Every time you hear the chant "Sí se puede," that's because of Dolores Huerta. She's devoted her life to the advancement of farm workers' rights and civil rights for everyone. Let's tell Congress to make Dolores Huerta's birthday, April 10th, a federally recognized holiday.

Standing on my feet all day. Thought I'd take advantage of the abundant harvest our gardens have given us and make some pickling and some strawberry jam while I worked out some work logisitics in my head. Still working my way through chopping one paukena (pumpkin). Having a coffee break like...

Oooh. The regular chill in the air in the mornings now mean I put a sweater on first thing. Autumn is well on it's way in Aotearoa.

I had assumed that the harm from DOGE cuts would fall hardest on non white men but this is astonishing. Read the rest for profiles of hardworking women who just wanted to help the public, and who were hastily fired by presumably a white adolescent empowered by Musk/DJT.

The US federal government is secretly sending every pregnant child in federal immigration custody to a single facility in San Benito, Texas, a state where abortion is banned. Some victims are 13 years old, rape survivors. #OpDeathEaters #ICE spookyconnections.com/2026/03/17/c...

“For Orbán in Hungary, it took about four years, for Vučić in Serbia, it took eight years, and for Erdoğan in Turkey and Modi in India, it took about 10 years to accomplish the suppression of democratic institutions that Trump has achieved in only one year,” Lindberg says." American exceptionalism!

HAPPENING NOW: Packed house for Lamberth’s push to double @GovBillLee’s private school voucher coupons to $300 MILLION (almost entirely for kids already in private schools) He says we should always want data, but refuses to track who gets these 🤔

Black as! Not as dark as my nephew Toiora, but almost as dark as I can get. Pic doesn't do my skin justice! Boy, I'm sore today. Ura fitness dance class and and that hike with all the swimming I've been doing have really made me remember which muscles I'm not using

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Incredibly sad but completely predictable. #AlaskaSky #Language #Alaska

Discovered wild grape vaiora. If you're old enough and from the right place in the US to remember grape nehi . Same same.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Anyone that knows me well, knows I was in heaven today. ♡ #manu, #yaqulget, #birds, #ConnectingToLand

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

This desperately needs to be done in the United States!

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

As many as 5,000 additional U.S. Marines are reportedly heading for the Middle East.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

This is the cloud of oil currently hovering over Tehran, released when the US bombed the city's oil depots. A stew of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds is raining down into the city right now. 1/2

Oh my, please don't threaten us with a good time! #VoteBlueIn2026

It's easy to think of Boomer men as the guardians of "tradition." Yet surveys show GenZ men have more "traditional" ideas about gender roles. 59% of GenZ men, for ex, say men are expected to do too much to support gender equality, compared to 45% of Boomer men. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

As the Supreme Court is about to gut the Voting Rights Act maybe we should remember that 18 states have never, ever, sent a Black person to Congress. Ever. history.house.gov/Exhibitions-...

As seen on another platform: "Replacing Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullen is like replacing syphilis with aids."

Good breakdown
