USAID's stop-work order threatens to undo decades of progress in medical research ethics and cause harm to clinical trial participants.

Wouldn’t the easiest solution to Trump’s annexation threats be to make a huge ad buy on Fox & Facebook & absolutely bombard the US populace with misinformation like removing the border would mean our cold would escape & freeze Georgia or that we’d amass roving gangs to hunt & eat their house cats.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests!
Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding.
House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Important, when tempted to feel helpless
A thing I think may be good to emphasise right now is you don't individually need to witness each horror and that posting is not, in fact, praxis. If you want to do something find a local mutual aid group cuz there's actual stuff you can fix and help.

Honestly, I could look at this, and only this, for all my days 💕
Another real highlight from last year. It was a bit of a scramble down the river bank but we were rewarded with something really beautiful.

If you have resolved

in this new year,
and are looking
for something to do,
for something small to do,
for something tangible to do,
consider wearing a mask,
there is still more you can do
there is still more you must do
but a mask

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter. We can all learn from your empathy and action.
If you're remembering Jimmy Carter as a good man, and you should, remember that for the last twenty years of his life one of his defining causes was peace in Palestine.
