I love this and the quote from Jane Goodall, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

Olivia of Troye @oliviaoftroye.com · 7d

Jane Goodall didn’t just change how we see animals. She changed how we see ourselves.
Amid government shutdowns and attempts at silencing, her lesson feels urgent: what we do matters.

In the Footsteps of Jane Goodall

Science, compassion, and courage in an age of government shutdowns and silencing.

“This isn’t homeland security. It’s federalized fear, a campaign of cruelty disguised as law and order.”

Chicago isn’t a battlefield. But Trump is making it one.
Now he’s threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, to use the U.S. military against Americans. This isn’t about immigrants or crime. It’s about power. And once fear becomes law, it never stops where it starts.

The Insurrection Act and the War at Home

Fear, force, and the line America has crossed.

Seattle’s King5 is apparently trying to stir up “CARJACKING CHAOS”with unsubstantiated articles online.

I tried to look up *any* of these instances online & found nothing related to 2024-2025. 🫠

It would be bad enough if that’s all ICE did to kids in Chicago

But they also

•Descended on them with Black Hawk helicopters

•Unleashed armed men who broke into their homes in the middle of the night

•Removed them from their families

•Zip-tied them

•And detained them for hours

Unconscionable

Dems need to stop being spineless and just go over Mike Johnson's head and get a judge to swear in Adelita Grijalva.
Stop acting like we have a functioning government. We don’t!

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 9h

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."

The Gaza War Isn’t Over Yet. But It Could Be Soon.

Trump may have ended the Gaza hostage crisis. Can he end the Gaza war?

We don't ask Pilots to pay for jet fuel or Cops to pay for handcuffs. So then why is it ok to ask teachers to pay for school supplies?🤔
Amazing how quick Republicans were able to find funds to pay these wretched deplorables.

Let's give teachers $50k signing bonuses, 100k salaries, and 60k Student loan forgiveness. You know, the same as ICE Gets.
