My Conversation with Heather Cox Richardson On the urgent need to defend democracy, rebuild a government that works for more Americans, and find historical context for the challenges we face today.

Amazing conversation between two thoughtful, wise, admirable people.

Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Trump has cut a deal with the family of Mexican drug lord El Chapo that will allow the family to live in the US. Nothing to see here, right? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ‘‡

Twitch streamer Hasan Piker detained at the border and questioned for hours over politics "They straight up tried to get something out of me that I think they could use to basically detain me permanently"

β€œI think they [detained me] because they know who the fuck I am and they wanted to put the fear of god into me, not knowing that I'm a stubborn piece of shit and that's not going to work at all."

No one should be detained for their political speech.

Amid β€˜DEI’ purge, Pentagon removes webpage on Iwo Jima flag-raiser Pages celebrating Navajo code talkers and other minority service members were also erased.

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War.

These Words Are Disappearing in the New Trump Administration (Gift Article) Federal agencies have issued guidance to employees on hundreds of terms to limit or avoid using. An analysis of government websites shows many of the same words being removed.

Trying to censor ideas never works.

NEW: The Department of Justice says it will no longer fight to protect the right of pregnant people to emergency abortion care.

While a judge has temporarily blocked Idaho’s ban on such care, patients’ lives could still be at risk because of the Trump administration's actions.

Vengeful, brutally cruel ! Trump cut off aid to Ukraine. Says Zelensky isnt grateful enough & wants to pressure him to take the deal on Trump/Putins terms- give up 50% of valuable minerals. Get nothing in return. Zelensky needs & deserves guarantee that Putin will leave & not attack again.
