There have been several decisions made for democracy today and itā€™s bringing some much needed relief to the front of the line. Ill be honest though Iā€™d love to be a fly on the wall tonight watching at least 2 grown men tantrum & try to blame their attempts to overthrow democracy on the ā€œwoke virusā€!

Taking action increases hope and reduces fear Image: @newhappyco.bsky.social

Whether itā€™s on the website or not, the leading cause of death for children in the US is still guns. Instead of trying to erase it because it ā€œspeaks against the second amendmentā€ maybe consider keeping it up for exactly the same reason!

BREAKING: Judge blocks Trump's ban on transgender troops in the U.S. military #NOH8

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

The world cannot stand by and allow Israel to continue inflicting staggering levels of death and human suffering on Palestinians in Gaza.

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

If you arenā€™t already bombarding the shit out of your state reps and senators by calling them every day to let them know what matters most to you, today is a great day to start. #5calls #democracy #US #useyourvoice 5calls.org

This administration seems to think an educated country is a dangerous one. Well, they are certainly trying to systematically dismantle & discourage (in some cases prohibit) an educated society wherever they can. Make a fight for education - all of our futures depend on it!

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks. Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again. NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Our NC senator didnā€™t bother to show up last night in Greensboro. What about yours?

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they donā€™t have to do that bc ā€œnational security,ā€ YOU can be disappeared.

NEW: Thereā€™s a massive Agent Orange site in Vietnam. USAID was funding a cleanup. Then Trump stopped work. Now the rainy season is about to start, and the runoff could poison hundreds of thousands. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Muskā€™s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

STRESS KILLS. 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.Ā Ā  The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countriesā€”many under authoritarian ruleā€”where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

Yes, the president is using language & behaving in ways that mirror genocidal leaders and history right now! Wake up America! www.lemkininstitute.com/red-flag-ale...

The quality of the reporting on this has been disappointing, to say the least, with only the most basic understanding of what the National Archives does. This is bigger than a little spat with a small agency. bit.ly/3Ex744a follow @everylibrary.bsky.social to stay informed!

ā€œThereā€™s gonna be a big presence in DC, but itā€™s not just DC ā€” I want to see this in rural areas, in suburban areas, in urban areas, in red states, purple states, blue states. Itā€™s going to take all of us.ā€ - @ezralevin.bsky.social Weā€™re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5: handsoff2025.com
