Big protest coming to Stonewall National Monument in just an hour or two. If you are in the area, get down there, be active, show your disapproval of the removal of transgender people from all online websites for the Stonewall National Monument page!

Palestinian Life Expectancy in Gaza cut from 75.5 to 40.6 Years by Israeli Total War: The Lancet

Firing the Joint Chief Chair and replacing him with an under-qualified white man is the definition of unfair preferential hiring practices. It’s why they hate DEI so much, they see it as their invention being used against them

A young boy and girl were killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank overnight.

For those who don't know, @politico.com sold out to the far right German Axel Springer for $1B. Politico is now the pride of MAGA. After appearing on Newsmax this morning, Politico's WH bureau chief hosted an event at CPAC. Another once reliable information source that sold out to the Nazis.

I come from a family with six siblings and three are left handed. The three of us that are not have a text chain just so my little sister can post this regularly.

USPS = elections!

Dutch windmills and a colorful sunrise, it doesn't get better than this #windmill #holland #sunrise #fog #zeldenzomooigezien

The ocean is still oceaning- so that's good

Psst…You want to know about the NASA website that spells out your name in Landsat imagery. 🧪 landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/apps/YourNam...

A mothafuckin' mic drop!

A Montana House committee has advanced a bill to ban mRNA vaccines. Not just the COVID vaccine, mind you -- this is any mRNA vaccine. And not just withhold recommendation -- this is an outright prohibition dailyinterlake.com/news/2025/fe...

MAGA acts like finding fraud in government is some new thing DOGE invented. They aren’t good at it, but experts who were let go were.

Elon Musk wants the financial information of every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country. This isn’t complicated: An unelected billionaire shouldn’t have access to your private IRS records. What do you say, House GOP? www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I honestly can't figure out how they made this decision. Target's biggest hit last year was an Aubrey Hepburn looking bird that was part of the Pride collection. Are they under the impression they have white, cis, straight male customers?

This is all so ludicrous. There really is no floor on stupid.

I am probably on some government lists now but at least I am in good company.

I’m proud to have signed this ad. #SayNoToEthnicCleansing www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Today in the New York Times --communal leadership at its most powerful – prominent figures & trusted voices refusing Trump-Netanyahu with clarity and unusual unity in a loving show of solidarity with Palestinians. #saynotoethniccleansing www.saynotoethniccleansing.org

WSJ sub: “Indian Partition went smoothly enough, right? Will try to remember to check this before publishing.”

Trump/Musk regime has cut funds for the International Rescue Committee- founded by Albert Einstein,providing assistance in 40 countries to refugees and those displaced by war, persecution, or natural disaster. The most vulnerable people will suffer as a result. A good time to donate

The madness of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I love this one. #teamcanon #abstractphotography #adventurephoto

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

“Asked specifically about Trump’s Gaza comments, 64% of voters, including a majority of Democrats (85%) and Independents (63%), oppose the president’s proposal to “take over” and “own” Gaza” Our exclusive on the new Data For Progress poll:

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society). We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it. This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.

@repmaxinewa.bsky.social and I led nearly 200 of our colleagues in demanding the removal of Elon Musk’s operatives from the CFPB. The CFPB was created to protect people from getting scammed. Now, we need to say no to Elon Musk and fight for the little agency that fights for us.

Some cool light rays over Grand Canyon Cape Royale… Funny story about this shot is I ended there by total coincidence. Full story in ALT. #bluesky #photography #nature #art #landscape #light #travel

NEW from @makenakelly.bsky.social: Chief Information Officers of at least three federal agencies have been replaced by Silicon Valley execs, including from Palantir and SpaceX. This could make it easier for DOGE engineers to access sensitive government systems: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Hegseth: "We must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective ... the US does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement."

Big Balls has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired. Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way. Unions are good.

The richest man in the world—who has now installed unqualified loyalists throughout the US government—is getting much of his information from far-right sources who present a world in which “Western Civilization” is in an existential struggle against Black and brown invaders.

"He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more." ~ P. G. Wodehouse
