They tell us there’s no money for #Medicaid

Yet somehow there is money for war

This is not to negate what’s happening to my trans and brown friends currently (and well, since our inception). Things are bad. Yet random bombs falling while the power sword d*cks play war don’t happen here (yet)

I have apparently reached that stage of awareness and menopause to cry when I turn on my running water because I recognize how much privilege I have. Even though nothing is perfect here and we have always been a cruel nation, we still have extreme privilege of geography and basic infrastructure.

Ohhhhh no……

A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.

Colorado state universities also don't pay into social security. That was new to me when I was applying and have bene pondering the pros and cons since.

Just a reminder that Boys Scouts of America (BSA -- yes I know they rebranded I refuse to use the new name) and Girl Scouts of USA (GSUSA) are not at all affiliated and operate completely independently of each other. Also, it's cookie season ;)

So if this deal goes through, one MAGA-allied family will own:

Oracle
TikTok
CBS
Paramount
Warner Brothers
CNN

Trump will have his sticky, ketchup-covered little fingers in every facet of how Americans get their news.

“Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses” "The legislature did not include a grace period." ERIN REED FEB 25, 2026 Below the captions is a photo of the Kansas state capitol at night, a tall domed building in the center with a long wing on the left and right. The center of the building is illuminated brightly with red light.

In 1933 after Nazis came to power in Germany, police began revoking and stopped recognizing and providing passes that permitted trans people to exist in public.

This is so fun! The library is totally student focused and inviting. These kids will never forget working with their librarian on this project. youtu.be/FDaqBy9nBNM

‘Abolish ICE’, ‘Caleb Chilliams’ Among Winners of Annual Snowplow Naming Contest The other winners of the fourth annual contest were Stephen Coldbert, Pope Frío XIV, The Blizzard of Oz, Svencoolie and Caleb Chilliams, Chicago officials announced.

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

Is he in blackface? Or...brown face?

Gonna need a Letterkenny or Shoresy season addressing this

Runners always know the best paths in their hood. Found a new one this afternoon.

Built before this was required right? And we had better public transpo and interurban rail.

'I appreciate you're exploring this part of the country and trying to learn about this complex history, but I also hope you know this image is antagonistic in the family chat. If you'd like to speak off the group chat, I am willing to have a respectful conversation about this problematic pic.'

If you wanted...There are many other ways to support without buying the cookies. During booth sales we have many folks who say no thanks to cookies, but just donate (in those cases it would go directly to that troop).

I don't trust it, but hope I can be proven wrong. I think he will salad bar who needs to be held accountable. Just like so many GOP salad bar the Bible and only choose the things they want to believe in.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Those that say we have a spending problem really just want to bankrupt, litigate and exhaust the people and government to a point of non functioning. That’s the goal. They got elected not to serve, but to destroy from the inside and use the tools and infrastructures that have been built against us.

The legislature's budget process can be arcane and hard to follow, even for veteran stakeholders. Idaho Reports will update this bill tracker dashboard daily for the rest of the session. #idleg

Anaheim is my substitute when I think I want bell peppers and then remember I also never enjoy them like I think I will

I would encourage every Idahoan to visit the Minidoka National historic site. I am still haunted by my trip there, and its lessons only seem to be getting more relevant maps.app.goo.gl/PqJjnWMkXNFA...

Alyssa Liu really just out here teaching us all the importance of taking a break from work, even if it’s the work you love…

And used to work at the library! Love seeing students thriving💚

I just want to point out that’s Doug Wilson speaking at the Pentagon. Doug Wilson wants: the 19th amendment repealed, non-Christian religions outlawed, the death penalty for homosexuality, women barred from working or holding office, blasphemy laws, and one party theocratic rule.

Prison-Style Free Speech Censorship Is Coming for the Rest of Us The outcome of a court case could decide whether the Trump administration can criminalize simply possessing political literature.

"American prisons have never been much for the First Amendment, and now, the Trump administration is exporting prison-style censorship to the general population."
