Text above the image reads, "when you hear fascist propaganda and dog-whistling." The image is a angry and defiant looking owl, with their head twisted over a shoulder, as if casting side-eye.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Cory Booker’s anti-Trump speech on Senate floor enters 21st hour – live Democratic senator slams Trump administration’s various policies and is close to the all-time record held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours and 18 minutes)

#CoryBooker is my background #ASMR today. We need more leaders willing to take a stand in these ways. Thank you, sir.

We’ve heard rumors that the traitor tots from DOGE are on CDC campus today firing people on the spot if they don’t have their ID or stepped away without locking their laptop. Kids these days.

Old Activism speaks to those who’ve carried the weight of change, disillusionment, and the heaviness of holding ideals.

She grew ashamed of difference,
And tired of the heights,
The soapbox of sighs and stillness.

Urgent: Illegal Activity Underway

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.

It had been a very long time since a film moved me so deeply and left me in a state of contemplative rage. It's a limited run, so go check it out while you can and educate yourself on the displacement and genocide that continues to happen. #NoOtherLand #FreePalestine #MasaferYatta #BaselAdra

This is what I mean when I say the #climatechange conversation is shortsighted, not #sustainable. Fingers crossed won't stop the changes and increasing catastrophes. We need to stop drinking the corporate Kool-Aid and force investment, accountability, and redesign of what isn't working. #LAfires

Why did fire hydrants run dry across Los Angeles? Critics have erroneously blamed California environmental policies and empty reservoirs for lack of water

I think much of the conversations around #sustainability and #climatechange tend to be far too narrow and short-sighted. Our world is changing, regardless of ideology, and we should be taking a complex adaptive systems approach to how we are thinking about community planning, resource management.

New homelessness data: How does California compare to the rest of the country? Homelessness grew more nationwide last year than in California, but the state still has more than 187,000 people on the street or in shelters.

"Nearly a quarter of all unhoused Americans live in California – as well as 28% of all homeless veterans and 44% of all 'chronically homeless' Americans (people who have a disability and have been homeless for a significant period of time.)" #housing #unhoused #structuralviolence

Let's not forget about the critical state of our housing infrastructure and the fact that California is already home to about a quarter of the unhoused population in the country (CalMatters, 2025). Whose home is being counted? What are the impacts to the most vulnerable? #lafires #housing #unhoused
