Fired because he believes black lives matter. A general should be concerned about all the people they serve. God bless this mighty warrior, taken out of action because of the color of his skin. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-tru...

in case anyone out there is canadian and hasn’t seen this yet begone muskrat 🇨🇦👋 www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

This is the desirable ambivalence of Canadian identity. Fight for it.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Right-wing censors are now "quiet banning" books that they can't removed legally. Librarians in Chicago have been finding books dealing with race, LGBTQ+ issues or Islam hidden under shelves, in trash cans or otherwise "disappeared." www.chicagotribune.com/2025/02/22/l...

So you're basically admitting the military relies on poverty and desperation to fill its ranks? Bold move, Jim. #BlueCrew #BlueCircleFamily🌈🦋 #BluePetPatrol💙🐾 #ProudBlue #Resist #TruthWarriors #antitrump #antimaga

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare. newrepublic.com/post/191740/...

“The CBC shouldn’t ignore Trump’s annexation threats, but as a foundational element of Canadian culture, they have a public responsibility to fight it with extreme prejudice at every opportunity Not normalize the ravings of a madman” Latest @cultmtl #cdnpoli #cdnmedia cultmtl.com/2025/02/cana...

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

Hey everyone, following Sam Nordquist’s passing, someone has sent me a link for his sister raising funds to cover expenses of getting Sam back home. Now it seems legitimate given the organizer is Kayla Nordquist, but if I hear otherwise I will let you know gofund.me/7ac28d8e

can’t stop thinking about 24-year-old Sam Nordquist, feel too scared to share information about what happened to him with the fragile mental health of the trans people around me rn, feel terrified of what we’ll learn when more details come out and what more will come to pass under this admin

I am devastated to hear about Sam Nordquist, what happened to him is absolutely fucking horrendous. We must not forget him. I will not forget amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

If you are poor or less fortunate, the current fascist dictatorship of the United States of America, and it's subordinates want you gone, or submissive. If you have a disability, or elderly, they have no use for you.

Me since birth: I dont like this. This doesn’t seem wise. Who came up with this? Why? And why again? Is this the best we can do? 😂😂😂

Working class Americans have a significantly shorter lifespan than people who are wealthy. Why? Economic stress can have a major impact upon your body, your mind & how long you live. I’d love to hear from you: How has stress affected your heath? outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/E...

For people who do not know this. The GOP Save Act bill has already passed in the House. If it passes in the Senate .There’s 69 million women who will not be able to vote anymore. This is due to voter’s registration names will not match birth certificate names due to name change in marriage.

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

There are a million reasons to call our reps right now, but when I called Padilla's office the staffer I spoke to had no idea that some Deaf federal employees have lost access to ASL interpretation, and that the White House has stopped providing ASL. If you're able, please mention this to your reps!

Trump talks about grabbing countries the exact same way he talked about grabbing women.

Pass this info around, everyone! ⤵️

Did you know the library has more than books? Of course you did. You're smart. You use the library.

I saw another Cyber truck in the wild. So I did the honorable thing and laughed at it.

Silicon Valley be all like "You didn't want to buy our monkey jpgs and conduct meetings with VR headsets, I guess we have no choice but to start WW3"

I don't post much on social media, thought I'd submit something to the Mindwave Fanart Contest though since I love these character designs. #mwfanartcontest #mindwave #pixelart

I tell my reps that I lost my mom and brother to rare cancers and that these kinds of massive cuts to research funding prevent us from making any progress in the fight against cancer. Tell your story. It makes a difference.

Donald would flip his wig if he saw it.

As a librarian, it guts me to see the DoD directive to remove any DEI related books from military school libraries. Imagine explaining to your marginalized service members that books about you aren’t allowed

I'm not volunteering myself because I'm already over capacity, but it would be nice if someone organized a virtual bookish event for readers and authors w with disabilities and chronic illnesses that cannot do in person cons.

As a librarian and a queer one, I’m getting more and more apprehensive about the future of libraries and our funding. #booksky, now is a GREAT time to use your library card, attend programs, and vocally SUPPORT us.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people. It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies. In that sense, the system is working very well. But it is not working for the average American. We need Medicare for All.

Being disabled is like having a full time job where you have to pay other people.

Now more than ever.

I suspect many cis people will read Alyssa's post and think she's exaggerating. She is not. Please, American cis allies, contact your representative and make clear that trans rights are human rights and that they're not negotiable. Trans people need vocal cis support, and they need it NOW.

everything is a garbage fire; you should absolutely buy the little treat at the grocery store
