WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Cory Booker is throwing down—filibustering & standing up to Trump’s authoritarian overreach. This is what we need—Dems who disrupt, resist, and fight back. Booker’s stand is a rallying cry for all of us to demand better. Watch here 👉🏾 www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

This is Bear. He disguised himself and snuck into a golden retriever gathering. Safe to say no one suspected a thing. 13/10

a black pittie with a greying snoot sits on a street. he's wearing a blond, curly, shake and go wig. he looks off past the camera with an expression that indicates he has complete confidence in his disguise.

Bear the pittie is facing away from the camera, his entire head consumed by the blond wig. he stands next to two happy goldens who don't even notice anything strange.

Bear stands in the middle of a street next to a majestic golden retriever draped in a regency era cape. the golden is none the wiser to Bear's ruse, nor do any of the five people standing around on the street.

Well before this tragedy, Senator Kaine raised alarms about DCA’s overcrowded airspace putting lives at risk, but he faced opposition from colleagues on both sides of the aisle, many with ties to special interests. Thank you Senator for putting public safety first.

Well, we knew they would blame the plane crash on DEI, and Trump's sycophants will just nod their heads even though it is a nonsensical claim. I don't know how Republicans live with themselves. I really don't. And frankly, most of those Democrats, too, as they put up no resistance.

Watched another school board meeting where fear drowned out facts and personal bias overrode librarian expertise. None of the board members have read the books. Or asked why the books matter. Or listened to the teens who need the books. The frustration is suffocating.

They don’t ban books about rainbows. They ban books about Ruby Bridges walking to school. About Japanese internment camps. About Stonewall. About redlining. Every banned book is a thread they’re trying to pull before we see the whole tapestry of systemic oppression. #FightBookBans

This pup is so good at wagging his tail that he broke the space-time continuum. 12/10 honest mistake

a little white pup with a few big brown spots on his head and back stands on a black tile floor and looks up at you with wide eyes in a slightly grainy photo. his tail is wagging so fast it’s just one big blurry arch, like a peacock’s triumphant plumage or an actively flying aircraft. one of his front paws is lifted slightly, so we’re gonna err on the side of aircraft and he’s already puppared for takeoff.

When a book makes someone want to ban it, ask why. Usually it's because that book speaks truth to power—about racism, about queerness, about the parts of history some prefer to forget. Democracy depends on facing hard truths. #StopBookBans
