BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

2026 basically

This is an awesome rule 👏🏽

"Aggressive males causing an extinction vortex." Sounds familiar.

Safer Internet Day is really about small habits Don’t click dodgy links Delete emails that feel off Watch for weird grammar Be wary of surveys Don’t engage with trolls, block them Use antivirus software and keep devices updated Simple stuff, worth remembering #SaferInternetDay

These men are a threat to the long term survival of all life on earth

The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist. #NFLhalftime

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

If France lowers the boom on Elmo I’ll eat nothing but escargot the rest of my days

#OTD in 1995, astronaut Eileen Collins became the first female pilot of a NASA space shuttle. She piloted the Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-63, a mission that included the first-ever rendezvous between a US space shuttle & the Russian space station Mir. #WomenInSTEM #AstronautEnvy 🚀

In 1977 NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft, including a CD with the song Johnny B. Goode, on a mission to study the solar system & beyond. The extraterrestrials who open it will get another CD every month from Columbia House at full price and be hounded for life by intergalactic debt collectors.

Anyone with a heart and soul should agree that children and babies do not belong behind bars. Thousands of kids will carry a lifetime of trauma and PTSD, done in our name, funded by our tax dollars.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed? That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Take me away. #lenticularclouds #clouds #nm

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

The Pleiades star cluster (M45) captured over 25 hours. The blue glow is starlight reflecting off interstellar dust. The surrounding brown structures are the Integrated Flux Nebula, incredibly faint clouds lit by the glow of our entire galaxy. #astrophotography #astronomy #space #m45

Macron and Carney are the leaders the world needs right now.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Dust of snow The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree Has given my heart A change of mood And saved some part Of a day I had rued. 🤍 -Robert Frost #ImageAndVerse #photography #EastCastKin

I'd really like to change "This not who we are" to "this is how we need to stop being who we are."

Hey y’all, I’ve got some news that made my day. My daughter’s home for the holiday weekend and just told me that every one of her professors this semester is a woman. On top of that, they all have PhDs. She said it with the biggest smile. And honestly, so did I.

Let's talk about the midterms. ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started. Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Somewhere in Minnesota, a young girl is hiding in an attic with her family – journaling with hope. May we not disappoint her.

What a photo!

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

For the first time in history, the state of Virginia has a female Governor and right after being sworn in today Governor Abigail Spanberger’s first official act was to end cooperation between ICE-Gestapo and Virginia State Police. More of this. 💙👊👏

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen. Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.” It's so transparent what's going on here.

This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm

Proposed legislation would prohibit book banning in New Mexico public libraries sourcenm.com/2026/01/07/p...

The works of Plato are now being banned at schools in the United States. Tell me again how censorship is a European problem? 🤔

There’s a special kind of grief many of us are feeling tonight. Because it didn’t have to be like this.

The idea that we are in a “post-literate world” makes me so sad. Books are everything.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re getting the shaft. Know the truth.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Nothing about this is okay. The President of the United States is on Fox News right now gabbing about the U.S. attack on Venezuela before addressing the American people. So the new order of information is: Truth Social → Fox News → the public → Congress, maybe?
