From fighting the Trump administration in court to defending gender-affirming care at HHS, my focus has been on leveraging the law to protect trans people and especially youth. As Governor, I will stand firm to secure California's status as a sanctuary state for trans youth and their families.

Teams I'm rooting for in the World Cup: Haiti Colombia Senegal

Seems the pro-ICE rally all parked together and have among them a giant flag depicting the images of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and the phrase “America was Pretti Good,” apparently unaware said phrase honors the memory of both American citizens killed by DHS.

ICYMI 🐦‍⬛ It's that time of year! Crow fledglings are huge and easily mistaken for adults. They're hilariously clumsy and oblivious. Please reach out to a bird rehabber before accidentally kidnapping any perfectly healthy crow kids. 🖤

"Dueling protests face off at New Jersey ICE detention center over detainee conditions: Supporters of immigrant detainees gathered outside Delaney Hall in Newark opposite pro-ICE demonstrators as the governor sought to avoid escalation."

“Like doctors, therapists across the country are adopting AI tools for notetaking and generating transcripts. AI companies offering these services frame it as a way of cutting down on the drudgery of paperwork and other administrative tasks…”

“After the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the fallout was immediate. The ruling, which eviscerated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, gave the greenlight for blatant racial discrimination in voting.” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/call...

I.C.E. maintains a strict dress code for people seeking to visit their loved ones caged at Delaney Hall. It’s clear the strict rule is useful pretext to deny visitors entry. #ICE #DHS

Dude isn’t a red flag. He’s a red garment factory. www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

I refuse to get used to this. That all Republican elected officials have done so should never, ever be forgotten or forgiven. At the very least, they must never be allowed to opine about decorum in any context again.

I’m here for the her in yr heresies.

My son is having a relaxing Caturday

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

After a long 6 month period of being too busy to sketch, I picked up sketching with fountain pens again! #cat #art #drawing #sketchbook #InkArt #catart #caturday

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This is WHY so many international students came to U.S. universities. Our scientific research infrastructure was the best *in the world*. And it's being deliberately destroyed and we will *never* get that back.

Civil rights groups have filed a lawsuit over alleged human rights abuses at the United States' largest immigration detention center in El Paso, Texas, where three people have died in the nine months since it opened.

take this giant pen!! you'll need it! #illustration

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

I have sat face to face with detainees inside Delaney—high schoolers, elderly folks, a pregnant woman, people detained while waiting for court hearings. They told us the horrible conditions they face: lack of medical care, moldy food. Delaney Hall needs to be shut down.

In their third open letter, Delaney strikers thanked community members for their support and asked them to keep fighting for justice for everyone unjustly detained at the GEO Group facility. “We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going.”

Dying over the guy who stood next to Zuck's yacht and painted it in flames.

Timeline cleanse: Baby tapir getting scritches for their itches. If you want to scritch your very own tapir & you live outside of Central or South America or SE Asia, you'll need to visit a zoo. But these little guys are (evolutionarily) from around here, in North America. Let's talk about it.

Now, no worries, plenty of great acts are stepping up to replace those finking out on Trump’s Great American State Fair…

More great news.

Never forget that Andy Kim was on his hands and knees helping clean up the capitol rotunda after the Jan6th insurrection. He's one of the good guys.

Remember when Bernie Sanders unveiled his plan for free college for all Americans, and everyone said we can't afford it? We just spent more than that amount on Trump's war in Iran.

nothing to see here, just right wing streamers being protected by feds moments after those feds were shooting less-lethal munitions at protesters.

Fascinating, and oddly beautiful, story of how an Ithaca cemetery was/is home to a colony of some 5.5 million subterranean bees: but also a sign of how animals have needed to adapt to human presence and action that threatens their own survival. www.wired.com/story/millio...
