The Trump administration arrested immigrants-who had no criminal records-and sent them to a gulag where they were tortured and sexually abused

Yet just transferred Ghislaine Maxwell-serving a 20 year sentence for having trafficked hundreds of women with Jeffrey Epstein-to a cushy "Club Fed" prison

Definitely not good. 😟

Republicans just killed public media. CPB is shutting down—silencing 1,500+ PBS & NPR stations that educate kids, warn during disasters, and serve rural & tribal communities.

This isn’t budget cutting—it’s ideological arson.
No Big Bird.
No emergency alerts.
No democracy.
We. Fight. Back.

It is a global issue.

While we’re all talking about that American Eagle ad, Ralph Lauren is running a campaign for its Oak Bluff’s collection—named for the black American cultural enclave on Martha’s Vineyard. RL’s message: Black excellence is as American as apple pie.

I learned a lot from this @malyndahale.bsky.social🙏🏻

This disgusts me to no end. AI is unsustainable, but those under its thrall will do every/anything to push it forward while imagining themselves in some fantasyland on Mars. They bring about their own demise as swiftly as they destroy what little hope may have otherwise remained for this planet.

Totally brilliant.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

Doubt it. Much will change between now and then.

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

Defense Department will stop providing crucial satellite weather data Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

I had a disturbing epiphany last week. I could clearly sense that we are only at the very beginning of the horrors to come via this administration.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Congratulations! You’re the best.

The racism came crawling out of the woodwork and has been increasing in speed and volume ever since.

This rings true to my ears. I was so disappointed when I realized that’s where the U.S. was during the Obama years. Not in the enlightened state I momentarily imagined we were in.

ICYMI: “Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social has filed a bill to ban law enforcement officers in Tennessee, including ICE, from wearing masks while making arrests (and ID themselves) — the “Stop American Gestapo Act” www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

Looking an awful lot like a shithole lately.

Not to mention the numbers of armed agents in full tactical gear.

PHUQ! So much for ’don’t open the door of there’s no warrant’. So utterly disturbing. PHUQ!

Yassss! Go Team 💙

Cheezus!

He looks like a special fellow. 💝

"Sleeping" Native American Crops Could Bolster US Agriculture This “sleeping” agricultural system could become a source of alternative crops and methods in an era of rapid climate change.

Calling Native crops “sleeping” reinforces settler colonial erasure. These plants endure through #Indigenous care and ecological knowledge. This is not dormancy—it’s survivance: living, adapting, and resisting in ongoing relationship with land.

The more uncertain the world feels, the more love matters.

Love that’s steady, wholehearted, and true.
