Department of education event at the Kennedy Center.

Trump's 'Freedom 250' national events calendar has only 9 events. 🀣🀣

This one: an org he's actively trying to dissolve

I love checking date tooltips. When bluesky asks how old I am, I scroll that year as far as I can.

The max age on blue sky is 125 (birth year 1900)

Coincidentally, I am 125 years old on blue sky.

When you ask how Germans became immune to the horrors of Nazism during the 30s, remember that this is now 2025 and this crap is being said in the greatest democracy on the planet.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

β€œBig tech has made their choice”

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Yesterday, I learned that Robert E. Lee saw slavery as a morally and politically evil, but went to war to defend it.

Is that where ICE agents fall today? How they want to be remembered in history? As traitors?

The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background. 

Overlapping the floral design is bold white text that reads: 

"I WISH FOR YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR IMMIGRANTS"

The text is prominent and stands out clearly against the colorful backdrop. At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.

Absolutely insane that every vote is a squeaker, and literally no one wants this bill but they don’t wanna get primary. This bill is insane trash and will make everyone’s life worse except mine. And I don’t want the tax break. I want to pay for kids meals and Headstart with my taxes.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...
