I think it's important to put this is a large framework of understanding. Democracy, equal treatment under law, accessible education, a merit-based economy, prosperity, all produced a Black president and lots of empowered women -- and elite America said enough. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

It's June, which means it's time for my birthday fundraiser for our local animal shelter! 🎁 Will you consider donating if you can? No amount is too small! 🥳 givebutter.com/mollys-birth...

Today (and every day) is a great day to live your life as your true, authentic self. I’m wishing everyone a happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

congrats to jared polis once again

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

Hegseth doesn't believe in a meritocracy, he believes that women and Black people are fundamentally unable to reach the same heights as white men.

Beautiful gray tuxie kitten update, because it made my life better today.

LOVE IS LOVE

Really great, comprehensive look at how the Trump administration, directed by Stephen Miller, is trying to shut immigrants out of every aspect of American life www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

The entire point of all this fascist bullshit is to make you quit fighting. Happy Pride, motherfuckers. Fly that freak flag high.

TRUMP'S WAR IS STILL GOING & STILL ILLEGAL CONGRESS GOP WANT TO INTEGRATE USA & ISR MILITARY, WHICH IS THE WORST IDEA SINCE FYRE FESTIVAL ONLY FOR PPL W/ GUNS & MISSILES PENTAGON WANTS BATTLEFIELD AI. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG. EPSTEIN TAX THE RICH BONUS ROUND: PROTECT ENDANGERED SPECIES MFS

"He's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he's gone" is a very good line of attack against Trump.

Re: Sally Hemings. "That Jefferson managed to evade the scrutiny of white Americans for nearly two centuries tells us a great deal about the power of enslavers to bend reality to their will." (p. 100) Really enjoying this book. #booksky

I volunteered to act as Kitten Transporter for @crits4cats.org today, but it looks like we actually might be transporting this kitten home with us. She's so perfect.

PSA to animal accounts: if you want to acknowledge Pride please make it clear you didn’t cross the rainbow bridge

Concur.

Check me out, I was on the telly al fresco chatting all things ALL HAIL CHAOS with Ireland AM, and the power of escaping from a dark time into fantasy. If you’re in prison, why not escape? (think I stole this wisdom from @pennyvixen.bsky.social) #booksky

Same!

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

TRUMP WANTS TO HEADLINE AMERICA 250 ... BUT CAN'T SEEM END THE WAR IN IRAN MEANWHILE, HEGSETH HAS MURDERED 200 PEOPLE IN "DRUG BOATS" EPSTEIN IS STILL WANDERING AROUND CLANKING HIS CHAINS & EVERYBODY IS ROLLING BACK ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS THAT KEEP US ALIVE AMERICA. *DEFINITELY* GREAT AGAIN.

Some of our longest residents STILL need homes. All of these cats are so wonderful but are shy & sensitive, so they don’t do well in a busy adoption center. They just need people to go a little slower & give them lots of positive encouragement to show you their hearts ❤️ Elkton, MD bit.ly/4cOmi21

Head Start centers like this one in Wood County have faced chaos and uncertainty under this Administration. I saw firsthand the important work they’re doing to put affordable childcare in reach for Wisconsin families.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran has doubled fuel costs for family farms like this one. We should be supporting Wisconsin farmers who keep our families fed, not jacking up their costs. www.news8000.com/news/politic...

This Vought policy is an attempt to choke out American higher education. America's fascists view its institutions of higher ed—and the people who staff them—as existential enemies of the purified nation

This is today!

Family farms like Hamburg Hills Farm in Stoddard use hundreds of gallons of fuel per day to keep our families nourished, but they are being hit hard by rising fuel costs. We need to give our farmers relief and end this war now.

Wisconsin is the cranberry capital of the world because of businesses like Wetherby Cranberry Marsh in Warrens. I toured the marsh and heard from the Wisconsinites who are carrying on our state's proud legacy.

one might ask why a free speech org is scrutinizing the small dollar political donations of private citizens

Honestly, this is good because it removes any plausible deniability about the type of people Trump put in charge of his domestic paramilitary operations

This whole cancel thing is giving me such a laugh

The first comment on Boykin's post is a gift link to the NYT article.

Being "non-political" is a VERY political choice. It comes from a place of privilege; only those who benefit from the system can afford to be "innocent" about how the system works. & that "innocence" depends on ignoring the injustice & oppression suffered by those who don't share your privilege.

Did you know we donate AUD $1 for every PS5 physical edition sold? With your help, we donated AUD$810 to our local pet shelter. The funds are going to the Lost Dogs (and Cats) Home located in Melbourne, Australia. Physical editions of Copycat can be purchased from @tesuragames.bsky.social.

The hazards of wearing baggie pants in the kitten room.

impartial scientific research is the enemy of despotism and so naturally vought wants to destroy it

the clear takeaway here is that the administration wants to unlawfully seize the smithsonian and make it a temple for white supremacist “history” www.nytimes.com/2026/05/28/a...

a VRA map that recognizes discrete and compact communities and creates districts accordingly? illegal race discrimination. packing every black person they can find i to a single district crossing the whole state? colorblindness and equal protection thank you sam alito

Thank you!!

Kittens are everywhere and we can’t help them without foster homes to get them safe and socialized and ready for adoption. If you’re in the Newark, DE/Northeastern MD area and you want to be a loving temporary stop for some kittens (or adult cats!) who need a little TLC, DM us!

ah the Peace President

When our truckers feel the squeeze, everyone does. Trucking companies are having to pay more at the pump, thanks to the president’s illegal war, and it’s all of us who are paying the price.
