#WomensHistoryMonth Maria Tallchief, 1925-2013, the first Native American to become a prima ballerina, became one of the most acclaimed ballerinas of the 20th century, #dancing with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo from 1942-47 & the New York City #Ballet from its founding in 1947-65 through 1965 💚

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Palestinian women come forward with allegations of sexual violence by Israeli forces, @kylietcheung.bsky.social writes. While Western media pushes unsubstantiated claims of a campaign of sexual violence led by Hamas, Palestinian survivors are punished for reporting Israeli soldiers for abuse.

You Are Sane If you are terrified, you are SANE. If you are crying, you are SANE. If you are anxious, you are SANE. If you are traumatized, you are SANE. If you are grieving, you are SANE. If you are depressed, you are SANE. What’s happening is INSANE. But YOU ARE SANE. You are sane.

I finally started watching blacklist and it's interesting how some of the episodes parallel things happening now. Like, you can watch the behind the scenes of the political climate. I find it oddly soothing.

Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them! @standupforscience.bsky.social

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

The #EPA is preparing to say that under the science, carbon pollution does not harm the public health and welfare. This is #climate denial of the highest order. Yet another moment of this administration putting polluters over people.

• 32 million BSKY accounts • 2.5k 'followers' of mine • And just 475 reposts of below info And NONE of the Big BSKY #bluecrew 'resisters' (who seem more interested in harvesting gazillions of followers & posting dumbass #AgentOrange memes) have bothered to repost. Fools. The #Resistance is over.

WAKE UP STAND UP AND RISE UP ITS TIME TO TAKE AMERICA BACK

A Slow Deep Panic by AFI is one of my favorite songs on my soundtrack for this year

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I have curbed my coffee intake by quite a lot. I drink maybe one or two cups of coffee a week now, and drink lots of tea and tisanes. That said, I feel like today is a three cup of coffee kind of day

I'm just a receptionist. Not tech support. Don't come at me with your entitled ignorance. I wish people with money had a little more self awareness....or just awareness in general 😑🙄

BREAKING: Donald Trump Personally Made The Decision To Bar The Associated Press. Check it out: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Neighborhood pharmacies are one of the most accessible health care locations in the country, but over the past five years thousands of U.S. pharmacies have closed leaving behind "pharmacy deserts" that impact local communities. (via @us.theconversation.com)

Two years to forty and I'm delighted to say, I will now plan all of the midlife crisis shenanigans to offset a life of crisis. Lol I need a sword, a crossbow, a cloak, and a ball gown. I'm already stocked on audacity As the kids say #yolo

A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to proceed with mass terminations of probationary federal workers. The administration has already dismissed 6,700 employees from the IRS, with plans to lay off an additional 50,000 workers from the Defense Department next.

"Hope springs eternal" Bull**** on toast. The world is on fire My pessimistic little #haiku sums up February.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

New EO (link below) orders HHS to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID (section 2iv). Share widely on all platforms. This is a perfect example of how this administration does not care about Americans. If this is efficiency, then what IS Trump's plan for people with Long COVID?

🚨🚨🚨 PSA- Gov. Braun has banned the distribution of the Imagination Station books in Indiana. For those who do not know, Imagination Station is a program started by Dolly Parton which provides a free book each month to children from 0-5. 1/2

A lot of folks have asked me what they can do to fight back. One way is to support candidates in special elections like this one in New York.

I went through five books in the past week. Have some serious disassociation going on. It could be drugs guys...it could be drugs... #booksky 💙📚

I love a good Venn diagram.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

Know your enemy. *laughs in nerd*

We told @cnn.com that government regulators “don’t get to decide what news the public is interested in hearing about." What's not in the public's interest is FCC commissioners retaliating against journalists the president doesn't like. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Sun is finally out and it's warming up to 21° f and I kind of want to go build a snow fort or maybe just fall into a snow drift backwards #winter #montanaweather ❄️⛅

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

Montana is so hardcore about what is considered a snow day. I could only drive my car halfway down the hill (really it's a suburbanized mountain) to catch city transit and the bus is staying on the roads only by the talent of the driver. It is beautiful out tho #montanawinter #montana #goodmorning

NEWS: The Proud Boys have suffered a major loss in court, DOGE gets access to even more government systems, Articles of Impeachment to be filed, and yet another plane collision, this time in Seattle. Here's your evening rundown. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
