On Juneteenth and forever… Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched. (National Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama)

Why do you think he chose today to say this? When people ask, "Name one racist thing Trump has ever done" show them this.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

💯

Once again, I recommend Justice Sotomayor’s powerful dissent, which she read from the bench. (The SCOTUS equivalent of screaming.) It’s all straightforward and accessible. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the news of emancipation finally reaching America's last enslaved people, and we recommit to fighting to deliver the true promise of America for all, even against right-wing backlash.

One thing I am seeing misreported in the media today about the Skrmetti ruling is a claim that the supreme court ruled this is "about age, not transgender status." SCOTUS also ruled this is about "diagnosis, not transgender status" Bans targeting adults are likely legal under this ruling.

The Supreme Court majority wants us to believe that the Equal Protection Clause does not apply equally to all people.

Experts have said the injectable drug could help bring an end to HIV transmission.

The Supreme Court’s decision is an affront to equal protection and parental control over medical decision-making. Transgender young people and their families shouldn't have to fight to make the most personal medical decisions in consultation with their doctors.

Lots of new followers in the last day. Welcome. I hope you find value here. This account serves as: 📔 a daily diary of sorts, for me 🌲 a rallying point, for others who care for the Forest Service 📰 a log of USFS news ☎️ a call to action 🗣️ a message If I ever ask for money, I’m hacked. #AltGov

Hey there! I just wanted to share about a GoFundMe for Adriana's family during this really tough time. Every contribution can make a big difference for her loved ones, so if you can, please consider donating or sharing the link below. Thank you! gofund.me/f61fd9f4

New data show COVID-19 triggers spike in new diabetes cases. "A large cohort study in California state prisons found that COVID-19 infection modestly but significantly increases the risk of developing new-onset diabetes." www.news-medical.net/news/2025061...

Immigration judges are alarmed by ICE grabbing immigrants at courthouses. By the way, immigrants can request to appear in court via Zoom. All immigration attorneys should request this. Stop allowing immigrants to be grabbed at courthouses #ImmigrationLaw m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWx9...

5 months ago NOBODY would think these people are law enforcement officers. Now we are supposed to watch them drag children away and act like all is normal? I can’t do that and if you can, I don’t want to have anything to do with you.

Transgender people deserve to dictate our own lives and futures. No court decision can change who we know we are.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

Today the Supreme Court chose to abandon trans children in America. Upholding the Tennessee ban on medical care for trans kids is heartless. This is a sad day, but know I will never stop fighting to protect trans children everywhere. @joshhelfgott.bsky.social

Hide your kids! Hide your couch! JD Vance is on Bluesky!

After years of seeing the faded plastic band on this puffin and being unable to re-sight it, we finally re-captured it and replaced its bands. This bird was first banded as chick in 1996 making it 29 years old (!) and among the oldest in our records. 🦑🪶🧪

NEW: ProPublica has sued the FDA, accusing the agency of withholding information about the safety and availability of generic drugs critical to millions of Americans.

The government should not be able to tell you who you are. It’s not their business.

The creepy black masked ,cruel terrorists ,that continue brutalizing our fellow human beings in LA and across America ,are the evil hooded KKK of our time

So true! 🎯

You want to talk about government efficiency? Every $1 spent on childhood immunizations in the US returns a savings of $11, thanks to preventing illnesses, and saving millions of lives.

a nation on edge holds its breath as the former host of celebrity apprentice huddles with his advisors, the wrestlemania ceo and the former co-host of fox & friends weekends

Christian Nationalists hung their flag over our nation. Are we just going to take this?

I am seldom at a loss for words, but the juxtaposition of Mike Lee mocking the murders and attempted murders of the Hortmans and the Hoffmans, then asking for prayers for Kristi Noem is breathtaking and defies description in any language.

Agreed! And, even more than being hard working (which they certainly are) they are human beings first. Before we talk economics or how this impacts assholes, let’s remember these people are being hunted like animals in the fields in which they work for an egregiously low wage.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Yes!

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

This is your reminder that Adriana Smith is still on life support against her family’s wishes even though she is dead, because, in Georgia, women are incubators.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

“Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.” Yesterday, you were the stars, your compassion, your courage, your pride in standing up for what’s right lit up the darkness. This is the America we believe in. 💚✊

Amber Hunt is brilliant and insightful and funny, and an outstanding story teller as she provides excellent research and reporting! I am excited to hear her new material. This case is heartbreaking. Please, if you haven't yet, listen!! #Accused #CrimesofTheCenturies #WhatIfTheyreWrong

Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now! They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

Yes!! Shout out to my family in Jackson TN!!

Proud of Annapolis, MD for showing up and #ChesapeakeIndivisible for making it happen!

I love ASL translators. They put their whole BEING into what they do. They should make it an Olympic Sport. I would watch every minute.

This movement is fired up, dedicated, well-informed of our rights, and committed to keeping each other and our communities safe. We’re in this together.

Yes. This!

A real President would be in Minnesota right now.

We stand with you, Minnesota. Our hearts go out to the families of Speaker Melissa Hortman and State Sen. John Hoffman. 💔
