Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.
A black-and-white historical group photograph of approximately 40 female United States Marine Corps members (Women Marines or "WM") posed in formal rows on the outdoor steps of a building at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, during the 1950s. The women stand in tightly packed tiers, all wearing identical service uniforms: knee-length wool skirts, tailored single-breasted jackets with notched lapels and breast pockets, white blouses, dark neckties, black oxford shoes, and the distinctive rounded "bell-crown" garrison caps (often called "bucket hats") with small Marine Corps emblems. Most appear to be in their mid-20s, with short to medium hairstyles neatly pinned or tucked under their caps, and they maintain serious, proud expressions while looking directly at the camera. The front row stands on the ground level with hands at their sides; upper rows ascend the wide stone or concrete steps of a brick or wooden building entrance labeled "COLLEGE" or similar signage partially visible above. Bare trees in the background suggest late fall or early spring. The image captures the discipline, camaraderie, and expanding role of women in the post-World War II Marine Corps during the early Cold War era.

The uniform: a skirt, blouse, seamed hose, heels, and cover (a black leather purse, not shown in the photo, was also issued as part of the uniform).

A sepia-toned, layered artistic collage created in a vintage photographic style to honor Harriet Tubman (c. 1822–1913), the renowned abolitionist, Underground Railroad conductor, scout, spy, nurse, and suffragist. The central focus is a large, intense close-up portrait of Harriet Tubman wearing her signature dark headscarf or bandana, with a strong, resolute expression and direct gaze toward the viewer. Surrounding and overlapping this main image are several smaller, faded, and translucent portraits of her at different ages and in different poses: some show her in profile or three-quarter view, others in period clothing (long dresses, shawls, or simple blouses), and one includes a small statue or figurine of her holding a staff or lantern symbolizing guidance and freedom. The overlapping layers create a ghostly, multi-generational effect emphasizing her enduring legacy and presence. The overall warm brown tones and soft blending evoke 19th-century photography, making this a powerful tribute intended for Harriet Tubman Day, highlighting her singular courage and impact in the fight against slavery and for human rights.
Born into slavery, Harriet Tubman was an abolitionist. After her own escape, she made 13 missions to rescue enslaved people using the network of antislavery activists & safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. She died #OTD in 1913.

Women’s History Month tends to be overrun with tributes to white women who fought for the vote. It’s also the perfect time to highlight how many Black women did the same at the intersections of other causes.

A powerful UN Women International Women's Day 2026 campaign poster on a deep blue-to-purple gradient background. Large, shiny metallic 3D letters spelling "JUSTICE" are prominently centered and fragmented across the top, with reflective chrome-like surfaces catching light for emphasis. Below the word, a diverse group of five young women of different ethnicities, skin tones, and hair textures huddle closely together in a supportive embrace, arms around each other's shoulders. Their expressions are serious and determined, gazing directly at the camera with quiet strength and solidarity. White text at the bottom reads: "NO JUSTICE FOR ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS = NO JUSTICE AT ALL" in bold uppercase letters. Branding includes the UN Women logo, the "For All Women and Girls" symbol, and a note that stock photos are used. The overall mood is urgent, unifying, and empowering, calling attention to the interconnectedness of gender justice worldwide.

Want to know what patriotism actually looks like? Just ask @abigaildisney.bsky.social, who supports raising taxes on super rich people like herself.
Our members are clear: They want a rich, stable, and free country. That begins with an economy that ensures it.
From New York to California to Washington, states are ramping up efforts to tax the super rich.
Why? Because extreme wealth concentration is making life unaffordable for everyone else.

We already have the right to challenge a book's placement in a school library... and that's a good thing.
This bill undermines that by forcing librarians to work according to the political needs of a current regime.
Don't even joke about banning books you just don't like. Bans take away rights.
Close-up portrait of Setsuko Thurlow (born 1932), Japanese-Canadian atomic bomb survivor, taken in 2017 during an event. The older woman is shown in three-quarter view facing slightly left with a warm, gentle smile conveying joy, wisdom, and quiet resilience. She has short, neatly styled dark hair with soft curls, and red lipstick accentuating her open-mouthed smile or speech. She wears a red top or blouse partially visible under a gray blazer or jacket, and a small red pin or brooch on the lapel. The background is softly blurred with hints of purple fabric and another person nearby, suggesting an indoor gathering or conference setting. Her expression radiates hope and compassion, reflecting her lifelong advocacy for nuclear disarmament and peace.
Setsuko Thurlow survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on 6 Aug 1945. She's a nuclear disarmament campaigner known throughout the world for being a leading figure of the International Campaign to Abolish #Nuclear weapons (ICAN). #WHM

Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902–1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrågan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966–1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso García Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI
