"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Two years of hostilities in #Gaza have doubled the need for #mentalhealth support.
@who.int is helping scale up mental health services and has delivered medication for over one million people so far.
To truly meet people’s needs, the ceasefire must hold and lasting peace must be achieved.

The fact that the book/fandom community immediately turned away from the incredible storyteller who abused women, but continue to give money to the other storyteller actively funding anti-trans legislation is...telling.

This Saturday, June 14th, join one of the 1,800+ No Kings protests across the country. While Trump celebrates his birthday with a military parade in D.C. like a wannabe king, we'll be joining together to uphold our democracy and protect our rights! @indivisible.org #NoKingsDay

The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students.
This is how you refuse to comply.

I'm a former OMB official and this is absolutely true.
And let's also not forget that these illegal actions have direct, harmful consequences for actual people. New moms won't get help feeding their infants. Small businesses won't make payroll. People could lose their jobs, their homes.

There is simply no plausible argument that the president has the constitutional authority to refuse to spend appropriated funds because he doesn’t like how the money is being spent.
The legality of policy impoundments is just not a close question.

Found Merchants of Doubt at my library's used book store for a couple dollars. It's been on my list for a while, so that was pretty exciting!
What non-fiction books are y'all picking up?

I spent most of the past few days on Tiktok downloading favorites and watching my favorite creators' final videos. When the app stopped, I was in @mothernightshade.bsky.social's live. I'm both heartbroken at the loss of community and connection and glad I was part of it.

I have absolutely zero interest in watching the inauguration. There are far better things I can do with my time (ie connecting with neighbors, reading, spending time with my cat).

I am seeing so many posts on social media about boycotting the inauguration. Don't you dare. Don't you dare turn your eyes away from history, even the awful, scary parts. If you don't watch it with your own eyes, you rely on others to tell you what you saw. We must all bear witness to what's coming
