On the one hand, we're all fucked, individually and collectively.
On the other hand, the only way out is through, and the only way we're making it through alive is by joining up together and working collectively.

We started Sacred Stories Co-Op w @paperbacksfrybread.bsky.social & my kid is loving it. Tonight we went from @lilygladstone.bsky.social (when she said she is Blackfoot, “HEY! So is my dad!” like she could hear them through the TV), to cultural burning to prevalence of abuse in the homeschool space

Look, sugar, most of us are worried about food & meds, IDGAF about your social media built on consumerism.
Come on, I’ll show you how to mend things & maybe we can figure it out, but this isn’t the room to whine about lack of shopping.

Homeschooling as a secular person is a lot of doom scrolling ATM.
Do I need to buy curriculum from now until 12th grade to make sure we get real facts & science, do I cross my fingers & hope, so I hold that since they want to break the DOE that homeschool will still be an option?

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

This means our national parks will be even more vulnerable to poaching.

Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."
