Harriet Jacobs escaped slavery after hiding for 7 years to protect her children. Her book “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl” revealed the struggles of enslaved women, making her a key voice in the abolitionist movement. 150 days until Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

I took my non-waterproof camera out this afternoon to shoot #BeaconHillPark in the rain. You can't see the rain drops here, but trust me... oh boy did I get wet 🌧️🌸😁 #Photography #Landscape #EastCoastKin #Fujifilm #VictoriaBC #CherryBlossoms #Sakura #Stunday

I miss Joe and Jill. 🥲

STAND UP! FIGHT BACK! STAND UP! FIGHT BACK! APRIL 5th NATIONAL PROTEST DAY.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey. Defiantly, ME

Eric Hanson's message: defending parks and public land should be bipartisan. Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202)224-3121 to contact your federal representative (tell them your zip code and they'll connect you). youtu.be/o3krx2p1NrA?...

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

I feel confident in predicting history will judge this decade or so as the absolutely stupidest time in American history. Honestly our kids and grandkids will read about this time and be shocked that adults existed.

Timeline cleanse 🌞

Anna Paulina Luna didn’t want to talk to her constituents. So I did.

#WorldWaterDay the theme this year is Glacier preservation. So post or quote repost a photograph of yours with ice, snow, water…I made a video of birds taking baths--water is important for so many things! youtu.be/Hl9_MRVr2rI #birds #water

We march at dawn

lmao getting fact checked irl

Need a warm, fuzzy mood lift? Read this story!

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

After patiently watching so many others post first of spring flowers, I can now join the celebration! Dwarf iris Arlington MA #flowers #EastCoastKin

Seeing double: it will soon be time to head out and look for this years babies

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Howard Lutnick is a FILTHY billionaire with no business talking about Social Security or the ACA. With Paul Weiss and Columbia U folding to MAGA this week, it’s even more powerful to see AOC and Bernie mobilizing 34k people. Whatever differences we have—set them aside. It’s time to stand with👇👇👇

Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Ron Johnson hasn't been holding town halls. So @indivisible.org Madison held one for him. Friday night. 500+ people. I'm about to ask them to help get out the vote for Susan Crawford.

No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Great piece by PBS.

See ya X…

Maybe the Trump administration should just stop violating the law?

AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Is this the same guy who was complaining about Joe Biden using an autopen and not knowing what he was signing when he was president just a few days ago?

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Here's a nice long exposure from a pier off of cedar key Florida. Taken some years back on a Moody evening as the clouds were drifting through. It's nice in color but makes for an interesting black and white as well! #scape #longexposure #landscape #B&W #landscapephotography

Colorado…

Someone's feeling confident. 🦋 Blue Heron 🐦🪶🐦 #birds #photography #herons

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person. I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

This government is so incompetent. What a waste of resources, and stress for these fine folks. apple.news/A9RrstHS4QDu...

President Trump attacked the Department of Education and conjured up chaos for public servants eligible for loan forgiveness. But loan forgiveness remains intact, and Democrats are fighting to honor eligible public servants' careers and well-being.

💥 BREAKING: Walt Disney Company shareholders voted today 99-1 percent to reject an anti-LGBTQ+ proposal, requesting that the company sever its relationship with the Human Rights Campaign and HRC's Corporate Equality Index. Disney Board recommended shareholders vote against the proposal.
