To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

BREAKING: President Trump issued an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education. This will severely hinder the federal government’s ability to meet its legal obligations laid out by Congress to protect students’ civil rights and empower them to achieve their future potential.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Have you given up? Or are you still ready to fight?

Dear Congress, Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️‍🩹 Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛

I wish I could give everyone a book and make it all better.

This is also known as invading Panama.

Here's what I've been hearing lately: Librarians are going to save us. Black women are going to save us. Young people are going to save us. Somebody needs to save us. But if we all do something, no matter how small, we can save each other.

For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States. Vaccines prevent measles. Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

I recommend hating tuberculosis. It has fueled me like no other hate that came before.

Black History doesn't end on February 28th. 🖤🖕🏽✊🏽

Brutal.

Remember, most young doctors like myself have never seen measles outside of textbooks. It’s because measles-containing vaccines work.

If you want to make America Healthy Again, you don’t cut Medicaid or Medicare.

If you have a few moments this week, make a cup of tea, and let John Green @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social brother of the famous Hank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social read a bit of his newest book. youtu.be/CCbDdk8Wz-8

I’m going on record: Life first happened when an RNA fucked a metabolism.

It bothers me so much that someone died from measles last night due to the West Texas outbreak. It’s preventable with vaccination. This should not be happening. A reminder that roughly 1 in 1000 cases are fatal.

Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks! Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks! Measles outbreaks are preventable. Do not normalize measles outbreaks!

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning. That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

If I was the Secretary of Health and Human Services and I heard that a child died from a vaccine preventable illness during an outbreak, I would be sending my condolences to the family and encourage people to get vaccinated. I would not be downplaying what is happening.

My friends I have had tb. It is so hard to get out of your body once in. You must must stop this from happening.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

when you roll over for the fascists in charge to keep your federal funding

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

By attacking DEI programs that are aimed at addressing systemic racism, Trump has made his goals clear: He wants to take us back in time.

i think the car just did that due to it’s Evil Aura

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

for some reason it's the mass firing of national park rangers that has fucked me up the most. what did a fuckin park ranger ever do to you

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

Transgender people deserve to live as our authentic selves, no matter what President Trump says.

Making it more expensive to be poor makes no sense Unless you think about how desperate that makes people and how much easier it is to trap us in exploitable labor positions to line the pockets of the few while the masses suffer. This is why capitalism sucks. It's about power and exploitation.

Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together. ~ Michelle Obama

Hmm this passage feels relevant

Just know that if I don't see posts uplifting Black voices on your page, I'm judging you. 👩🏻‍⚖️ You should be reading books by #Blackauthors year round but ESPECIALLY during #BlackHistoryMonth.

Canada’s new Rural Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural and more remote communities. 14 pilot communities will approve certain employers to hire for jobs that they can’t fill with local workers. More info here:

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Your trauma and triggers does not give you the validation to treat people like crap.

Write the words that will light and spread fire. Be the fire the oligarchy fears.

How do you write when the world is burning? Passionately and compassionately. Onward.

I don't necessarily take any joy in embracing this stereotype of my race, gender, and size, but I feel like I need to make it clear that if I see you wearing a t-shirt with a swastika on it, I am going to punch you.
