one cynically funny thing about Hegseth thinking he can retcon the genocide atop which America was built is that the rest of the world is not fooled & will never be fooled. World history will always teach that the Army committed organized murder of civilians at Wounded Knee. It’s generally known

So Trump is threatening to use the FBI against any hospital providing transgender surgeries to those under 18.

Note: Such procedures, typically limited to top surgery and in some rare cases, bottom surgery at 17 before going to college, are legal.

This is meant to scare hospitals out of care.

Kenyan #journalist Alvin Kaunda was reporting live from Nairobi when a curious baby #elephant, Kindani, decided to join the broadcast. The playful elephant stuck her trunk in Alvin's mouth, making for a hilarious moment! A joyful reminder of wildlife's charm and the work of the Sheldrick Trust!

Note to self: if you live in Montana do not pack away the snow shovel until June, at least.

Happy Spring from the Big Sky!

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

Considering I still won't keep a hat on a bed all these years later, I'd posit Drugstore Cowboy as the most influential film of all time. Thank you, Gus Van Sant! I think.

He was what we needed then, and we need him again now. I sincerely hope he becomes more active and loudly confronts the evil of this administration head on. He still holds the power to motivate people, we could use his energy. 🙏🏾

Trying to give concessions to people who were lying about you, who knew they were lying but sought to manipulate a response from you, is loser behavior. Tell them firmly not to wear that off the rack shit to court and you’ll see them there
They will never stop shaking down Columbia. Columbia should revoke all the concessions it made and take them to court.
In the NYT right now, from a Justice Dept lawyer: “I will tell you right now that Columbia has not in my opinion — and the opinion of the Department of Justice — has not cleaned up their act,” Mr. Terrell said. “They’re not even close, not even close to having those funds unfrozen.”

Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity."

A sad day for this nation.

this book is so, so good
“I am the nameless crew member who died on January 27, 1597.” So reports the narrator of this boldly imaginative, profoundly beautiful novel by Donald Niedekker, “the Zen master of Dutch literature.” Out in May; we have ARCs now. Media folks and bookstore peeps, hit us up if you want one.
