Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

@kimberlyeatkins.bsky.social #sistersinlaw 2 possible Qs for the pod. On BPJ, it strikes me that if the Court had said EP amendment applies, a case could be made that as to post puberty competitive sports, bio related restrictions might pass strict scrutiny. What do you all think?

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Dr. Marrazzo led NIAID after Dr. Fauci. She pushed back when Trump appointees questioned childhood flu vaccines and canceled trials. She filed a proper whistleblower complaint through official channels. She was fired 22 days later. This is what happens when you defend science over ideology.

You know you're old when you see that someone has a piece in the WPO about their "ancestors" who fought in WWII. He's talking about you, Dad! #genealogy

Never forget.
Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

The trap for the woman who says she was raped by Hegseth: GOP Senators (namely Susan Collins and Joni Ernst) won't meet with her privately, and Hegseth's lawyer promises to sue her for defamation (combined with a right-wing media sphere that would surely ruin her entire life) if she speaks publicly

FB has been very useful for my #genealogy hobby, bc a bunch of special interest groups are conveniently on 1 platform, but really starting to wish they could aggregate elsewhere.

One of the hardest classes I took in college was Sociology of Immigration, because we had to look up all these diagrams and all the required forms, and remember what they were. It felt impossible. And that was kind of the point.

How do I get the font size increased on Home screen (Discover and Following)? It's fine here on the "post tab"but the "larger" button doesn't seem to do anything. Too small to comfortably skim or read for me. And no help screen? Looked, couldn't find.
