I saw someone else's version of this list without alt text. Every community includes low vision, blind, and otherwise disabled folks who make extensive use of screen readers, so I've created a revised version that includes alt text.

Our fears are justified.

Today I give thanks for life's bounty, our freedoms, & communities that give me joy. May you be with the people you love. I also acknowledge our nation's complicated history, where one culture's victory was another's loss. We still grapple with the basic truth that all of us are inherently worthy.

Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines.

Since saving lives is their thing.

In the US, Catholic sisters return Wisconsin land to Ojibwe tribe in a historic first. The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have transferred a lakefront property to the Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa for the same $30,000 they paid in 1966.

For the first time, Catholic sisters return land to a Tribal nation
"This return represents more than the restoration of land — it is the restoration of balance, dignity, and our sacred connection to the places our ancestors once walked."

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Be patient with the National Guard shooting narrative.

It can take time for the authorities to comb DC to find a trans person to blame.

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz.

ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.
