Gluttony is a feast for the eyes. This colorway blends elements from the six other sins: the royal purples of Pride, the icy blues of Sloth, the fiery reds of Wrath, the golden shimmer of Greed, the poisonous greens of Envy, and the seductive pinks of Lust.

We’re getting into the countdown spirit early with preorders for the 2025 LBYC Countdown Calendar, and this year’s theme is straight from the Pixar multiverse!

$400M still in the budget, no one to spend it. The cruelty is the point.

Our trans and nonbinary siblings have always been here and will continue to remain here.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary agreed to oust the agency's top vaccine official shortly after being quietly sworn in late last week.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Trump pushes myths about "open borders” leading to spikes in fentanyl use. In reality, 80% of fentanyl traffickers at the border are U.S. citizens. Fighting the crisis means tackling demand—treatment, mental health, education. Facts matter. Read the latest fact-check from @joshlevs.bsky.social

Universities have long been bastions for free speech. They must fight back against the Trump administration's crackdown on dissent.

21 State Attorneys General are urging America’s legal community to stand together in defense of the rule of law. We must not falter in our resolve to uphold the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. Our democracy depends on it. oag.ca.gov/news/press-r...

Elemental Cowl - Mosaic Tunisian Crochet pattern by @aklori.bsky.social - yarn by @lolabeanyarnco.com Green Bean DK Tarnished Silver and Diablo. Pattern part of a mosaic collection due out early August.

My Representative.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

Pete Hegseth should resign. Every member of Congress who cares about national security should be calling for it. If he were a Democrat he’d be gone already.

In addition to her 11 hour testimony on Benghazi, 3 committees held hearings on Hillary Clinton’s email servers. I wonder how many hearings will address the latest breach of war plans?

Today for Black History Month, I am highlighting Alma Speed Fox, a civil rights giant from Pittsburgh who dedicated her life to fighting for racial and economic justice. As a longtime leader of the Pittsburgh NAACP, Fox worked tirelessly to end workplace discrimination...

WTF. This is insane. For so many seniors, there would be no money for food, rent, or prescriptions without their Social Security check. Howard Lutnick says if they complain about missing a check, they're a fraudster.

This week, the University of Pittsburgh suspended its campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine in retaliation for peaceful protests that the student group engaged in. So today, ACLU-PA sent a letter asking them to lift the suspension of SJP. Read the letter: www.aclupa.org/sites/defaul...

"The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent." In his first letter since being detained by ICE, activist Mahmoud Khalil details the harrowing ordeal he and his family have experienced in retaliation for protesting in support of Palestine.

powerful institutions are folding to fascism rather than lose money while 80yo grandparents are protesting at the risk of being sent to an El Salvadorian concentration camp

So: Russia flatly rejected one Trump envoy (Kellogg), made the next one (Witkoff) wait for eight hours, rejected the ceasefire, and instructed Trump that his job is to give Russia what it wants. That’s what Trump means by "respect" I guess.

We have no idea who was sent to that nightmare prison in El Salvador.They were denied a hearing. Trump regime ignored aJudge’s order ( binding under the law) The ppl were sent via military plane so - if they had already taken off as claimed, the plane could & should have turned back. Lock him up

❗️🇫🇷French President Macron said that France will continue to supply Mirage 2000-5F fighter to 🇺🇦Ukraine after training Ukrainian pilots.

This is the final step on the road to authoritarian fascism. If the President can rule by decree and cannot be scrutinized or reviewed by the other two branches, then this experiment in democracy is done.

BREAKING: The Trump Administration has declared war on the United States Institute of Peace

My hometown of Waterloo, Iowa canceled its African American Read-In after Trump’s anti-diversity directives. So i got together some writer friends and I’m holding it instead.

He operated Silk Road under the name "Dread Pirate Roberts" He used the US Postal system to ship illicit drugs all over the US and world-wide. He also offered "for hire" services.

And even if you're recently stocked up on masks, you could always donate them to a mask bloc. Maybe oh idk @maskblocpanhandle.bsky.social ? 👀

Because we know it is all about taking public funds for private grifts

Legal counsel representing federal employees is now being targeted by the Trump administration. Law firms are receiving a clear message that retaliation is possible for those advocating on behalf of individuals or groups opposing the administration’s agenda.
