Trump administration has deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with no meaningful process and against the wishes of her father.

Hands Off! Rally - Denver, CO 4/19/25 Never prouder of these two than when they are adorably weaponizing their white privilege.

As an RPCV who served in The Gambia well before FGM was banned, I am so delighted and proud to see a Gambian WOMAN make Time's 100 Most Influential People list! While DOGE invades Peace Corps offices and Trump works to ban Gambians, RPCVs won't give up. #ThirdGoal #RPCV time.com/collections/...

Calling 866-EFF-MUSK is now my preferred alternative to screaming into the void.

Part of Trump's cognitive test should have included explaining what a tariff is.

It is similar to some christians who tell disabled people that they would be healed if only they let Christ into their hearts. When no healing occurs, they tell us that we obviously don’t have enough faith. Cannot win.

Saw an excellent production of "Radium Girls" tonight. It's about horrible radiation poisoning inflicted on young girls in unsafe working conditions, and how press coverage was key to these girls' families getting money to pay off their medical and funeral expenses. (Continued in comments)

In my devotions this morning, I read in Joshua 7 about how one person's greed caused a whole bunch of other people to die. God wasn't a fan of that guy and their nation was screwed until they dealt with him. I share that for no particular reason. time.com/7275808/trum...

Hey #booksky, I just stumbled on to a fascinating treatise on the history of racism and abuse in the southern fundamentalist Christian church. It happens to be the autobiography of a famous Christian author, but calling it just that doesn't seem to do it justice. bookshop.org/p/books/wher...

At some point, feminism stopped being radical and just became, "hey, what if women are people too?"

this is a very church-kid intrusive thought but the thing circling around in the back of my head 100% of the time is you’re supposed to give the baby to the person who *doesn’t* agree to chop it in half

BREAKING: A jailer called Mingo at the ICE detention center in Aurora broke a trans detainee's fingers in a door and then got his coworkers to cover for him. We stood outside the building and heard that story firsthand just now, as well as the evils of Sergeant Dean. This is a concentration camp.

Tonight in Aurora

Good for her. If you would like to hear more from Amber Ruffin, I HIGHLY recommend her book, "You'll Never Believe What Happened to Lacey". If you want to die laughing, go for the audiobook. Either way, prepare to be awakened to the Black experience in this country. youtu.be/rUlTIeKeTVA?...

I made a comic on how we got here & trump/supporters - collecting things he's said that would seem to have been over the line - and how that never seems to be the case is the real problem... on my site with full alt-text and citations here spinweaveandcut.com/draw-the-line/

Eagerly awaiting the emergence of Alt Peace Corps...

Musk staffers are in the process of seizing control of the Peace Corps’ headquarters.

DOGE is going after Peace Corps now!! #thisispersonal

Friendly reminder that one of the absolute best resources at your local public library is your local librarian. Today, ours helped me better understand how federal funding cuts are impacting various cities around us differently, and how to best optimize library resources in our area. Ask yours!

Took an aerial silks class today, so I'm super sore. But not like, "Cory Booker erasing Strom Thurmond's record" sore... 😏 #theresistance

And with THAT, the racist who could pee in a bucket because there was no C-SPAN is defeated!!! #crying #resist #BlackHistoryIsAmericanHistory #wewillnotgoquietlyintothenight www.npr.org/sections/the...

If Cory Booker needs reinforcements, my kids are pretty sure they could speak on the Senate floor and NEVER get tired... #theyneedednapsliketwodaysago www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

When you want a base camp for tonight's Bernie/AOC Fighting Oligarchy rally, is there a more obvious choice than the carbon POSITIVE (i.e. better than neutral) hotel across the street? Been wanting to try this place for a while, and this feels like a meaningful excuse to do so. #resist #Populus

Anyone else I know IRL headed to see Bernie and AOC today?

T**** publicly mentions Biden, his family, or his administration at least 7 times a day on average, according to a statistical review. #getoverit www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Do you love books but hate tyranny? If you, like me, would like to do a better job of supporting your locally-owned bookstores instead of Amazon, here you go! You can pick a local bookstore you would like to receive some profits, and then the books ship directly to you. refer.bookshop.org/b4646398

FUN FACT: Parenting these days is really just trying to get the most out of life in those brief intervals between having to iron fuse beads.

Trump wants to ban Gambians. FFS. 🙄

Trump negotiated the 2018 USMCA (US, MEXICO & CANADA) deal after getting rid of NAFTA. He said it was the best deal, people didn't think it possible, only he could do it. Last week he said the person responsible for USMCA was an idiot This is the first time I've ever agreed with Donald J Trump❤️

After a dark period of hibernation and death, the tiniest of blooms are beginning to re-emerge. So is the resistance. #resist

Congrats to #DUGymnastics on winning their meet yesterday! In the midst of this sexist, hostile, "take no prisoners" administration, it was refreshing to be surrounded by such excellent sportsmanship by fans and competitors alike. Here the gymnasts are dancing "Cupid Shuffle" with their opponents!

Something good in the world. www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniesot...

Maybe one of the most thoughtful pieces I've read about President Musk: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03...

For today's economic boycott, my only expenditure will be spending this time at a locally-owned, small town coffee shop, where I paid cash, am reading a book by one of my newest heroes, and am staying off of all social media except this one. #resist

Between measles epidemics and no flu shot, women won't need abortions when all the babies are dying anyway. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
