BREAKING: A federal appeals court upheld a ruling that blocks President Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship.

I have a new logo! Drawn by me & with help from @kkagenealogy.bsky.social to polish it up. It's a daffodil flower (the national flower of Wales) growing off of a tree branch which represents the Welsh branches of our family trees. #Genealogy

No surprise that Chicago Pope was able to make it through all the arguments and petty feuds of Conclave voting. He's got a lot of experience with Italian beef.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH.
Pass it on!

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Taxpayers paid to have that research and data collected for OUR benefit. We OWN it not Trump and Musk. They have no right to purge any of it. I despise the Republicans for letting this happen. The elected Repubs are not doing their jobs or upholding their oaths. Nazis, all of them.

More than 130,000 government pages have gone dark in a purge that one scientist likened to a “digital book burning.” A group of librarians and archivists is fighting back.
