A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
This list of banned books is basically my book collection. Come on over. There’s nothing in there but brave women fighting against impossible odds and betting on themselves, what they believe in and their families of choice. Dangerous stuff.
Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.
“UNICEF is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life and the devastation caused by this disaster. Our teams are already on the ground working with UN agencies to respond rapidly to urgent needs." Read UNICEF Afghanistan Representative Dr. Tajudeen Oyewale's statement 👇 t.co/UFL0ha50NV
This.
Trump's contribution to our politics was exposing that conservatives don't care about any of the principles they've said are sacrosanct for 100 years, and all they wanted was to be openly evil instead of circuitously evil. The Democrats who win will be the ones who understand this and act like it
Not sure whose fault it is primarily that most people don't seem to know that the president is basically a manager whose job is to carry out the will of Congress, and not The Country's Boss

This was hella helpful.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

CDC employees are walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USANotRFK
A very strong & powerful resignation letter from Dr. Daskalakis calling out RFK jr. “I am unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”
A devastating new milestone: key indicators confirm that conditions have officially reached famine levels in the #GazaStrip. Our colleagues are on the ground doing everything possible to deliver for children in #Gaza, despite the immense challenges. Follow us for humanitarian updates. #promoted

Where is it not hot humid and smokey? Can I go to there?
Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,
I’m in a play. My mom just died. The USA has failed to preserve its own self. Life feels like maybe too much these days.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
That’s because you are so smart.
My mom is dying and I don’t know what to do - to argue with fate, try to amor fatis, eat donuts. I am ill equipped for the one true certainty in life. It always ends.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
People are being disappeared by our government. With all love and compassion, to hell with our comfort level, anxiety be damned, and f*ck whatever excuse we have as to why we aren’t the kind of people who are activists. If you're a decent human, it's time. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/heres-why-...
Alex Livingston’s Knave of Secrets is a lovely fantasy jaunt with some wonderful characters who are (gasp) older than 25.
The Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to investigate and potentially prosecute former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan, key figures in the original Russia investigation, are not about justice. They’re about vengeance.
It’s been five days since floods in Texas killed at least 111 people and FEMA’s Acting Administrator David Richardson still hasn’t made a single public or internal statement.
July is Disability Pride Month! This year marks 35 years since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination based on disability. Modeled on other civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination (1/2)
Thou shalt admit that the president is a rapist who destroyed the Epstein list to cover up his crimes.

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.
What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow? Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy? Our new concentration camps? Our dying economy? Our ditching due process? Our corruption? Our broken legislature? Our corrupt SCOTUS? Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly
The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.
Alligator Alcatraz, overcrowded cages filled with bunk beds, no AC, maximum humidity and heat, in the middle of the Everglades. Inhumane and unsafe conditions, especially during a hurricane. #alligatoralcatraz #humanrights #prison #everglades #ice #resist
Can we nip this "Alligator Alcatraz" shit in the bud? We don't need to adopt their cutesy marketing when talking about the concentration camp in the Florida Everglades
otplink.icc-cpi.int Here is a link where you can submit Noem, Homan, Trump, Vance, and DeSantis to the International Criminal Court for Crimes Against Humanity. I just submitted it. If enough of us do it they will have to take notice and deal with it.
We now have a concentration camp in Florida. Stop pretending any of this is normal. If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person. Be human.
If there was ever a time to call your Senator, this is it. Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?
By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was *not* about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.
I’ll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.
I am begging people not to look to the NYT for coverage of what's happening. The BBC, Le Monde, Ajazeera and others will have more truthful coverage.
there's always a bunch of tweets for it!
The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.
We’re #1!!!
Social Security has stopped publicly reporting its processing times for benefits, the 1-800 number’s current call wait time and numerous other performance metrics, which customers and advocates have used to track the agency’s struggling customer service programs.
I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country
There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.
🧪NIH staff have released the Bethesda Declaration, a public statement signed by over 340 scientists and staff, urging their director to depoliticize the agency and reverse significant cuts and freezes to external grants. It comes in response to a proposed 40% budget cut to NIH for 2026. #MedSky

Trump instigated this entirely on his own. You don’t overrun a state’s National Guard without a request from that state, that’s a violation of constitutional limits. He manufactured a crisis.
For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.
This long Q&A from January on what to expect in Trump Term Two held up pretty well sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-quest...
Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.
🕊️🩵🌍▪️🪰🦤🍊▪️🚫👑🌮
The ACLU weighed in on Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard as an “inflammatory abuse of power. This action puts Angelenos in harm’s way, exposes troops to legal and ethical consequences, and shreds a fundamental democratic principle, that the military has no place policing civilians.”
“A fascist society is one in which some people are deputized to do violence, and everyone else is forced to defend themselves.”
I feel like we need foreign monitors of the human right abuses we are seeing in this country.
Your safety is the top priority. Peaceful protesters have already been harmed for doing nothing. The story they’re selling isn’t legit. Please film everything, document everything.

In truth, I’m not that good at trouncing yet. But I’m learning.
The Security Council failed to pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire on Wednesday because of one veto. It is time for the UN General Assembly to do the right thing and authorize peacekeepers to accompany humanitarian convoys.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.
Sorry to step away from the catfight, but we’ve got a win! A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps halting the termination of grants and its volunteer network!
I'd go with like "many of the pedophiles who flew with Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's planes are the same people who are also trying to cut health care for Americans. Part of the reason they want us poor is so we can't fight back when they rape our kids."
The online feud is amusing, yes, but it’s no accident. If you haven’t already heard of Dark MAGA you need to learn. The plan has always been to replace the dunce. The evil psychopaths taking over our country are playing us. Please do not be distracted. www.commondreams.org/opinion/dark...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: pathogens don’t care who you voted for or what color your passport is. This cruelty hurts us all.

This devastating takedown of Trump by @judgeluttig.bsky.social is no ordinary critique. It is a tour-de-force by a conservative titan, the “j’accuse” for our times. Looking forward to joining @symonedsanders.bsky.social to discuss on @msnbc.com at 11:15 PM ET. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Under court order, the government has released a nearly unredacted copy of the memorandum of understanding between the IRS and Homeland Security revealing how taxpayer data was shared for immigration enforcement.
So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.
What would we do without you?

Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.
