Joy and gratitude for being picked to be that special girl allowed to cut the life support for hungry children. They should make a Hallmark movie about it.

I've never been to Somalia, but I wrote in The Family about US Christian nationalism's role in devastating it, and I've been blessed by knowing a few fabulous Somali-Americans, some of whom escaped the horrors of US warring on their land. Trump isn't fit to touch the hem of their garments.

Sarah Beckstrom, 20, One of the two members of the National Guard who were shot in Washington DC on Wednesday has died. 20 years old. Christ. May her memory be a blessing.

White male supremacy at its finest

The first woman nominated to lead the Naval Special Warfare command overseeing Navy SEALs had her promotion abruptly canceled — and military sources blame Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's hostility to women in combat roles. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

Not just that, but all budget negotiations are meaningless now since Trump is unencumbered by old notions like "appropriations" or "oversight". We (SSA) have had a budget all year, but we're unable to even buy toilet paper in our offices because purchase cards have a $1 limit. It's a joke.

Democratic Senators: “hmmm.. what can we do to undermine our victories of last week? Voting with Republicans is just the thing”

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

If you see furloughed federal workers, civil servants and contractors, lining up at food banks during the shut down, don’t be too surprised. Many federal workers live paycheck to paycheck - and are far from the “lazy wasteful bureaucrats” the regime wants you to imagine.

Fellow disabled people: if you’re not able to walk, march or stand today for #NoKings, take a few minutes and support this wonderful idea 👇🏼

Have fun tomorrow. #Nokings and #Noviolence www.instagram.com/reel/DP6NgUO...

There was a #Category4Typhoon in #Alaska. "People woke up to their homes floating down the river". It's sad that in 2025, these people didn't proper warning. The people who operate that public service have likely been fired. We need to reign in the historic corruption thats riddled our federal gov

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

If you’re traveling today by plane, as I am, please be kind to TSA agents, civil servants working today without pay.

My dearest wife, It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

This is probably a lot more effective than cancelling your Hulu subscription tho of c you can do both.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Join me in condemning this kind of statement and this kind of hate.

A Black student from Grenada, Trey Reed, was found dead hanging from a tree AG Delta State University in Mississippi. Authorities say "no foul play suspected" but that seems highly doubtful. www.wapt.com/article/delt...

@aoc.bsky.social Any insights as to why the National Weather Service, NASA and some other agencies have now been categorized as part of national intelligence (and terminated union contracts!?

Let’s be serious about what is unfolding & how the Kirk murder is being used. @TimothyDSnyder has good advice “listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception”

Important to listen to this. Insightful

“You will not understand why his murder feels so cataclysmic to so many if you do not first understand what Kirk meant to millions of young Americans and to the movement they joined” scholars-stage.org/bullets-and-...

NEW: The National Guard analyzed its mission and found it is perceived as "leveraging fear, driving a wedge between civilians and the military, and promoting a sense of shame among troops and the military." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Trump administration is using crime and degradation as an excuse to control important transportation hubs. The government controlled the trains in Nazi Germany. They control them in North Korea. And now, they’re wrestling for control of the trains in the United States of America.

Appreciate Dems are trying to oust RFK Jr based on health & safety of Americans. Regime doesn’t care abt our lives. Maybe a more effective tactic: convince Trump that RFK Jr is not loyal to regime. That always works better

This U.S. Fort in Florida held Seminole, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, Comanche, Caddo and Apache families as prisoners of war. Many of the prisoners died. Now signage commemorating that history has been “marked for review” by the Trump administration.

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.

A really excellent article, on imagination over blind optimism and collective preparedness over despair. Flipping from blind optimism to despair feels like two sides of the same coin, but Butler showed us a long time ago that there are other paradigms, even when collapse is a real possibility.

This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid.”

Didn’t take long for today’s murder of children to be categorized as a mental health issue. Shooter’s ability get weapons, crickets. Shooter’s kinship with right wing ideology, crickets.

BREAKING: The Trump administration has initiated the repeal of the Roadless Rule, gutting protections that have safeguarded forests for over 25 years—just to benefit the timber industry through unchecked logging.

www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina... “Our shared commitment to our country, our oaths of office, and our mission of helping people before, during, and after disasters compel us to warn Congress and the American people of the cascading effects of decisions made by the current administration”

Let’s not miss the fact that these “law enforcement” officers carry out their duty with great enthusiasm.

This is a very helpful guide. I believe we’ve reached the stage of the proceedings where it would be a good idea to study this, especially if traveling. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...
