Frog posters inspired by the viral inflatable frog protester who was pepper-sprayed by ICE are popping up across Portland, urging people not to follow unlawful orders.

@catmintstudios.bsky.social Thank you so much Aubry and Michelle. We needed new keychains. We wanted to keep to our purple theme. Everything arrived beautifully and on time. I couldn't be happier supporting another couple that is part of the LGBT community. I hope you are doing well! Be safe.

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

Here’s how this petition could threaten marriage equality in the name of ‘religious freedom.’

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

“It’s not gonna be as bad as everyone is saying.” Baby, they are selling radiation detectors on TikTok shop.

The West are colonizers and always have been and always will be until the colonialist mindset is uprooted. Gaining independence isn’t enough, because colonialism is a disease that stays long after.

Meant to mention this last week, but if you have a young person in your life who’s into history or graphic novels or just good books, buy them George Takei’s “They Called Us Enemy.” My oldest couldn’t put it down.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

Everyday 💙💪🌊

Zohran Mamdani, who recently cross-endorsed with Lander, called for the comptroller’s immediate release. “This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice,” said Mamdani.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

Alaska has issued its first-ever heat advisory — a historic milestone for a state known for its cold climate and glaciers. The advisory, covering Fairbanks and surrounding areas, warns of temperatures soaring into the upper 80s — about 10 to 15 degrees above the June average.

I've watched too many friends work themselves to a literal emotional and/or physical breaking point. At a certain point, it's just self-harm and there's nothing admirable about it.

“Be the reason why the lights flicker when you enter a room.” It’s time for our collective power to manifest in a way that protects our children and our environment. Here’s just one example :-)}

when they DO look cis, you jerks complain you can't tell they're trans when you get all fucking HAWT for them...

There's one key similarity - see if you can guess it what it is....

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Cory Booker, a Black Democrat, just broke the record for longest Senate floor speech — a title previously held by a racist senator who opposed desegregation and voting rights for Black Americans. We love poetic justice!

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college. The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Who wants to see a cat perching precariously on top of a mountainous TBR trolley? #CatsWhereTheyShouldntBe (Some books were indecorously knocked to the floor, no animals were harmed)

This is how you can respond when faced with hate towards the transgender community

In 1931, 17-year-old Jackie Mitchell stunned the sports world by striking out Babe Ruth and an allegedly very pissed off Lou Gehrig back-to-back in an exhibition game. Pitching for the Chattanooga Lookouts, she proved that women could compete with baseball’s best. #womenshistorymonth

Lucille Ball was a trailblazer in entertainment, becoming the first woman to run a major TV studio, Desilu Productions. She greenlit Star Trek, ensuring its place in sci-fi history. Her leadership paved the way for women in Hollywood. #WomensHistoryMonth

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to. #Resist

Jackie Ormes was the first Black woman cartoonist, creating "Torchy Brown" and "Patty-Jo ‘n’ Ginger" in the 1930s-50s. Her comics tackled racism, gender roles, and social justice with style and wit, paving the way for future Black artists. #BlackHistoryMonth

Huh. www.npr.org/2025/02/24/n...

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

Rep. Maxwell Frost faced removal for calling Trump a ‘grifter-in-chief’ — but the facts stand. Trump charged Secret Service rent, forced world leaders to Mar-a-Lago, and billed taxpayers for golf carts. youtube.com/shorts/yeTH0...

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Been making a thing ... #crossstitch #fuckfascism #nokings

I am looking for Gmail alternatives that are not supporting corrupt governments. Does anyone have recommendations?
