West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Hands Off! Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on and daring the world to stop them. On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the stre...

Thank you to my friend, Timothy, for sharing this. You got this, Department of Education employees. You got this.

What are the ways you are resisting?

'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts The Trump administration cut a clause from federal contracting rules that had been on the books since the 1960s: Companies are no longer explicitly prohibited from having segregated facilities.

There is so much to pay attention to. But we gotta do it. Pay attention. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Sities Gives Birth to Sunni, Her First Baby It’s a boy! Sities — a very special orphan whose story is interwoven with triumph over the poaching crisis — has given birth to a beautiful baby bull, whom we named Sunni. He is Sities’s first baby, m...

About a decade ago we “adopted” Sities at The Sheldrick Foundation. Her mom likely a victim of poaching. We visited the Nairobi orphanage in 2010 and have adopted elephants since about 2007. Sities just had a baby boy and brought it back to be seen. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/news/updates...

Not enough

And it’s based on a TRUE story!?!?!?

What bullshit.

When we were under this foul/fowl president the first time, I started watching The Repair Shop. I think because everything people brought in got fixed. And there are extraordinary craftspeople repairing them. There was care and repair. I’m so worried right now. Love to anyone who needs it.

It’s horrific. I’m thankful for PBS.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Thank you

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Yup.

My father worked with NOAA throughout his career and after he retired from the Navy. He was the deputy director of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. He worked with NOAA so much that we were sent a letter from them after he died in 1999. I just can’t.

NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Every time I see “bsky.app”, I think “Wow. Maybe Banksy is here.” Appreciate you bluesky and Banksy.

As Trump takes over leadership at Kennedy Center, some protest through dance President Trump and his appointees are now solely in charge of the Kennedy Center. Performers protested by dancing.

I absolutely would have been a part of this if I was in DC. Thank you, artists. And keep protesting. We have the gift of being extraordinarily creative in the ways we reflect behavior/life/humanity back to humans. Keep at it. Keep making them look. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

The Great Resegregation The Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are aimed at reversing the civil-rights movement.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

There’s something happening in this country.
