Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

Yep. Because of you. If Trump was scared of being successfully prosecuted, again, MAYBE he'd hold back a little. But you saw to it that he cannot be held accountable. Good work, Mr. Chief Justice. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Last week, RFK Jr. directed the FDA to “review” the safety of mifepristone — an abortion medication we’ve known is safe and effective for years — based on a junk paper released by a Republican think tank. This isn’t about “safety,” it’s about further limiting bodily autonomy.

Oh great… what could possibly go wrong? I wonder if people on the autism registry will be given some sort of badge to help identify them. Maybe something like a black triangle. 😬

The country continues to shift toward anti-institutionalism. And they aren’t wrong to think that the institutions are broken. What we need to give them is a better solution than MAGA. Instead, all the Democratic Party is offering them is a promise to return to the stasis they voted against.

Pete Hegseth is what real "DEI hire" looks like. The "DEl hire" is NOT the Black female surgeon who worked 3x as hard as her white male counterparts to finish her training while facing baseless assumptions that she is unqualified and goes on to have *better* outcomes while providing life saving care. The "DEl hire" is this white male who is unqualified for the security clearance he has and puts lives in danger as a result of it and then despite his gross incompetence STILL keeps his job.

Because the first question shifts the blame to the desperate, making their morality the focus, while the second question demands accountability from the powerful. It's easier to question survival than to challenge greed.

Stop pointing out that Biden deported more people, because: 1.) Don’t remind us how much he sucked. 2.) You want to encourage Trump to deport *more* people? and 3.) Historically, when tyrants figured out that mass deportation wasn’t “efficient” enough, they found other solutions. “Final solutions.”

This response from @sbearbergman.bsky.social to @hildur.bsky.social’s post has changed my week— it is so wholesome, and human, and so the energy we all need right now. And Kerstin Langenberger, the naturalist who posted “I am on my way with the necessary equipment”? This woman is the hero we need.
My feed today on BlueSky included a post from Icelandic writer Hildur Knútsdóttir, who saw the original exchange on a Reykjavik Facebook page - someone posted to say that it appeared a cygnet was frozen to the ice and dying. As people worried online about how or whether it would be possible to help, naturalist Kerstin Langerberger replied to the post, saying: “I am on my way with the necessary equipment.” Langenberger brought a friend, some thermoses of warm water, and a surfboard in case the ice failed - the necessary equipment - and thawed then freed the baby swan, which promptly flew off. 

There are a number of things I appreciate about this story, but it’s Langenberger’s statement that resonates for me. That is what I aspire to, to see injury or difficulty or something gone to trouble and decide: I am on my way with the necessary equipment. But also, to hold on to the understanding that sometimes the necessary equipment is the resolve to try and a friend who will help, and that sometimes I *am* the necessary equipment - the friend who shows up to make myself useful under the direction of an expert. 

There are a lot of moments these days that I find it very, very hard to do the next thing, or indeed to do anything. The world is so, so difficult. I often feel useless or overwhelmed or exhausted or just really fucking sad. But I am going to try starting the days by saying, with all the starch that I imagine a naturalist willing to chance the ice in darkness to save a baby bird might possess: 

I am on my way with the necessary equipment.
