Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Back lit at sunrise, two mute swans fly over a small beach pavilion and palm tree by the sea

Sunday is a #Stunday
Mute swans over the Ryde Esplanade. I was taking a photo of the pavilion and the swans photobombed the second frame. Sometimes you make your own luck!

Aw, last gasp.

The Trump Administration Just Deleted Part of American History. If They Get Away With It, We Could Be Headed to a Very Dark Place. This is far more serious than the loss of a few letters.

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...

Health agencies lose staff members in key areas as Trump firings set in As the dust settles from the first wave of firings at health agencies, here's how many people got cut and the impact of the roles that were lost.

these fuckers can pry my antidepressants and my adhd meds from my cold dead hands

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

Once again, there is no LGBQIA without the T, and forever it shall be. Without Masha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and other Transgender folks like them, Stonewall wouldn't have happened. They've been a core part of the fight for LGBTQIA rights from the start, and we need to stand with them.

Protest at Stonewall tomorrow.

You can’t spell Stonewall without the T.

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

😑

Yes. We know. Anyone with any power able to actually do something about it?

Yikes

😑 that isn’t going to work.

Wow. Okay but still seems like there should be plows in that case.

Does the city…not …have enough plows or wtf is the issue?

Did that road never get plowed? How much more snow is that than what you are used to getting?

Omg Jorts is on here

New Orleans chose ease over safety by deciding to erect barriers that could only withstand a car hitting them at 10 MPH.

Wow. amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Oh, my brain has informed me that it still remembers the song and will be singing it randomly the rest of the night!

My mom says it. but said it more often when older relatives were still around
