North Carolina lawmakers have voted to remove all college campus voting sites. Specifically at the largest HBCU in the US NC A&T. They now have to walk 30 minutes to their nearest polling place. Students are protesting this - pls share and support. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThx29BJ9/

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

At Powells Books for a @maryrobinettekowal.com and Sam J Miller event. I found a few other books.

Browsing at the bookstore and waiting for a family to move away from the shelf I wanted to look at. So I recommend all of @tkingfisher.com books to them.

Possibly one of my favorite sentences in a story: "That is horrifying and I want to go hone,"I said, although I pronounced it, "Ah, I see." Thank you @tkingfisher.com for What Stalks the Deep!

hero's welcome for the released brad lander here in foley square

This is fascism. It’s time to release Brad Lander. What happened today mirrors the chilling ICE arrests of Ras Baraka and Senator Alex Padilla. It’s deeply troubling, because this is exactly what authoritarianism looks like.

This is not okay. Please call your reps and say you oppose this.

I just discovered this meme and I love it. Happy #PrideMonth to all my #LGBTQIA + friends!

Just so we’re clear, DC is VERY capable of putting on quite the PARADE when it REALLY WANTS to… See!? World PRIDE in DC just LAST WEEK! 🥰🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement: I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings. Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

Is AI a good thing?

If the Executive is breaking laws, not using warrants, throwing civilians and judges in jail cells without due process, the only way to fight that is for the Judicial to throw some law breaking Executives in jail cells. Are the 2 branches equal or not? Are they checks on each other’s power or not?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs less to house people.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

🔥WATCH: Senator Wyden CALLS out Dr. Oz. at his confirmation hearing last week. BRAVO👏👏: Sen. Wyden: Do you believe there should be a nurse in a nursing home 24/7? Dr. Oz: As you know, that's a complicated question Sen. Wyden: No it's not. We need a nurse in a nursing home. NOT too complicated. 🔥

WYDEN: I would like it in writing that you will lock DOGE out of the Social Security databases. BISIGNANO: I don't know what lock DOGE out means. WYDEN: Stop them. It's a simple concept. When you lock someone out you stop them.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites." It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.

You literally cannot tell this incredibly cool part of American history without centering Native American identity. It is an powerful demonstration of how diversity provided tangible military advantages over an enemy committed to White supremacy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

NO KINGS

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

We've had terrible AirBnB experiences, so I'd never use them again in any case, but this solidifies it for me.

With full acknowledgement of how weird and awful it feels to self-promote these days… JoCo Cruise 2026 sails March 21-28 out of San Diego; it’s a fun, welcoming environment filled with music, comedy, creativity, gaming, and happy nerds. And we’re already 75% sold out! jococruise.com

Some wise health advice.

Not even once.

I’m not okay with Nazi uniforms on my television

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev

i know a lot of gov employees are watching my feed at the moment 👇

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

If you don't want to be accused of racism, don't vote for a fucking racist, this isn't exactly rocket science my dudes thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Okay, we can all agree that the world is both a shitshow and a trashfire right now. So can we all therefore agree that there are no more guilty pleasures? There are just pleasures. Things that help us get through, however we need to. Enjoying creative work in any form should not be guilty.

Since taking office a week ago, the "No new wars" president has threatened Canada, Denmark, Greenland, Mexico, and Colombia, approved Israel's use of the 2,000 lb bombs Biden refused, and cut off all other foreign aid. Egg prices up.

Fuck Target, for real.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Anyway, take care of your transgender friends.
