🚨BOYCOTT ALERT 🚨

STARTING FEBRUARY 1st, MY ORGANIZATION WE ARE SOMEBODY IS CALLING ON A MASS BOYCOTT OF ALL TARGET STORES.

Yesterday, Target announced that they are rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

Good for Twin Cities Pride for giving Target (a major Minnesota company) the boot 👠

It has been one week. Don’t give up!

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

Rain in LA brings some much needed good news

Around the world quilt.

More important: Bluesky, you had me at your ALT text feature. 🥵

#quilts #quilting #handstitched #handquilted

My immediate assumption about anyone who complains about DEI or similar is that they actually can’t compete on a level playing field

Freezing scientific funding isn’t abstract. In medicine, life or death is often dictated by time. Temporary delays can cause great harm.

Make sure to email this address with only super accurate and real reports of woke behavior. It would really be a shame if this inbox was so flooded that it became totally useless.

This is disgusting. It’s happening across government agencies, but there’s something viscerally horrible about seeing such hateful language underneath the NASA logo.

Whenever I start to feel anxious I immediately have another coffee and scroll through the worst news imaginable on my phone and omg it does not help at all

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week

and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you *will* do something about it

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

The censorship begins: According to officials, the Trump administration is instructing health agencies including the CDC, FDA, NIH, and HHS to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites and social media posts.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

What is one simple act of resistance that will absolutely infuriate any authoritarian determined to make the world ignore pandemics and climate change?

Wearing a mask.
