Pogo the dog - a reddish brown and white and now-greying mutt who is very cute - serenely raises his snout to sniff the air. The sunshine illuminates his nose and whiskers. Pink flowers and greenery of the garden fill the background.

Take a moment to collect yourself in nature, like Mr. Pogo here.

We now live in a country where the President can personally threaten a 16-year-old girl in the morning and by the afternoon a Democratic state will agree to target and segregate her from her peers for the crime of being transgender.

"We don't give a fuck. You need to get sober."

Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."

As soon as you start reading history you discover that the concept of national borders is shockingly new. And as soon as you read about authoritarian governments you realize that border walls are in fact cages.

John Waters standing beside a wall with a sign that says: The John Waters Restrooms. All Gender. Not my photo.

In 2000, John Waters donated 372 pieces of his art collection to the Baltimore Museum of Art. They named a rotunda after him in their gallery. He requested an all-gender restroom be named for him instead. #BOTD

This is the throwback that I didn't know I needed to see today. Thank you for the laugh, Miss Lena.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Trump wants the United States to help build more CECOT style facilities to disappear US citizens and immigrants the Trump administration deems criminals or terrorists.

President Bukele and Trump's cabinet have argued that people sent to CECOT cannot be returned to the United States.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Inside ICE Air: Flight Attendants on Deportation Planes Say Disaster Is “Only a Matter of Time” Current and former flight attendants for GlobalX, the private charter airline at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, expressed concern about their inability to treat passengers humanely and t...

“It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” another said.

The flight attendants who spoke with ProPublica believed those lives were not worthless. That, many of them told me, is why they no longer fly for ICE Air. It’s also why they decided to share their stories: tinyurl.com/bdz5dc5f 10/

Oh I just love this piece.

Wow, I just unlocked memories of listening to this on CD over and over again!

Pogo the dog sits expectantly in his bed with one paw forward.

Pogo the dog lays on his bed with legs and plaps crisscrossed at adorable angles.

Pogo the dog leers above me in bed with a judgemental look, attempting to wake me up.

Hell yeah, congrats! I supported and am excited to listen to it upon release. I just started listening to the first one in the series several days ago while re-organizing and taking stock of my go bag. It was a good and cathartic mix of activities. Thank you for all you do!

"why are you being so hard on the Democrats they aren't in power what do you want from them" THIS. I WANT THEM TO DO THIS

I can’t get over how in a weird way this is such an honest and helpful voting guide. This is Gavin Newsom! This is him! Here’s who he is! Do you like this?

"A screenshot of an NBC News article headline. The headline reads: 'Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail.' Below the headline, a subtext states: 'The bill, while unlikely to pass, highlights the increasing extremism of legislation targeting trans people, especially in Texas, in recent years.' The NBC News logo is visible at the top, along with a navigation bar that includes a 'WATCH' button and a user profile icon."

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Hospitals that paused youth gender-affirming care continued controversial intersex surgeries, group says Intersex advocates say that they have been shut out of the conversations about gender and health, even as a recent executive order has far-reaching consequences for intersex kids.

Some health centers that halted gender affirming care, kept doing nonconsensual surgeries on intersex kids to make them gender-conforming, even though the UN has condemned them

It does not matter whether you think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. They are, but that's not the point

If you stand by while the DHS executes a warrantless arrest of a green card holder for his political beliefs, you're giving them a permission slip to arrest anyone who opposes them

So now they are arresting people accused of no crimes who are lawful residents of the United States.

Wow.

Trump administration cuts $400 million in federal funding to Columbia <i>This is a developing story. Check back for updates.</i>

Columbia called the cops on students— *like trump wanted*— & this is how Trump responds.

One should never comply with evil, but if even your complicity with evil will not save you— & it will not— then why comply?

Do not comply; not in advance, not at all. Fight for the right thing, no matter what.

people nationwide need to study what's happening in Montana to protect trans kids and their families

This is what the media does. They'll cover something that endorses a wholesale stripping of all rights for trans people but then report it as being only about sports. It's working to obfuscate what is being done to us by our government and our leaders.

📣 The case to support Annie Jump Vicente (she/her) of West Hollywood, CA.

A lead organizer for @transrescueaction.bsky.social, a non profit that relocates trans refugees from Red states to SoCal, was arrested after being hate crimed outside her home in West Hollywood, CA three days ago.
