Every 5 years, the US wants to bomb a country to “save its women,” while stripping away rights from women across the US

As we finish #WomensHistoryMonth, I was pleased to read @hcrichardson.bsky.social about 1 of my heroes: Frances Perkins. She got worker protection laws in NY & became the 1st female cabinet member & architect of The New Deal. The book Becoming Madame Secretary is a fave!

March 25, 2025

On March 25, 1911, Frances Perkins was visiting with a friend who lived near Washington Square in New York City when they heard fire engines and screams.

If you're not outraged or terrified, you're not paying attention to what's happening in front of your own eyes.

I was so busy yesterday I forgot to post about my favorite holiday: #NationalGrammarDay. Thankfully, others did not forget!

Hank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · Mar 4

Are there any other examples of times when reality breaks grammar and we just have to deal with it?

Example: Zero...it's a number so it has to be singular or plural, but since it isn't singular or plural, we just made it plural. "There are zero marbles."

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.

Thank you for coming out on a cold, windy day to help support #abortionrights! Our table almost blew over, but we had a great turn-out. (Even the girl scouts selling cookies came over to support us!) We're thrilled we raised $265 to support the Center for Reproductive Rights.

I wish I believed that anything would bring cult members back. Trump's actions can take their jobs, kick their elderly parents off Medicaid, remove all supports for their disabled kids, deport their cousins, and increase their taxes substantially and they'll still kneel before him. I have no hope.

There's no holding on to a nation when half of its population will believe that we've always been at war with Eurasia as long as Fox and right-wing talk show hosts and armchair cult members are posting that on social media.

Amy Bacharach @amybacharach.bsky.social · Mar 1

I see Trump cultists posting things that are so astounding they're almost laughable. I'm really not sure if the country can ever come back from the kind of mindless regurgitation of utter nonsense we're dealing with on a systemic basis.

I'm always happy to see that some still have some semblance of morality, ethics, and common decency. Not to mention a spine.

Wow. 20+ DOGE staffers just resigned en masse, saying they refuse to use their expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

“We swore to serve the American people... However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

21 federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE slash size of government

Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle ...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

No matter who you voted for, it's not to late to be on the right side of history. It's OK to have changed your mind and realize that you don't want to be remembered for being complicit in this evil part of history. It's up to THE PEOPLE to #resist in any and every way possible.

Please, please, please, please buy us!! I'll even learn Danish!
Danish citizenship with CA weather? I'll take it! Especially since Denmark is consistently in the top 3 happiest places on earth. Interesting how all of the happiest places have "socialist" policies.

Thousands of Danes sign petition to buy California from U.S.

In response to President Donald Trump’s continued musing about the U.S. acquiring Greenland from Denmark, Danish citizens have launched their own effort to purchase America’s most econo…

The other day hubs and I were talking about events happening when we were in high school and college. Our 7 yo says, "Wow! That was in the 1900s!" Also looking for a dark, quiet room.

When Senator Bill Cassidy had to choose between "doing no harm" and his medical expertise and kissing Trump's ring out of fear, we see which one he chose. Not only is his vote shameful, but it's unethical and he should give up his medical license along with his credibility.

Watching the female performances at the #GRAMMYs: Tell me the industry is sexist AF without telling me the industry is sexist AF. When do you see men dressing & dancing like strippers with the camera zooming in on their asses? Never.
