President Trump’s new executive order aims to root out “improper ideology” at federal history sites, including the National Zoo.
Critics call the move bizarre, but history shows that zoos have long been used for political messaging, from fascist stunts to Cold War propaganda.

Pandas and politics − from World War II to the Cold War, zoos have always been ideological
Zoos aren’t woke, but they aren’t politically neutral, either.

“It’s ridiculous and it’s also self-defeating. Because ignoring crowds like this, that’s ignoring the early warning system that you’ve got a really big political problem.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on President Musk’s conspiracy theories about “paid protesters” and the backlash to the MAGA agenda

Cops followed multiple protesters after Friday's protest outside the Republican Women’s dinner in #Fairbanks. They pulled over at least one vehicle (no ticket, though). Stay alert, drive cautiously, and do not engage with cops or antagonists. Pic from UAF Sun Star. #AkLeg #Alaska

The most visible sign says "not a radical left lw...[out of frame], I am your constituent."

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Montana women are safer this week than last week. 5 draconian abortion bans were officially struck down by the Montana Supreme Court! These Republican-driven bans would have severely restricted access to care, especially for low-income Montanans, and would have likely killed Montana women. #mtpol

BREAKING: We're suing to block the Trump administration from requiring artists who apply to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding to have to attest they won't use any funds to "promote” what the government deems to be “gender ideology."
This is a violation of the First Amendment.

1) Lavish fish monitoring: I appreciate the image several of you have posted about bedazzled fish. We wish! Our fisheries program is so understaffed, our biologist’s idea of lavish is a lunch break.

I am so disgusted with our government and ashamed of friends and family—-and strangers—-who voted for this total meltdown of decency and logic.
Fuck Trump and all the representatives that support him. It’s unconsienable!
