They both look so thin though! Hope they’re doing ok.
ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.
They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.
Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...
Fantastic and inspiring to hear and see about everyone protesting today! I’ve been recovering from surgery, otherwise I’d have been there, but I’ll be ready and raring to go next time!!

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.
If you’re in Wisconsin, vote today for Susan Crawford. There are also two special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th districts. Let’s show Elon our country isn’t for sale.
This is NOT what I had in mind when I voted for the man who pretended to work at McDonald's for a day and then drove around in a dump truck. I thought he would continue doing those things, thereby providing valuable services in my community
Great time to turn things around 🙌
Your annual reminder not to go up to anyone today and say "hey, you've got a little something there on your forehead."
Even with all the bad news, BlueSky is full of people who remind me of the same thing on a daily basis. There are many, many of us. ❤️❤️
Thank so for all of the hard work you do yourself to spread information and hope.
A legal document titled "MEMORANDUM OPINION" from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in the case PFLAG, Inc., et al. v. Donald J. Trump et al. (Civil No. 25-337-BAH). The document discusses the court's ruling on the Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction (ECF 69), outlining the legal standard required for such relief, including likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable harm, balance of equities, and public interest. It references the prior granting of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on February 13, 2025, which enjoined the enforcement of specific Executive Orders prohibiting federal funding for gender-affirming medical care for transgender patients under 19. The document cites relevant case law and procedural background. The page header indicates it is Document 115, filed on March 4, 2025, and is page 1 of 66.
Huge news, a preliminary injunction was just granted in the PFLAG v Trump case enjoining the administration from enforcing the executive order ban on gender affirming care for trans youth.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
History supports not believing a single word out of his mouth—including that.
Honestly, this may be the most *promising* thing I’ve heard in months. THIS is that leopard journalism right there.
I hate that people will suffer, but people are suffering already. At this point it’s about what it takes to get enough people to wake up and say ENOUGH.
Please please please.
Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about
Probably a good time for a reminder that Shakespeare’s “First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” is spoken by villains trying to destabilize society
Sorry, but I did not think Adrien Brody's performance of "I'll be brief" was very good.
Officials at the FAA have directed staff to identify tens of millions of dollars to fund a Starlink deal for upgrading air traffic control communications. Staff has been instructed to find the funds while minimizing documentation and avoiding a paper trail.
I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials

I’m here for it though. Chain yourselves to the sinking ship, you cruel, selfish bigots.
We’re truly the worst.
DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?
