I’m late to the game on this one but wow! I had no idea how awful it was at the top of FB.

First they came for the innocent man deported to a Salvadoran gulag on an “administrative error” they falsely claim they’re powerless to reverse, flouting court orders even from the Supreme Court — and I spoke out, because I know how the damn poem ends.

Fantastic

Time to take action

Finally made it to @lookerbooks.bsky.social my weekend is booked! 📖 #booksky

Brian Tyler Cohen, on what the GOP *actually* just voted for. Cutting healthcare to benefit the rich. Again.

He spells it out perfectly.

Statement by authors and illustrators of books in Supreme Court case Mahmoud v. Taylor pen.org/mahmoud-v-ta...

They're "interpreting the guidance to apply to anything that deals with diversity, inclusion or equity, and anything that could be perceived to promote one group over another [...] That would include any books that mention slavery, the civil rights movement or the treatment of Native Americans."

Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is lower than normal

Today is World Anaemia Awareness Day

#Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells is lower than normal.
This means less oxygen than normal is being delivered throughout the body.

An asteroid could hit Earth in 7 years. Here's how astronomers are tracking it Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a football field as they try to determine how likely it is to strike Earth in 20...

The risk of 2024 YR4 hitting earth in 2032 is small at 2.1% & likely to grow smaller as calculations are refined.
The greater danger to life as we know it is already on earth and spells DOG wrong.

The Associated Press says reporter was barred from White House event The wire service said the decision stemmed from a style guidance to continue using the name Gulf of Mexico instead of Gulf of America.

“Barring AP journalists... because of the news agency’s editorial decisions is an affront to the First Amendment and a free press,” said PEN America's Tim Richardson. “It is retribution, plain & simple, & a shameful attempt to bully the press into ideological compliance.” (gift link) wapo.st/4jRK2VQ

I am so glad you stayed 💙💙

Marco Rubio is visiting Panama this weekend to try to annex the Panama Canal.

Panama is currently bracing for an American invasion and is warning there could be mass casualties.

The U.S. is acting like Russia when it invaded Ukraine—and is making the world less safe in the process.

CDC pages relating to LGBTQ+ queer health are being removed from the CDC website. Staff are not involved in this censorship. We will follow up with external resources for our communities.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

It appears that the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) page has been removed from the CDC website.

The SVI is an important database that measures and quantifies the potential negative effects of disasters of human health at the county level.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

Buttigieg on point

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Books were my constant companion growing up. I want to save them all

My mom got a grant for a book vending machine so that students can get free books! She’s been buying books to stock it out of pocket, but she’s also made a wishlist if you’d like to help. She teaches at a Title 1 elementary school, so it would be very appreciated! #booksky #blackbooksky #blacksky

A great cause and an indie bookstore. You know where to find me!
