The Trump regime is disappearing people to indefinite detention in third countries they’ve never been to, often giving them no chance to contest their deportation and breaking U.S. and international law.

Cruelty and inhumanity beyond belief.

The Trump Administration is deporting people to countries they have no ties to, where many are being detained indefinitely or forcibly returned to the places they fled. Sarah Stillman reports.

The rising unemployment rate among Black women is a five-alarm fire.

It is a crisis for Black women, Black families, and Black futures—and a glaring red flag for our economy.

There's a tradition that never gets old: our ex-orphans returning home after giving birth, just to share the joy with the Keepers who raised them. This time of year is full of these reunions - mothers bringing their wild-born babies back to say hello. That's what your support creates. 🐘💚

Each of these babies are only alive today because we stepped into rescue and raise their mothers after they were orphaned. Today, these rescued elephants are living wild and raising confident, playful babies.

In the 1950s, LGBTQ+ public servants were pushed out of government due to their identity.

As HRC’s Jonathan Lovitz illustrates, the recent dismissal of David Maltinsky for displaying a Pride flag is a warning sign that those days may return. https://bit.ly/49Fc18x

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

I encourage you to join — and shop small. https://weaintbuyingit.com/

Vegan as in fuck right off to the idea that eternally force breeding 100s of billions of nonhuman animals into a short life of violent exploitation before massacring them at the most profitable moment for nonessential human purposes is in any way justifiable.

Front loader cargo bikes aren’t just for babies/toddlers.

I love the stability of our @bunchbike.com (trike) and the kids (7 & 9yo) love being able to sit side by side and read/play/share.

Today they were reading from a joke book & giggling on the ride home with a friend.

This is a vile invitation for white nationalists and anti-Semites to infiltrate the U.S. military amid a surge in hate fueled by the Trump admin. Every former military officer and leader should lobby for an immediate reversal of this dangerous decision.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

As mammals, we are what biologists call “social animals“. We have an instinct for empathy. It makes us feel for each other.
It spills over to our kin—other animals. We are horrified (psychopaths excepted) by cruelty and suffering.
So we hide slaughterhouses.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

Tierra Walker died because she could not get an abortion in Texas to treat her severe preeclampsia.

This is what Republicans have wrought with their anti-abortion crusade.

But let’s be clear: Abortion bans aren’t pro-life. They’re pro-control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN3oLwO0OEE

AI data centers are sucking up communities’ power & water.

AI is being used by corporations to shaft consumers and is threatening young workers’ job prospects.

So Trump wants to ram through a ban on state AI regulation — all to help out his Big Tech billionaire friends.

Priorities.

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s Super-Kipekee! Her bright blue 'cape' is as practical as it is stylish: Newly orphaned calves arrive cold, traumatised, and desperately missing their mothers' warmth. A soft blanket becomes their security – physical comfort that says "you're safe, you're not alone."

Lessons and hope from history. 👇
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
