"This isn't who we are," says nation whose history books are a bunch of redactions

one thing that is true for everyone reading this: unless something changes dramatically the number of people who agree with you on what basic facts constitute "reality" will shrink every year for the rest of your life

The Right Wants to Exterminate Trans People. Liberals Are Helping. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative movement has accelerated its war against trans people. And too many centrist Democrats have kept up their trans bashing.

Watching some Democrats continue to smear trans people at the very moment the right is trying to exterminate them is one of the most shameful things I can remember witnessing. Wrote about it for @thenation.com today. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

There is a term for people who tell you to abandon your morally & logically sound principles in exchange for mass appeal; enemies.

for people who love to keep a coal plant running against its will they sure hate canaries

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Let me get this straight. I’m supposed to believe the “evidence” from the Utah shooting leaked from the same people who told us the Epstein Files are on my desk and will be released but the Epstein Files don’t exist were never here and they clearly show Epstein didn’t traffic girls to anyone.

Ok…

Watercolor painting with a purple background there are two schnauzer faces on the page, one is white with gold eyes and the other is scruffy grey with dark masking around the eyes

This is the only way I've been able to keep myself sane lately. Please, bluesky, share your photogenic pets so I have something to paint. Furry or not, I would love to see. #dog #pet #art #exotic #watercolor #reptile #bugs #cat

Illinois state senator Karina Villa out in the street warning folks about ICE

RFK Jr. wants to end mental health screenings in schools. Experts say it's a bad idea Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy and Education Secretary Linda McMahon are against schools giving kids standardized questionnaires about their mental well-being. But experts say they are wrong.

So, 'strong families, nutrition and fitness, and hope for the future' is just open eugenics, not even a dogwhistle. Exactly the language used in the late 19th/early 20th century iteration of movement, which used to hold 'family fitness' events promoting, you guessed it, eugenics.

This is why they’re deleting studies

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Thanks, Trump: ICE Just Gassed a Public School Into Submission Portland charter school faced fallout from chemical munitions federal riot cops fired at ICE protesters

and this happened

A watercolor paper is held flat by fingers on the upper right, the page is blurred in a vague rainbow with a grey diamond in the middle, a golden retriever puppy is centered there, looking upward with a pretty rainbow collar

Holding onto hope is hard right now, so help your comrades. We need all of us to make it through.

It's so infuriating.

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die.

There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

One thing you can never say... that you haven't been told.

Step 3: Denaturalizing naturalized immigrants to deport them
Step 4: Denaturalizing birthright citizens to "deport" them
