There is one central, core truth to hold on to:

Most Americans don't actually know most of what's happening. But they still don't approve of the slice they do know about.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

The Democrats ran, among other things, on democracy being under threat in the 2024 election and they were clearly right. They should act like they were right, not that they were wrong because they lost at one particular moment in time. Trump considers them an internal enemy, not a minority party

I'm loving Tiny Bookshop and Hades II so much. Like they're both charming in their ways and I've easily dropped 10+ hours into them in the last four days

Trump set to bail out Argentina, irking some in ‘America First’ camp The Trump administration is set to provide a $20 billion financial lifeline to Argentina, a move that has sparked controversy among some of his supporters.

Trump would rather shut down the government than work with us to protect Americans’ health care.

But of course he’s eager to use $20 billion of taxpayer money to bail out his authoritarian buddy in Argentina.

It's Trump and his cronies first, everyone else, last.

These scripts are GREAT and these calls are EASY and ESSENTIAL. Call your senators and reps today and tell them to vote against ANY bill that contains cuts to trans health care.

Portland isn’t “war ravaged”.

Chicago doesn’t need “saving”.

Tylenol doesn’t cause autism.

People still care about the Epstein files.

Escalators breaking down is not news worthy or an emergency.

Medbeds are not the answer.

Keep resisting fascism. Ignore the distractions. Fight back.

Email to 6th-grade teachers in Leander ISD that reads: Dear 6th Grade ELA Team, I want to share an Important update regarding some of the texts in our book club and whole-class reading collections. In response to new legislation outlined in Senate Bill 12 (89th Legislature), we have conducted a review of titles currently used in secondary ELA instruction. Because SB 12 prohibits specific types of content, several of our resources now require additional review. Effective immediately, please pause the use of the identified texts (linked below) in instruction and assignments until further notice. This step is necessary to ensure our curriculum remains in full compliance with the law. I want to emphasize that these books are not being permanently removed. They are simply on hold while we seek additional guidance from TASB and TEA regarding the implications of SB 12 for instructional resources. Once we receive that guidance, we will provide clear updates about next steps. Additionally, if these books are included in your own personal classroom library, we request that you remove them since personal classroom libraries are considered instructional resources. I know this timing is far from ideal and may present challenges, especially given the thoughtful preparation you have invested in building engaging reading experiences for students. Please know that our commitment to offering students a wide range of meaningful opportunities for choice reading and discussion remains unchanged. Thank you for your flexibility, professionalism, and continued dedication to our students as we navigate this process together. 6th grade ELAR Resources With appreciation,

List of 40 books removed from classes. Includes To Kill a Mockingbird, The House on Mango Street, The Fire Next Time, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and, weirdly, Les Miserables.

I need help getting this CRAZY censorship story out!

Last week, admins in Leander ISD emailed teachers telling them to “pause” use of 40 books relating to “DEI” that had previously been curriculum or choice reading activities.

Included on the list? To Kill a Mockingbird. #bookbans #booksky

ChatGPT worth it to you?

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

If I were an exec reading this, I'd fucking sue Trump into oblivion for the bullying. That fucking crybaby

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally.

Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

We cannot sacrifice trans people. Trans rights are human rights and I'm ashamed of my government's blatant bullying.

“So the major media outlets got so caught up in defending Kimmel, we never did get the Epstein files. Which suits the Republicans and their billionaire owners quite nicely, after all.” #SaidToday

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too!

Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live.

Don't let her see a dime!

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Anyone else thinking that maaaaybe they're pushing this hard because a certain regime leader's health is going to give out any day now and they want their gears in place to silence the "ding dong the dick is dead" that'll happen?????

Raskin to Patel: "In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for accountability and transparency with the Epstein files to being part of the conspiracy and coverup? The answer is simple. You said it yourself -- because of who is on that list."

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support.

I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

1 The click of a keyboard after a long absence of writing.

2 The sip in the middle of a coffee, when everything is mixed right

3 The softness of a floofy blanket

4 The way "my" dog is excited to see me and has to jump up and down

5 the way notebook paper feels after you wrote on it a while ago

Fun fact:

If you threaten to declare an emergency because someone isn't doing what you want, that's not an emergency. It's just a tantrum.
