Two people sit on the ground at an outdoor Pride event next to a colorful handwritten sign reading ‘Trans Healthcare / Trans Safety / Trans Joy,’ decorated with flowers. One person has face paint in trans pride colors; a crowd of attendees is visible in the background

The Dharma teaches that denying care is a form of harm. States moving to ban gender‑affirming care for trans adults—despite decades of evidence—threaten dignity and wellbeing. Legislatures must choose compassion. #EngagedBuddhism #TransRights Text SIGN PNNYDU to 50409

From the BBC, half an hour ago:
An Islamic Revolutionary Guard .. said any vessel linked to the US, Israel or their allies will be targeted.

A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day.

Honestly, I have been saying for years that the only thing I could imagine having the MAGA folks quit Trump is very high gas prices. I know it will hurt everyone and I wish it didn't have to happen. But maybe hitting $5+ a gallon is the pain that will turn off his support.

Delete this fake photo. It harms the truth, which is horrible. Posting fake stuff makes the horrible look fake as well.

Call me paranoid, but I don't like when someone who follows thousands never posts anything. I don't want that kind of follower.

Mandela the Storyteller is always around Congo Square in #NOLA. New Orleans history is like no other place in the world. ❤️

Congo square is in the vicinity of a spot which homeless Indians used before the arrival of the French for celebrating their annual corn harvest and was considered sacred ground. The gathering of enslaved African vendors in Congo square originated as early as the late 1740s during Louisiana's French colonial period and continue during the Spanish colonial era as one of the city's public markets. By 1803 Congo square had become famous for the gatherings of enslaved Africans who drummed dance, sang and traded on Sunday afternoons. By 1819, these gatherings numbered as many as 500 to 600 people among the most famous dances were the bambula the kalinda and the Congo. These African cultural expressions gradually developed into Mardi gras Indian traditions, the second line and eventually New Orleans, jazz and rhythm and blues.
