It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.
We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

If I say…what I want to say… I will end up in jail.
Meta's strategy of "anything goes" on Instagram is simply not going to work. We've found dozens of accounts where people are stealing videos of women, face swapping AI images of women with Down Syndrome onto them, and creating OnlyFans to sell AI nudes of them

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.
Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.
We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.
The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.
A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Again, this isn't about efficiency.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies.
