A clarifying moment for democracy The shocking arrest near Boston shows how Trump’s immigration policy has become an assault on freedom.

It seems like every day is getting more horrible than the last in the US. I watched this video multiple times, my brain reeling at what this woman must have felt from the moment a man in a black hoodie and mask accosted her.

Illegal, immoral, and wrong.

This is insane, unethical, illegal, and just plain bad for veterans.

Veterans Administration therapists forced to provide mental health counseling in open cubicles As part of the Trump administration's frenzied push to end remote work arrangements for federal government workers, the Veterans Administration (VA) is forcing therapists to provide mental health coun...

"non-MH [mental health] VA staff around my cubicle can hear my sessions." The therapist said they were "worried about issues of licensure [and] ethics code violations related to confidentiality."

The sheer disrespect shown towards President Zelenskyy today in the Oval Office will be a stain on America for the rest of our lives. Disgusting. President Zelenskyy did right by the Ukrainian people today while the grifter in the Oval Office and his side kick were national embarrassments.

Federal workers are not a drain on the US economy. They are a really important investment.

Raymond's first book is out on Kindle Unlimited! Paperback coming tomorrow! This is my first time editing a full book and it was quite an adventure. The hilarious footnotes make this a fun romp through game development for even the most non-techie's out there.

I love upworthy articles when I'm feeling disillusioned. This ADHD study totally tracks for me as an adult with ADHD. My symptoms are very mild when I am overextended. Times with little stress and commitments are much harder to wade through.

I saw someone post ASMR the other day and really enjoyed it so I filmed some of my own today. Enjoy.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Biology

Conception results in a single cell that does not have gonads or make gametes, obviously.

It's weeks into development before the organs for pelvic anatomy start to be established, &even then, how they'll develop isn't a given. 1/x

I think @aoc.bsky.social said it best today regarding the inauguration.
