This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Billionaires should not exist

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me.

Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.

Military mom here: fire every one of the assholes who endangered the lives of American troops with a Signal chat.

A card reads: "These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration." A long list of words follows, including: biologically female; biologically male; BIPOC; Black; breastfeed + people; clean energy; climate crisis; climate science; commercial sex worker; community diversity; community equity; confirmation bias; cultural competence; cultural differences; cultural heritage; cultural sensitivity; culturally appropriate; culturally responsive; DEI; equity; feminism; genders.

Agencies within the Trump administration have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid, according to a compilation of government documents. These terms appeared in government memos, in official and unofficial agency guidance and in other documents. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

DOGE targets child support database full of income data The U.S. DOGE Service’s attempt to access a federal database with sensitive information has provoked yet another internal disagreement.

“This is private, confidential data including Social Security numbers and earnings of virtually all people in the country...”

"Federal law restricts access 'to authorized persons and... authorized purposes' such as child support enforcement..."

Thou shalt not claim to be improving efficiency when all you do is fire people and then beg them to come back.

War heroes and military firsts are among 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge References to a World War II Medal of Honor recipient, the Enola Gay aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Japan and women and minorites are among the tens of thousands of photos and online posts ma...

The Pentagon has marked 26,000 photos for deletion to purge evidence of diversity.

The photos include the 1st black pilots in WWII, the 1st women to pass infantry training & the plane that dropped the Hiroshima bomb because it’s called the “Enola GAY”.

This is real. We’re living in a horror story.

Supreme Court Ruling Weakens Water Protections, Raising Environmental Concerns The Supreme Court’s latest ruling limits the E.P.A.’s power to enforce water quality laws, raising concerns over rising pollution levels

A reminder for these times.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Civil Rights Groups Sue Trump Administration Over DEI Orders The organizations claimed that the president had exceeded his authority in issuing the orders, and that they intentionally discriminated against Black and transgender people.

Civil rights organizations sued the Trump administration on Wednesday over a series of executive orders targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs and gender discrimination protections.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

If someone treats you badly, it's reflection of their character and not of your value or worth.

Ever since deleting tik tok almost a week ago, I have read almost two books, gained more patience for the things around me, and have stopped feeling ashamed for not having the things my fyp advertised to me.

I went to half priced books and couldn’t find any George Orwell. Hot girls are reading banned books and I am HERE for it!!

Missing the gym while I’m holed up sick this week. As soon as I can breathe normal again it’s go time baby

Bert update:
He is sleeping in the fridge while I recover from whatever this flu is. Jeez - leftover biscuits have sustained me ✨🫠💛

#sourdough #starter #recipes #cold/flu #bertupdate yes I made my own lol

Thou shalt not tolerate fascists. Thou shalt rip them out of thy society by root and stem.

Me too

In these scary times we still need to sustain our bodies (souls too).
These cinnamon rolls did just that for me. The dough is sourdough starter based but folded and rolled like biscuits. Making this recipe perfect for Sunday morning breakfast. (Insert buttery cinnamon smells wafting into your home)

The cold can kick rocks because I want focaccia!!! lol

This is Bert, he is the beloved sourdough starter that I now parent. Recently the cold in the Midwest has kept me from proofing bread( thanks negative degree weather) That being said I’ve made two batches of cinnamon rolls with him and a round of biscuits.
