I don't want a ballroom in The White House. I want healthcare.

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on its test stand on Wednesday, sending a large fireball into the sky. The company had cleared personnel from around the site. wapo.st/4kUmz6G

While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

Yay! One of my favorite pieces of advice!

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

“Scroll less, read more”. Been starting my mornings with 30 min of reading. Just finished Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian. Such a great read! Magic, adventure, gritty, beautiful! Highly recommend!

Judge blocks Trump’s executive order ending federal support for DEI programs A federal judge has blocked a sweeping executive order from President Donald Trump that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾

A perfect example of the justice system working for the American people!

It was incredible!

Thank you for all you do!

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide.

This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

CDC Scientists Ordered to Withdraw Studies That Say ‘LGBT’ or ‘Pregnant People’

Scientists at the CDC were ordered late on Friday to withdraw any pending publications, at any scientific journal, that mention terms such as “transgender,” “immigrant,” “LGBT” or “pregnant people.”

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them.
Celebrate thy diversity.
Love each other.

It’s really a bit too nauseating to watch cabinet confirmation hearings for people who are not at all qualified while also watching “DEI” blamed as “hiring people without qualifications.”

So proud to be on stage with my sister @gracet24.bsky.social as we talk about how important a diverse curriculum is in schools and how we will continue to be courageous teachers during tumultuous times.

Are we great yet?

Good news Friday: I love teaching. It’s the greatest privilege to be able to engage in critical thinking, curiosity, and collaboration while finding ways to take action. Thank you to @umassboston.bsky.social Higher Ed doctoral students who are the best!

I am very much in favor of merit-based hiring and high standards for jobs with life and death implications. Which is why I oppose confirming Pete Hegseth, RFK JR, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel.
