I’m learning that a lot of things about me that I thought were just quirky little goofs are actually debilitating symptoms of mental illness

There's something really weirdly surreal about watching @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social talk about AI on his special this week and having it cut to a random commercial in the middle of it that's specifically for some company and how they are using AI

ICE agents in Worcester, Massachusetts arrested a mother outside of her home with her newborn baby and 16 year old daughter.

The 16 year old stood in front of the ICE vehicle holding the baby.

She handed the baby to a neighbor & fled.

Police caught up to her, in a heartbreaking scene.⬇️

Magna Carta dude: "The habeas corpus first originated back in 1215, through the 39th clause of the Magna Carta signed by King John, which provided "No man shall be arrested or imprisoned...except by the lawful judgment of his peers and by the law of the land"

US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it will no longer track the cost of weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

This kid runs circles around the reporter

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Once you disregard the legal rights of immigrants, everything is on the table

Today, they are arresting judges

Tomorrow it could be Democratic members of Congress

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan charged with 2 felonies in ICE case Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan.

"Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

About to write a doctoral thesis on the century of American politics that took place over Easter weekend of 2025

- the president posting falsified evidence to deny due process
- the secretary of defense leaking classified information for a second time
- a congressional rep posting a public meltdown

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

I don't know who is in charge of this but I want there to be a Hardcover/Paperback/Audiobook combo bundle to be normalized for book releases and yes! I believe a complimentary bookmark is also likely in order.....please? 🥺

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

I agree.

In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

The global stock markets have declared an unequivocal vote of no confidence in Donald Trump.

It’s time for Congress to do the same.

This is high art

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

At a local protest today, my friend saw a very poignant sign that read, “Deportation Without Due Process is Human Trafficking."

I kind of want to go
