In the President Harris timeline, we all have fun plans for the weekend that don’t include hoarding coffee or medicine.
Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.
These are Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division soldiers escorting the Little Rock Nine in 1957. Fort Campbell is erasing *its own* history.
Seems like too many people are talking about the price of eggs being high and too few are talking about how so many people live so close to the edge in the U.S. that an increase of $3.00 is enough to destabilize our country.
@jackiekashian.bsky.social has a podcast called Dorkforest that has very similar vibes.
the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs
A reminder to people that independent bookshops that are coming to here from Twitter are taking a financial risk as that social media outlet is a major factor in marketing and getting sales.
As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit
I got an MMR booster yesterday. It was ouchier than a flu shot, my arm ached a bit last night, but this AM, I feel fine, and no shoulder pain. Hubs is going in this AM. Please get a booster if you are mid 30s+, they did not give Xenennials and older boosters.

People shocked by this statement are likening it to one made by fascist dictators. It's worse: this is the self-justfication used by terrorists everywhere
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.
The wholesale erasure of history in real time.
This seems like learned helplessness.
Here’s some positive H5N1 news for a change: conditional approval for poultry vaccines made by Zoetis for chickens.
Why didn’t we do this sooner? The answer is more complex than you might think.

When we get to write Constitution 2 may I suggest that the amendment abolishing slavery actually abolishes slavery this time?
Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists.
There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*.
And we absolutely can reach them.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭
Watson reminds you to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and take some slow, deep breaths. Take a break from scrolling, and have a glass of water.
You are loved.
You are enough.
You matter.
Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.
Living with disabilities is a masterclass in how to handle gaslighting
You get it from everyone. Doctors, family, friends, bosses, colleagues
A neverending litany of people telling you “it can’t be THAT bad” or “you should just do this”
We are the experts in our bodies. Respect us. Listen to us.
Make your resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask. Clean the air for indoor events. Encourage people to stay home if they’re sick.
Disabled people want to be involved and can bring a ton to the table if you include us.
We live in constant fight or flight. We are uniquely built for resistance.
it’s also just arrogant and shitty. if something is important to me, you don’t get to write off as a distraction.
not your top priority? fine
telling me my concerns are distractions? fuck right off
The party who has shrieked about “medical freedom” and “informed consent” and “HIPAA” for the last 5 years is literally giving away everyone’s protected health information data and payments to a group of unelected freaks who can’t even pass a background check much less get laid
You too, friend! (not sure if you’re using your name here)
