NEW — Keith Sonderling, Trump’s Deputy Secretary of Labor, has been named the Acting Director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), an agency source tells me. He’ll arrive tomorrow at their office with DOGE and their security detail.

As of 2022, only 29 US states required some kind of sex ed in schools—and about half of those didn’t require the information to be medically accurate. Where you live shouldn’t dictate your quality of education. The first episode of Crash Course Sex Ed is available now! youtu.be/SkSItIS_Xl0?...

Beyond our moral obligations, this is why the right response is to defend those being targeted. Sacrificing trans people won’t shield you, and it will only further degrade your institution’s integrity, even beyond the impact of inevitable budget cuts.

Over 90% of people detained by ICE are being held in private prisons. No one should be lining their pockets off of people's detainment.

Member of @jvp.bsky.social: We will fight for our Palestinian siblings every day. We will refuse to allow this fascist regime to continue to co-opt the idea of Jewish safety as a cover for its obscene, disgusting immigration policies to the weaponization of its laws and of its immigration systems.”

I think it’s crucial, as we all prepare to go to more protests, that we understand what tools law enforcement have and will continue to utilize against protestors exercising their 1st amendment rights. Stingrays are capable of intercepting location, recent calls, & ID. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wzSg...

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.

Transphobia, like racism, is central to profitable oppression.“The trans community has taught us to challenge the very foundation of our sense of "normalcy." If it is possible to challenge the gender binary, then we can certainly, effectively, resist prisons and jails and police.” -Dr. Angela Davis

The state should not have the power to take your life, it should not have the power to take your freedom. Regardless of any individual feelings about the crime or the person who was convicted of it. The barbarity of state violence is not increased or decreased by the method, or the offer of choice.

FEMA staffer: The agency has “become the whipping post for a lot of anger that should be directed at the eunuchs in Congress incapable of legislating any meaningful change because obstruction is preferable over compromise.”

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

We’re seeing that constitutionally-protected rights are only as good as the people willing to defend them.
