Kudos to Gov. Janet Mills of Maine for standing up to Trump. He threatened loss of federal funds for her state simply because it allows trans girls to play in sports. She said, “See you in court.” Trump is a weak, shallow, callous leader who wants desperately to be a despot. #BullyPolPot

Do not get a pet if you cannot keep it for the entire duration of it's life. Would you give up your kid? Animals have souls, animals feel more than you do. This cat was abandoned and this photo was taken minutes after being adopted. #AdoptdontShop

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

There is nothing cooler than preventing a democracy from turning into a dictatorship

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.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

we had a little worry that adjusting to being indoors would be hard for him, as he's been a stray most of his life, but i'm thinking that won't be a problem considering he looked outside briefly and then did this for 10 full minutes instead

This hits hard.

Just like we shouldn’t be firing FAA employees when commercial airliners are flipping upside down.

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

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

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

Why did Hegseth just fire every top military branch lawyer? What did they refuse to sign off on? A Pulitzer awaits the reporters and outlet who can tell the public.

Literacy is activism. Reading is a political act. Books are tools for liberation.

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Wise man…

oh boy -- Rich McCormick bailed on CNN after his ill-fated town hall

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

He nails it.

Is Vladimir Putin calling the shots?

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Here is the ad the Washington Post accepted and then rejected:

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

🚨NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James has won her federal lawsuit against Elon Musk, blocking DOGE from accessing American's private data. REPOST if you stand with James against Elon Musk!

firing for "too much DEI" is plainly firing a woman and a Black man on the presumption only white men can be qualified. this is disgusting biogtry.
