The amazing thing about brave people speaking out is that it inspires others to do the same by creating a permission structure. Since I published this article 4 hours ago, I've heard from multiple sources confirming what's in it. www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses.

Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

David Rothkopf @djrothkopf.bsky.social · Jun 8

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

We still plan to protest and march for LGBTQ+ rights and stand up to the Trump admin. We will be more aware of our safety next time—and expect things to get more intense on the streets. Seeing the joyful protest for TDOV across the country is really inspiring and I know love will win.

During the march we were screamed at multiple times, flipped off, and an impatient driver swerved into the marchers and narrowly missed hitting people. The vitriol towards the Trans community is being flamed by Trump and people are eagerly joining in.

My trans teen and I went to a TDOV march in our sanctuary city yesterday. It started off so sweet with people giving out flowers and chocolate covered strawberries. We’ve been going to protests since they were a baby, but this was the first time we felt unsafe at one. (Cont. below)

Happy International Women's Day from Ada Limon

HOW TO TRIUMPH LIKE A GIRL

I like the lady horses best,
how they make it all look easy,
like running 40 miles per hour
is as fun as taking a nap, or grass.
I like their lady horse swagger,
after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up!
But mainly, let's be honest, I like
that they're ladies. As if this big
dangerous animal is also a part of me,
that somewhere inside the delicate
skin of my body, there pumps
an 8-pound female horse heart,.
giant with power, heavy with blood.
Don't you want to believe it?
Don't you want to lift my shirt and see
the huge beating genius machine
that thinks, no, it knows,
it's going to come in first.

Hi, it’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m an illustrator from Olympia, WA working in both digital and traditional media, incorporating handmade textures into my art. I’m currently working on a graphic memoir about growing up in the 80’s. I love to quilt and embroider, too!

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Measles can cause immune amnesia so catching measles might mean that you would have to get every vaccine you've ever gotten over again and every cold, flu and infection your body has already learned to fight off it would forget. Except for measles itself.

rahaeli @rahaeli.bsky.social · Feb 22

Because I will always repeat this when we see measles circulating again: if you were born 1957-1972 and did attend college or 1957-1987 and didn't attend college, you should get your MMR immunity tested with a simple lab test or one adult dose of MMR booster if your insurance won't cover labwork.

There’s a direct link between the death of these children and Trump. Doge has blood on their hands.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Video obtained by CNN shows the rear landing gear of the jet buckling and the right wing shearing away in a fireball after the plane landed hard on the runway.
