It’s sad the level of time and energy and money that has to be wasted fighting things that we should never have had to fight in the first place. No 1’s life changes for the better when we have racist and discriminatory laws in place. It’s just a way to punish ppl for not being born a straight yt man

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

So Trump, and not the "anonymous staffer," actually did post the Obamas/apes video?
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

Chester is one town over from me, I can confirm it has been very secretive. All local officials are being completely ignored. They won't even respond to our Congressman Pat Ryan @pkryan.bsky.social . I'll take this win, every day without them is a day won- but it doesn't mean they won't still try.

This needs 24/7 attention. The USA is now installing concentration camps, not for Japanese Americans feared to be sympathetic with Japan (and that was really a terrible decision) but for hard working people (and their kids) who want to be Americans and do work we do not want to do.

Back in graduate school in the late 1900’s, I worked with HeLa cells in the lab. I had no idea of the story behind them.
They were cervical cancer cells that were taken, without consent, from a woman named Henrietta Lacks.
Her story is one that covers just about every corner of public health.

Another disturbing example of the cruelty of the Trump administration's boat strikes campaign. ⬇️
U.S. officials allowed survivors to languish in the water and ultimately die before sending a rescue plane 45 HOURS after the strike.
Congress must end this illegal and morally bankrupt campaign.

Pleased to speak to @nickturse.bsky.social about USG rescue efforts for the survivors of boat strikes.
“It does not appear as if they were eager to rescue additional survivors and then be faced with the question of ‘what do we do with them?’”

In seas that could kill a person within an hour, it took nearly two days for a rescue plane to arrive.
