ACLU reports that over 500 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the U.S. Don't allow a vocal, misinformed minority to further hijack our local, state & federal governments and erase years of progress. Find resources to inform and assist at glaad.org. #TDOV

There isn't a single person in the current U.S. regime or any GOP representative who can hold a candle to this gentleman. Young white men need to open their ears and listen to this Vet's calm, eloquent assessment of what we're fighting for. #ReclaimDemocracy #HonorVets #NoKings

PA and Philly are lucky to have eloquent, impassioned Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta. #MarriageEquality

The #ACA was a godsend for me when my employer purged "pre-retirement" senior staff in 2012. I remember how our CEO declined my request for continued inclusion in the company's group health insurance: "Sorry, no, but you can hope that the ACA passes ...". #MedicareForAll #HealthCareIsAHumanRight

People brainwashed to be xenophobic are missing out on so much. I was lucky to enjoy a long career working alongside colleagues of different countries, sexualities & faiths (Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Atheist). What an amazing & enriching life experience! (BTW, Holiday food was amazing!)

Do the parents of the DOGE bros believe they themselves did a great job? As their son grew to adulthood, did the parents say, "Here he is world; we can't wait to see what our son will do!" The level of arrogance, narcissism, misanthropy, and misogyny displayed by these young DOGE bros is staggering.

Running out of descriptors for my anger at the imbecilic acts of the DOGE bros. The U.S. science community works to benefit humankind & advance scientific knowledge. What can these young men do to make up for the damage they caused? Can they ever again be allowed to participate in civil society?

Those in Congress who have supported the ceaseless grift & inhumanity of the current U.S. regime should be required to perform actual community service. For example, spending cold nights in an ER hallway in hospitals that are over capacity, as so many of our seniors are forced to do. #AmericaIsSick

Never a better time to unionize than now! The income inequality & job insecurity under which U.S. families are suffocating is due in no small part to union membership decline. Regardless of employment sector, unionizing is possible. Resources for joining/forming a union are available at aflcio.org.

Stand Up for Science! March 7th Rally!

Been seeing posts warning that it will take decades (if ever) to reinvent social safety nets decimated by the current U.S. regime. Remember that at least a third of long-term un- or underemployed are 55+ with loads of experience to share, and in need of productive outlets for their righteous anger.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

The immediate focus of Senate Minority Leader #Schumer and Minority Whip #Durbin must be defeating the #SAVEAmericaAct - the epitome of voter-suppression legislation (& more ammunition for the regime's war on women). (The only Democrat who voted for the SAVE Act today was Rep. Henry Cuellar, TX-28).

Recently, Minority Leader Jeffries aptly used the phrase, "DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE to human life," in reference to the atrocious activities of DHS/ICE. The current U.S. regime, in all its guises, has demonstrated to the World an UTTER DISREGARD for the value of human life. #UnAmerican #Inhuman

A cautionary tale from the U.S. on #HeritageTreasuresDay. Treasures of great historical value, e.g., The White House, belong to posterity. It's vital to preserve national treasures, preventing the power mad from causing devastation based on their own egomania & vindictiveness. #HeritageTreasures

I found this useful.

Playbook of the current U.S. regime: Control all mainstream media. Sow false flags and conspiracy theories in social media. Lie about everything, both small and large, in order to oppress/control the many and further enrich a cabal of plutocrats. #ReclaimDemocracy #ResistPoliticalRepression

In response to ICE’s execution of Renee Nicole Good & violence against our communities, the 50501 Movement is demanding the immediate abolition of ICE & is joining its partners in the Disappeared in America Coalition to announce ICE OUT For Good, a nationwide mobilization scheduled for 1/10 & 1/11.

Seems an appropriate time for us to get off the fence about hybrid or battery EVs. (Almost half of oil production is for cars, SUVs, and light trucks.) Every individual plays such a small part, but, collectively, our actions (esp. purchasing decisions) have a huge impact. #Chevron #Venezuela #Resist

I would have enjoyed seeing how befittingly Harris-Walz guided the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Now, I dread what degradation the new U.S. administration will subject us to as they commandeer this important celebration #america250 america250.org
