Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Devotion runs deep in western New York for the Buffalo Bills — an NFL team that has never won a Super Bowl. “We’ve put up with a lot,” said one fan of the team since its inception in 1960. “Buffalo needs this.”

When the Baltimore Ravens player Mark Andrews missed a crucial pass in a playoff game, at least some Buffalo Bills fans felt sympathy, even amid their win. The Bills fans set out to raise money for a diabetes charity on his behalf, drawing more than $100,000 in donations.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Martin Luther King, Jr. fought to end our nation's deliberate neglect and abuse of Black Americans. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality. At this pivotal moment, we honor his legacy by fighting injustice in all its forms, with everything we've got.
Black and white photo of Martin Luther King, Jr. with quote "We must learn that passively to accept an unjust system is to cooperate with that system, and thereby to become a participant in its evil." the quote is attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. In the photo, Dr. King is wearing a suit and tie, standing at a podium speaking.

On Jan. 11, 1922, the first dose of insulin was administered to a person with #type1diabetes. On Jan. 11, 2016, my son was diagnosed with T1D at age 10. On Jan. 11, 2025, Republicans show they don’t give a damn about the challenges Americans face by trying to increase the cost of #insulin.
