Where's the outrage and support and love for the family of the children who are in critical condition from yesterday's school shooting in Denver? Or Melissa and Mark Hortman? Or the children killed in the MN church shooting?

What if we had a vaccine that prevents cancer?
Oh wait… we do. The HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccine prevents cervical cancer.
✔️ 2-dose series starting at age 9
✔️ Catch up until age 26
✔️ Ages 27–45? Talk to your doctor

Protect your kids. Protect yourself.

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers?

I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

9 years ago, 49 lives were stolen in a deadly attack affecting the LGBTQ+ community at Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

No one should have to fear for their lives when they go out for the night with their friends.

We must put an end to gun violence for good.

#AltCitizen alert!

The high school student Anelise Feldman wrote a touching letter reminding Rep. Laurel Libby how not to be a bully.

I hope Anelise Feldman is filled with pride and knows how much this one letter means.

A high school student is more mature and professional than an elected rep.
this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts.
Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

This is a crisis response app. If a diplomat is in danger, for any reason, this sends their whereabouts to diplomatic security in country and DC
USAID employees overseas are no longer able to access their government security app, which gives them this error code (images provided to me by USAID worker)

The county library system just put out a hell of a statement about the EOs, telling us they're bullshit and the libraries are here for the whole community no matter what.

I am so proud of them. Goddamn I love librarians.

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

I just want to say, as Trump is about to take the oath, that I am as committed as ever to protecting our democracy from authoritarians and oligarchs.

It’s not going to be easy.

But I’m in this with all of you until we win our country back.

Peace, love and light to all.
