans are neither particularly wide nor safe.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

They fired an eminently qualified 4-Star General for the crime of being… (checks notes) black. It is very clear what they are doing. “DEIA” gave qualified, often overqualified, individuals who are NOT white men, an opportunity for a seat at the table from which they were traditionally excluded.

They fired an eminently qualified Admiral for the crime of being… (checks notes) a woman. It is very clear what they are doing. “DEIA” gave qualified, perhaps even overqualified, individuals who are not white men, an opportunity for a seat at the table from which they were traditionally excluded.

Proud of Maine! Proud of Governor Mills! The state motto, DIRIGO means “I lead” - and that is exactly what Governor Mills is doing in the face of unprecedented tyranny!

This is unbelievably sad… Frederick Douglas was one of the greatest Americans in history - and the fact that his memory is being treated with such disrespect is an affront to this history we all share.

Maine is small but mighty - our motto: DIRIGO - means “I lead” and that is exactly what Governor Mills is doing here! There’s a vast ocean of difference between dictators and leaders - they are absolutely not the same!

Absolutely thrilled to see that my local grocery store is #1 on this list! And my backups are all on the good list as well! I’m glad I placed my order this morning! 🛒

Another example of the personal toll that the National Park Service layoffs are taking on the incredible staff that protect and interpret our nation's most cherished natural and historical resources. The budget for the NPS is less than one-fifteenth of one percent of the total federal budget.

This is beyond absurd. Shame on all of these people. Frederick Douglass is, without a doubt, one of the most important figures in 19th century American history. What a pathetic display of pro-segregationist, anti- American behavior. Disgusting!

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

🦬 Hearing reports that the U.S. Forest Service is verbally delegating authority to fire probationary employees. Employees in other agencies received a termination letter outside their chain of command. DOI is up next. We have yet to see how our termination notices will arrive, but...

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous. I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them. 🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:
